Were are these prawns packed. Are they packed overseas ?

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, are there 2 types…. Crystal Bay Prawns and Crystal Bay Tiger Prawns???? Are they all sold boxed and frozen? Are these different from ones found in NSW Woolies sold at the deli and other seafood stores??

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.

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.
