Trick learned from CS pop off the heads put them in the large heavier zipper lock freezer bags fill full of water squeeze out the air zip and freeze never any risk of frezer burn come out fresh as the day they were caught.

I put mine on skewers and marinate with Kraft Golden Italian dressing then a minute on each side on the BBQ []

We often freeze them in the ocean salt water.

All I do is take off the heads. Rince the tails in salt water in a big tupper ware container. Dump the salt water and silt out of the container. While the prawns are still wet with salt water, put them into a heavy plastic bag(I use a salmon derby fish bag because it's long and skiny and holds lots) The prawns are patted down into a single layer,(use a cookie sheet if you want) the bag folded over, exess air removed and into the freezer they go. The next day or when frozen solid simple brake them apart into singles and store in big zip lock freezer bags.(air removed) If you want 13 prawns you take out 13 prawns. (just like store bought.) It works great. The longest any have hung around my place frozen was probably two months or so. They Tasted looked and felt like fresh prawns. Im pretty quike out of the trap into the freezer though. Have a freezer on the dock, think that's the trick.

P.S. Pull your traps at the end of the day, perferably one hour after tide change.

Sorry L.C. missed the shelled part before posting. Too much work for me


I'm setting my priorities. I'm making time for fishing.

The head is actually part best part but has to be eaten fresh.

I buy deli freezer containers from Amazon, fill the container with the prawn tails and clean ocean water, keep in my cooler on ice until I get home then right in the freezer. To me they taste better than freshly cooked. They last a year easily in the freezer but I eat them well before then.

I’m cheap and just use big yogurt containers that we save. I don’t know about tasting better after a freeze, but they’re definitely easier to peel after being frozen and thawed.

Nothing wrong with reusing a Plastic container. Beats a one use and then in the garbage or recycling.
