'ITS GOOD TO BE THE KING'
Research indicates seafood contains between 10-100 times higher levels of Omegas 3's than beef, lamb, and chicken. King prawns are naturally high in Omega 3's and polyunsaturated fatty acids, niacin, iron, and zinc, which are proven to assist in brain function, healthy skin, and metabolism. Prawns are naturally high in protein, and are a great low calorie snack or meal option containing less fat and more protein than beef, chicken, pork and lamb!
Australian Eastern king prawns are rich in flavour with a low to medium oiliness, moist flesh, and medium texture. Prawns are delicious steamed, poached, deep-fried, stir fried, grilled, or barbecued. Australian king prawns maintain their texture when cooked in curries or soups. Prawns can be marinated and cooked with the shell off or marinated and cooked with the shell on to maximise flavour.

SUSTAINABILITY
We love what we do, and we have a deep respect for the ocean that provides our livelihood and lifestyles. As fishers we understand the importance of preserving our marine environment and the broader ecosystem for generations to come. Our connection to the sea is more than just professional; its personal.
​
The F.V Kelana operates under both federal and statewide regulations to ensure ecological impacts are minimised and promotes sustainability.
​
Our commitment to sustainable fishing practices is demonstrated through our use of Turtle Excluder Devices (TEDs) and Bycatch Reduction Devices (BRDs) on all our trawler gear. Turtle Excluder Devices are specifically designed to protect larger ocean marine life. Bycatch Reduction Devices play a vital role in reducing the capture of any non-target species, BRDs are designed to allow any unintended catch to escape, thereby reducing the ecological footprint of our fishing activities. This not only supports the sustainability of marine ecosystems but also helps maintain the quality and selectivity of our catch.
