Buying ethically sourced/raised prawns can be tricky… unless you shop at Codfathers.
Rest assured that all of the prawns in our store have come from a natural environment without feed, antibiotics or disruption/destruction of local mangrove systems. Whether they harvested in the wild or ranched among live mangroves, feeding on wild plankton (silviculture) you can be sure that they’re sustainable, fairly traded and absolutely delicious!
Try our wild blue prawns from Baja which taste amazing with a brown butter sauce! Fished by small panga boats and strictly monitored, these are some of our favourites. And if the ethics of it all aren’t enough, don’t forget: wild prawns have a far more superior flavor to unsustainable farmed variety! Plus, contributing to a reliable income for fishers in coastal communities it is a win/win/win as far as we are concerned.
To make a brown butter sauce you clarify the butter by heating and the. straining off the solids (milk fat) with a fine sieve (chinoise) then heat the remaining butter until it turns brown and smells deliciously nutty. Remove from the heat (ideally cool on a pan of icy water).
Just finish with a squeeze of lemon and fresh herbs for a cheffy touch!
We’re here today till 6pm. See you soon.
