Fresh, not previously frozen prawns, fishmongers Brixton market

[Steve.mabey]

Hello
As more and more seafood sellers in UK move towards dealing in 'previously-frozen' seafood, which fishmongers in the market are selling FRESH prawns and other crusaceans?
Thanks

Well this seams.... fishy if you forgive then pun.

47,000th post there.

Isn't it the case that it's generally better to buy frozen anyhow? given shipping and storage no fresh is ever going to be that fresh.

Have you thought about just asking them?

If I were you I’d get frozen. They’re less likely to be past their best, unless you are lucky enough to be very close to the fishery, and Brixton is not close enough.

If you want them for bait, I’d still get frozen. That way you can keep any you don’t use for your next trip
