Paul and Muriel catch the sweetest, firmest prawns on the West Coast. "We catch them by trap so we don't drag on the ocean floor" said Muriel," and we freeze them within minutes of being caught, so they are really fresh. We freeze them in seawater to protect the flavour of the prawns. There are no chemicals or preservatives added."

We married our favourite flavours in unique varieties of vinegars and artisan oils."
