This sure is a beauty boys, I am sure its actually a "penaius monodon"", or however its spelt. Known more as a leader prawn by fishermen.
We used to get a lot up in the gulf of carpentaria.
I was working in Port hedland in the dredging once and on night shift we came across a huge school of them right up a shallow creek in the harbour. I've never ever heard of them so far south, that one wont be on his own, so hop you keep the spot a secret as they congregate.
Thanks for the comment, This is the largest tiger prawn I have ever seen in the Swan River but we do see smaller ones from time to time. Would love to come across a school of these as they go about 4 to the kilo!!
A meal on its own...yum!

wmd222HxC 2 years ago
Nope. I'm serious. I eat those on an almost daily basis. I own a seafood wholesale. We get them wild caught and fresh; not the farm bullshit.
deathmetalwho 2 years ago
I have gotten ones that are up to 17-18 inches.

Leader Prawn as stated before, not a Tiger.
Pretty good Prawn none the less, I have a photo of one (courtesy...West newspaper) weighing in at 1kg caught in the Swan.
