Crystal Bay Australian Tiger Prawns Questions & Answers

Since they are farmed in Queensland and shipped locally, it doesn't seem likely that they are packed outside Australia. However you can contact the company on their website at external link  and ask them directly.

I believe they are packed in Northern QLD at the Seafarms facility.

Hi Kylie, As far as I'm aware, the original Crystal Bay Prawns came only in School Prawn and King Prawn varieties, sold only fresh. in Sydney Fish Markets. Woolies Deli started to sell the King Prawn, not any Tiger Prawn (from memory). I just searched for Crystal Bay Prawns, and found that there is in fact a Tiger Prawn variety from Crystal Bay. I hope this is helpful. Note, Due to Covid, I haven't been to Sydney Fish Markets for a very long time, but from my experience, I'll buy the fresh ones from the Market, rather than the frozen product.

Yes that would be ideal but I’ve moved to Townsville and can’t find any here…

Personally, I found the prawns to be "too strong" in flavour.....bordering on unpleasant, but I digress....Defrosting should be done over a couple of hours or more dependant upon how much. I just place them in a large bowl next to my sink, covered with a tea towel. You can try one out, and rinse / drain before serving...I always do. Hope this helps.

thank you i think i will marinate in lemons to make the flavor less strong
