The latter 150g=£1.79 (£1.19/100g)
So I'm buying the same weight & logic tells me I'm getting the same amount of meat in each packet, but why the price difference?
If anything surely the smaller prawns should cost more because more of them have to be peeled to get the same weight therefore more labour intensive?
Anyhow I'll continue buying smaller (cheaper prawns) and cramming them on my butties and enjoying them with plenty of salad cream to wash them down.

Don't quote me on this Less but I think that a king prawn is another name for a (languestine), don't think that is spelt right but never mind, anyway it is a form of small crayfish found in deep northern waters, where common prawns can be caught in inshore "coastal", waters therefore easier to trawl for.
