About Giant river prawn
Giant river prawn is a large freshwater prawn eaten as seafood. It is sold whole or as prepared parts such as tail meat, and is commonly cooked by grilling, frying, steaming or incorporation into other dishes. The name can be used commercially for prawns of varying size and origin, so it does not by itself specify a harvest source or exact product form.
The raw shell is usually grey-green to bluish, and the flesh becomes opaque and pale when cooked. Its texture is firm and succulent, with a mild, sweet seafood flavour. Whole prawns include shell and other inedible parts, whereas peeled tail meat is a different edible form for describing and comparing.
