..of which 8744 tonnes were exported. So 60%+ of the prawns for sale in Aus are imported.

I've not eaten an imported prawn since we arrived here. I buy my prawns straight from the skipper who catches them. SIL is a deckie on the same boat so I know I get the freshest prawns available.
When we first arrived & I was having a nice long holiday living at the marina in Tin Can Bay I did a trip or two on local prawn trawlers, not to mention a couple on the crab boats.
Having seen first hand how hard the life is I don't mind paying the extra for fresh local seafood. It's my number one fine food discovery:thumbup:
Number two is Redclaw fresh from the farm up the road from us yum:thumbup:

That is the best way....unfortunately Tiger Prawn farming is making catching wild prawns a dying trade.

There are less prawn trawlers on the Brisbane river nowadays.

Sure I saw them at the local Mall for $15 a box at the weekend....

Re: Whats the best food product you have found since you have been in Oz?
 

We buy them around $3.50 each but the quality is variable.

They're 2 for a $1 up here, the guy just down the road sells organic Kensington Pride for a $1 each though & they are fantastic tasting ones.

Re: Whats the best food product you have found since you have been in Oz?
 

Must be the transport costs to Brisbane then:rofl:

I prefer the Kensington pride.....those are the ones we buy.

Thanks to Grayling for hijacking the post and creating a debate on the fishing industry of Australia. :curse:

Quite impressive how people take time to query whether the fish at Sydney markets are from Sydney waters? or do you ask for a written guarantee receipt with each prawn? :rofl:

I prefer to sit on the harbour with my jaffa cakes! :thumbsup:
