Nice ditchman 👌 What's the white accompaniment ? Mayo..? You can't go wrong with Young's Scampi..! PS I tried a couple of the Scampi that the Missus got me. I threw them in the air fryer which some fish fingers I was making for the kids. They have a batter rather than a breadcrumb and did not brown so well, but were really good with nice big chunks of DBP's/Lango's...! I will deep fry them the next time. Incidentally how did you cook yours..? Deep fried,airfryer or oven..? 7 hours ago, JohnfromUK said: Looks like the eco mob are after your dream; https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-12622175/Avoid-scampi-high-environmental-price-tag-charity-urges-shoppers.html Well that explains why my local Lidl and Aldi have discontinued them. Ocean-Sea was the brand and they were every bit as good as Young's. Edited October 13, 2023 by SuperGoose75 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I make a homemade double smash burger with a sauce made from mayo,dijon mustard,hot sauce and the pickling juice from jarred gherkins. Just had the rest of the bag of Scampi there..! Deep fried in dripping and probably the best Scampi I've ever eaten. At a fiver a bag it seems expensive, but I counted 20 pieces and the two I done in the air fryer the other evening makes it 22 pieces with big chunks of Scampi. Superior Scampi indeed.
