I've heard of this a while back.. I'd say using local products is better anyway for our local economy and for our environment. In saying that, people have been using imported prawns for yonks now.. who knows really.

I remember when i was running restaurants, we'd use vanamei prawns from vietnam and thailand. Up until there was a disease a few years ago. Havent used it ever since.
Think local, use local baits.

With green local prawn as low as $12 a Kg here off the boats, I would think local prawn would be cheaper.

I'm pretty sure the banana prawns you buy whole from the deli section are Australian. In any case they should be able to tell you where they're from if you ask.

Good to know. I'd hate to think what would happen to my catch rate if I had to stop using them.

My local safeway sometimes has prawns from overseas but they are always labeled I have previously bought them but I won't in future

I watched a doco once on how those little prawns from thailand get farmed.. made me sick.. couldn't believe how much chemical rubbish they put in the water
