Attack of the Giant Prawns

[Youstolemyname]

Can anyone reccomend any online fishmongers that sell HUGE prawns with their shells on? Our local fishmonger is great but he doesn't have any Tiger Prawns

I want some huge huge prawns for Christmas day to fry in garlic butter.

Surprising the food stuff you can get on ebay, there's a guy that sells black/white truffles for a pretty reasonable price too.

Makro had them in stock last time I looked if you know someone with a Makro card.

I LOVE Borough market. We went there for the first time last time we were in that London. Stocked up on a whole load of goodies but that was in October so sadly they are gone. Bit far from Liverpool sadly

We have a Makro card. I shall dispatch the wife!

What's a Makro card?
This has got me craving prawns...good thing it's food shopping day.

Makro is a members only wholesale warehouse. A bit like Costco but you have to be authorised to make purchases on behalf of a business.

these look like they fit the bill...

I'm sure they also sell them as singles at the fresh fish counter.
