Fresh Mantis Shrimp with Roe

$89.00 Unit price $44.50/kg

Sold elsewhere as slipper lobster or squilla, this segmented crustacean is prized for the dense, sweet meat in its tail and the deep orange roe that runs the length of its back. Every piece in this pack carries roe.

The shell is sharp and ridged, so handle it with care. Once split, the tail lifts out in one piece and needs little more than a quick sear under high heat.

What Is In The Pack

  • Around 2 kg total
  • Whole, chilled, never frozen
  • Roe present in every piece

Storage

  • Keep refrigerated and cook within two days
  • Best eaten fresh; freezing softens the texture

How To Cook It

  • Split lengthwise and grill with garlic butter
  • Steamed briefly, served with a dipping sauce
  • Tail meat stir-fried with salt and chilli
