About this item

Langoustine, frozen whole the moment it comes out of the water. The claws and tail carry a dense white flesh that is sweeter than prawn and finer than lobster, and because it is frozen straight away none of that sweetness is lost. Split the tail along the back and the shell lifts off in one piece. Serve them simply — split, buttered and grilled — or peel the tails for a risotto where the heads go in first for stock.
