Endeavour Prawn (Metapenaeus endeavouri & Metapenaeus ensis)
Endeavour prawns are regarded by seafood experts as the best tasting of all prawn species, with a rich oceanic flavour they provide fantastic taste and value for money when available.

 

Seasonality: February to June

 

Flavour: Deep and rich ocean taste
Texture: Firm and meaty
Oil content: Low
Moisture: Moist and luscious
Harvested from: Moreton Bay
Harvest Method: Bay trawling (otter)

Fishers and consumers get the best results when in harmony with the environment.


Trawling has been conducted in Moreton Bay for its prolific prawns since the 1950s. The prawn catches have traditionally been kept fresh (unfrozen) and the boats unload regularly to maximise quality and shelf life.
