Peak season
Prawns
Prawns peak from June to August. During the summer, native king prawns and tiger prawns are at their most abundant. Most prawns available in the UK are either cold-water varieties from the North Atlantic or warm-water varieties farmed in Southeast Asia or South America. To ensure sustainability, look for organic certifications or closed-loop farming systems that avoid the destruction of coastal mangrove forests. Wild-caught options are best when sourced from fisheries using creels or traps to minimize seabed damage.
