Frozen Langoustine, 1kg 4/7

Frozen Langoustine Large 1kg is 1kg of large frozen langoustine at 4 to 7 pieces per kilo — the most substantial and impressive size of langoustine, ideal for grilling whole, serving as an impressive starter or bisque preparation. At 4 to 7 per kilo these are truly large and dramatic specimens. As a result, each langoustine provides a generous individual serving and presents beautifully split on the grill. Furthermore, langoustine from Scottish and Norwegian waters are widely regarded as among the finest crustaceans in the world. In particular, the sweet, delicate flesh of langoustine is closer to lobster than to prawn in flavour and character.

About Frozen Langoustine Large 1kg

We source our prawns and langoustine from specialist suppliers across the Atlantic, Mediterranean and Pacific. In particular, we select every variety for its provenance, flavour profile and the quality standards of the fishery or farm. As a result, our prawn range spans everything from everyday wild Atlantic prawns to some of the rarest and most celebrated shellfish in the world. Furthermore, prawn and langoustine quality varies enormously by species, origin and handling. However, the difference between correctly handled premium shellfish and a poorly sourced alternative is immediately apparent in the eating. In particular, species like Carabineros, Gambero Rosso and Obsiblue are in a completely different class from commodity prawns. Additionally, we work with suppliers who share our insistence on correct cold chain from catch to delivery. That commitment to genuine quality drives every sourcing decision we make. That is why this product from The Artisan Food Company consistently impresses even the most discerning cooks.

Why Choose Frozen Langoustine Large 1kg From Us

Cooking prawns and langoustine well requires very little technique but a clear understanding of heat and timing. In contrast to meat cookery, prawns need only seconds over high heat. As a result, the single most important rule is never to overcook. Furthermore, a premium prawn like Carabineros or Gambero Rosso needs nothing more than a hot pan, good olive oil and sea salt. However, flavour-forward varieties like Argentinian Red also suit raw preparations where their sweetness shines. In particular, langoustine deserve the gentlest possible treatment – a brief split and grill or a few minutes in a court bouillon. Moreover, defrosting correctly matters as much as cooking correctly. Additionally, always defrost premium shellfish overnight in the fridge rather than under running water, which leaches flavour. That patience in defrosting pays immediate dividends in the eating.

How to Cook Frozen Langoustine Large 1kg

To get the very best from it:

• Defrost overnight in the fridge and handle gently as the shells are more delicate than prawn.
• Split in half lengthways and grill flesh-side down for 2 to 3 minutes with good butter and garlic.
• Furthermore, frozen langoustine large 1kg suits making a classic bisque — roast the shells with aromatics, add cream and white wine and blend.
• Additionally, boil briefly in court bouillon for 3 minutes and serve whole with garlic mayonnaise for the simplest and most satisfying preparation.

Perfect Pairings

This product pairs beautifully with:

• Good butter, garlic and parsley for a simple grill
• Cream, white wine and tarragon for a langoustine bisque
• Garlic mayonnaise or a sharp aioli alongside

Storage: Keep frozen and defrost in the fridge overnight before use. Furthermore, once defrosted use within 24 hours and do not refreeze. However, for the finest result always defrost slowly in the fridge rather than under running water, which draws out flavour. Delivered frozen and ready to defrost and cook.

However you cook it, Frozen Langoustine Large 1kg brings a flavour and quality that only carefully sourced shellfish can deliver. Moreover, the finest prawns and langoustine always reward the simplest preparations.
