Prawnography: A Candid Guide to the Greater Enjoyment of Prawns and Shrimps

Product Information

There are some wonderful independent producers all around us - Kent is not called The Garden of England for nothing."

I really want to bring a cool, funky burger bar to the city and maybe a hip Mexican. Those new brands are currently in development, but it won’t be long before we’ll be able to reveal them.”Think po boys, prawn toast to lobster rolls, with dirty sides and light vegan based desserts,” she explained. What to expect: Award winning local market supporting local traders, every Saturday 10am-2pm. It’s worth a trip to Aladdin’s Cave reclamation centre around the corner too. Mr Thomlinson operated a number of successful street food brands in London, such as Prawnography, Moister Oyster Co and FryHard. From an unheard and new name, I was quite pleasantly surprised at the flavours. You could tell that the noodles have absorbed some of that rich-tasting prawn broth with umami.

What to expect: A farmer’s market, street food and some of the best coffee in London on one of the coolest streets. Despite its proximity to town, the footfall could be affected by the on-going road works, and that people may just miss coming to this part of Thomson Road. A humble eatery just waiting to be discovered at this part of Novena. Hope that the owners can keep up with their passion and quality

I was delighted when he agreed to bring his Merman concept to The Workers League for a series of pop-ups at the end of 2022. The prawns were also peeled here and slightly larger with a good bite and fresh sweetness, and the scallops were equally large, slightly briny and plenty chewy. While the pork lard pieces were not as crispy as they looked, they were certainly fatty (not to mention, large) and rather enjoyable. The peeled prawns were firm and sweet, but it was a little disheartening to only find two in the bowl. The slices of pork had more fat than meat, which would probably see mixed reactions from customers depending on their preferences. Breeding can take place any time from early summer to November. Thousands of eggs are fertilised externally and then carried by the female. After three to four months the eggs will hatch and swim as pelagic larvae before turning into the adult prawns and living for the rest of their life on the seabed. It is thought that the common prawn can live for a maximum of five or six years.

Being able to creatively input into the business again has helped me mentally cope with the stresses and strains Covid has put this industry under. I have to know that animals have been farmed naturally and ethically - and fruit and veg are sustainably produced with minimum intervention. What to expect: Everything! Probably the coolest street in London to walk down any day of the week but get there early on a Sunday for the market and you won’t miss out. And of course, that wok-hei (though could still have a tad more of that wok-heat to bring it to the next level).Secondly, they use the same prawn broth which is also used for their prawn mee soup to braise the noodles. This results in a gravy which is very flavourful. I usually eschew the sambal chilli when I eat Hokkien Mee, but theirs is perfectly blended to enhance the flavour of the noodles! 4.25/5 Jeremy and wife/chef Bao Er Mat Kemp, creative director of The Workers League, said: "I first bumped into Jim in Shoreditch at Prawnography and was mightily impressed not only by the food he was cooking, but also that he was the only one cooking crustacea in a sea of burgers and hotdogs. "There’s not anything else in Whitstable that does anything like this..." What to expect: Gourmet sandwiches and street food interspersed with market clothes stalls and hipster coffee shops. I’m confident our current plan for reopening the three restaurants in stages is the best economic decision for the company.” Muted Gelato – NEW Lavender Street Gelato Cafe Opens Till 12AM Everyday, Has Earl Grey Sakura And Mojito Flavour
