Silky, Rich, Sweet, Tender
Very delicate. Can be over cooked without consistent heat and monitoring. The Culinary aspect of Scampi is its own reward when cared for in this manner. The meat of a lobsterette is extremely delicate, and has the complex sweetness found in New Zealand Shellfish. Poach, Saute, Roast, Blanch.
Sweet, Buttery, Creamy
The Sea Tiger has long been a staple food source for Asia. Regarded as a gorgeous, yet monstrous Saltwater Prawn, the Sea Tiger begins the bite with a snap. The subsequent chew offers a creamy and buttery texture that is full of sweetness. The Sea Tiger lends itself to many versatile applications. The usage is as vast as the culinary imagination. Soldier packing allows the Prawn to retain its structural integrity. Attached legs and antennae show that the Sea Tiger have been handled with the utmost care. This translates to a brilliant plate presentation. Broil, Poach, Saute, Grill, Ama Ebi.
Flavorful, Creamy, Rich
Shad Roe is a springtime delicacy. The Shad run into the channels of Eastern rivers from the Atlantic to spawn. During this "once-a-year" opportunity, the American Shad is caught and filleted for the Roe. Many seafood lovers are drawn to this special occasion. Shad Roe are high in Fat and therefore remain creamy after cooking. They have a delicate flavor that typically transports other ingredients to the palate.
