What is the best way to store the cooked BayPrawns?   

The best way to store cooked Bay Prawns is to keep them refrigerated at or below 4°C in an airtight container to maintain freshness. If you don’t plan to consume them within 2-3 days, freezing is recommended. Place the prawns in a sealed freezer-safe bag or container, ensuring no air remains. Proper storage prevents spoilage and retains flavor, making them safe to enjoy later when thawed and served appropriately.

What is a family pack, and how is it different from buying individual seafood items?

A family pack is a curated collection of seafood and accompaniments designed for convenience, variety, and value. Unlike buying individual seafood items, family packs often include a mix of good seafood in Gold Coast, such as sushi platters, fillets, sauces, lemons, and specialty items like bugs, tailored for family meals or gatherings.

They save time by providing pre-selected combinations and may include extras like marinades or garnishes. Family packs are ideal for those looking to prepare complete meals without the hassle of sourcing each item separately. You can save costs compared to purchasing items individually.
