Banana Prawn (Fenneropenaeus merguiensis)


Moreton Bay Fresh Banana Prawns, when in season, are a delight to be savoured, they are an autumnal to winter species that can brighten any winter day.

 

Seasonality: April to August

 

Flavour: Light and delectable
Texture: Firm
Moisture: Moist and juicy freshness
Harvested from: Moreton Bay
Harvest Method: Bay trawling (otter and beam)
Stock Status: Sustainably fished

 

Fishers and consumers get the best results when in harmony with the environment.
Independent scientific research concludes that the operation of prawn-trawl gear has low impact on seabeds where prawns are caught. Nevertheless, industry development aims to further reduce disturbance of the seabed, as this results in reduced fuel use and lower emission of green-house gases.
