Petite, Sweet, Buttery
These sweet and buttery shrimp hold up wonderfully to many culinary applications. From quick, high-heat methods to softer poaching and braising. The Laughing Bird Shrimp are "Bay" sized at 61/70 count and are distributed peeled in an 8 lb gallon. That's a labor buster! Ready to cook, and perfectly gradedĀ make Laughing Bird one of the most easy to useĀ and elevated shrimp on the market.
Subtle, Complex Flavor
They have a great crunch with a buttery finish. They will require "Love" in preparation. A light poach before grilling, roasting, or steaming will ensure flakiness and a buttery finish. These are the perfect species for Ceviche, as they have less oils than a Northern species. The higher oils can cloud the liquids. Poach, Grill, Steam, Ceviche.
Light, Sweet, Flakey
The Flame Snapper inhabit the rocky deep off the coast of Australia. They are known to live up to 1300 feet below the surface. The cold depths of their range produce a clean and moist protein that rivals any Snapper in their sweet and rich profile. Typically a larger Snapper, the Flame Snapper produces a very versatile fillet. The thickness allows perfect portioning and a remarkable plate presentation. The Flame Snapper also provides a beautiful deep pink to red skin that crisps wonderfully. The skeleton offers a clean yet rich ingredient for stocks, consommes, and fumets.
