What are the different types of Prawns and what do they taste like?

There are three main species of prawns, they are:

1) the Tiger prawn, deeper red in colour with a unique “tiger” stripe, these have a medium flavour

2) the King prawn, distinct when raw by their bright blue tail ends, these prawns are rich in flavour

3) the Banana prawn, lighter in colour and sweeter in flavour.

The colour of the prawn comes from the depth of the water they live in, the further up north the lighter the shell of the prawn due to the deeper water, natural sun protection! All our prawns are from Australia, we source from both South Australia and Queensland to get the best picks all year round.
