<p>From our local waters comes one of the true delicacies of the sea &ndash; spot prawns (Pandalus platyceros). In recent years this delicacy was harvested and over 90 percent was shipped overseas (primarily Japan). The spot prawn is the largest of 7 species that are fished in our waters and can exceed 23 cm (9 inches) in length. These prawns are identified by the reddish brown shell with white horizontal lines and two white spots on the first and fifth shell segments. The fishery is rated as sustainable and continually monitored and managed in a responsible way.</p>
