Some feedback from our customers…

Prawnfresh+ substantially improves the appearance of fresh shell-on shrimp without any of the downside effects commonly found with Metabisulphite.

I predict Prawnfresh+ will become a game changer for the domestic, Gulf Shrimp industry. It dramatically reduces black spot, improves the appearance and extends retail shelf life for fresh, shell-on shrimp up to 7 days when the shrimp is properly refrigerated.

Fishermen fish for dollars, not shrimp, and Prawnfresh Plus offers real saving for boat captains..

We are really pleased with the performance of Prawnfresh Plus, which gives better results than other treatments we have previously used, it enables the prawns to hold their natural colour for longer. Our processing operatives and fishing crews also like the product because it is safe to use compared with traditional treatments. All the boats that land into Rockabill Shellfish are now using Prawnfresh”.

Alan Price, Fish/Shellfish Buyer, Rockabill Shellfish Ireland

We are continuously looking at new ways to improve the quality of our product.  When we came across Prawnfresh Plus for the first time, we were truly impressed at the results found.

We have done various trials and have really found Prawnfresh Plus to add value to some of our prawn (Penaeus vannamei) products. We are currently processing cooked and raw prawn and have done trials on both. 

We found that the Prawnfresh increased the shelf life of the raw prawns (which we soak and pack raw for the retailer) by about 30%. Upon cooking the product, we also noticed that the tails have not turned black due to oxidation (Melanosis). We are currently using Prawnfresh Plus for this product.

All our employees used to have general breathing problems including irritated eyes and nose.This is no longer an issue after changing to PrawnFresh™. Tests have shown that prawns treated with PrawnFresh™ stays nicer in colour, texture and odour, longer than raw material treated with sodium metabisulphite. We also feel PrawnFresh™ is a healthier additive for the consumer.

Donald Kristensen, Managing Director, ROYAL FISH DENMARK A/S

PrawnFresh™ allows the sweet natural flavour of Crystal Bay Prawns to come through.The environmental approach of Xyrex® and the natural ingredients in PrawnFresh™ is a perfect fit with our chemical free natural Crystal Bay Prawns grown in the pristine waters of Australia. It also ensures that we avoid sulphur allergy issues in our customers and processing staff. It means we can offer our customers a product which is safer, healthier and more natural. It also overcomes the problem we find with metabisulphite, which results in erosion of the shell.

Dr. Trevor Anderson, General Manager, SEAFARM

We switched to Prawnfresh so as to ensure that our valued employees are able to work in a comfortable and safe environment, without encountering any breathing difficulties. We have also found that this alternative treatment gives a better result to the end product in terms of appearance and quality compared with sodium metabisulphite.

Graeme Sutherland, Director, Whitelink Seafoods, Fraserburgh

Since using Prawnfresh our reject rate has gone down from 10% to 3% giving us a 7% increase in yield. This equates to an increase in box price of approximately £3-4. Our prawn processor, Fraserburgh Seafoods, has also changed to Prawnfresh.

Peter Willox, Skipper, Bountiful BF79

Prawnfresh has already been used with great success by Scottish skippers and processors and we are now seeing an upswing in interest in the treatment throughout Ireland especially as demand grows across Europe for a sulphite free product.

Malachy Murrin, Irish Prawnfresh distributor Swannet-Gundry, Killybegs

I considered other products including Meta but when I landed my catch after using Prawnfresh, the comments from buyers about their quality and appearance made all the difference to me and was reflected both in the price and virtually zero rejects

Skipper McRobbie, Skipper, Karenann II FR559

I decided to try Prawnfresh instead of continuing with metabisulphite in early 2010. The difference in quality is really there to be seen. It’s chalk and cheese. Every one of the three buyers I supply has said they are over the moon with the quality of my prawns and Prawnfresh is far safer and easier to use too.

Trevor Summers, Skipper, Demares PD959

Daily landings in smaller quantities make it extremely important to us that prawns are handled carefully and correctly to maintain quality prior to delivery. Using Prawnfresh is an important factor in helping us deliver a premium product. It has proven to be of great benefit to us and our customers.

Ronan Forde, Director, Erin Isle Seafood, Ring, Co. Waterford.

Since switching to Prawnfresh we have noticed a significant difference in the overall quality of our prawns and some of our customers now insist upon Prawnfresh as it significantly increases the shelf life and taste above that of cheaper alternatives we wave tried.
