Details
Sanlucar king prawns are farmed in the mouth of the Guadalquivir river, in an area adjacent to the Natural Park of Donana, one of the most biologically diverse areas in Europe. By day, it usually lives hiding in the sand, and then at night, it comes out to feed, mainly on algae and small crustaceans. It is precisely this food and the characteristics of the waters in which it grows, that confer such an intense flavour to the product, making it famous in comparison with prawns from other areas.
Fishermen say that the most precious Sanlucar prawns are those that are captured by the Samaruco area at the mouth of river. They recommend catching them as adults, between 3 to 4 months old.
At present, these beautiful Spanish prawns have an official quality brand name called Langostino de Sanlucar (King Prawn of Sanlucar) for those prawns which are caught on the coast of the lower Guadalquivir river. A study conducted jointly by the University of Granada and the Institute of Marine Sciences of Andalucia concluded that the seafood obtained in the towns of Sanlucar, Rota and Chipiona, has different characteristics than those captured in other parts of the world, hence introducing an official quality brand will make these prawns more recognisable within the market.
Our Sanlucar King Prawns are caught off the coast of Cadiz. Whole and head on, they are individually quick frozen on the boats to ensure their freshness and packaged in 1Kg boxes. Each Sanlucar prawn weighs around 20 grams. To defrost them, simply bring the prawns out of the freezer and allow them to naturally defrost for 1 hour, cook immediately once defrosted.
Format: 1Kg of Sanlucar Prawns served frozen in a polysterene box.

Buen sabor pero un poco pequeños/as para su precio . Lo digo porque yo he comido Langostinos de San Carlos de la Rapita y esos si que se pueden llamar como en UK - King Prowns...!

The prawns are fabulous and again well packaged. They arrived on time and still frozen. I highly recommend this firm. Further products were purchased but not yet tried but I have no doubt they will be as delicious as the products tried.

Hi After trying the sanlucar king prawns we would find it a struggle to find any other prawns that tasted better. Well done Basco again!!

I ordered Sanlucar King Prawns for a gourmet paella/tapas menu for my birthday party and, following a delivery issue (which was dealt with quickly and effectively by Javier), they arrived packaged with care and still fully frozen. The outer shell is a little harder than most other king prawns but that means they retain more flavour and juiciness throughout the cooking process, be that grilling, pan-frying or baking on top of a paella. And on the subject of flavour and juiciness, these prawns were exquisite ... an intensely delicious seafood flavour and a juiciness that, up to now, I've only ever associated with lobster. I just know I'm going to develop a lifelong hankering for these!
