Scampi, or Kōura Rangi, are a rare delicacy and highly sought after, which is hardly surprising as they’re completely delicious.
A smaller member of the clawed lobster family, Scampi burrow into the New Zealand seafloor, down 200 to 800 metres from the surface. Our Scampi are caught primarily off the East Coast of New Zealand, and are available year round.
Not to be confused with prawns or shrimp, Scampi are readily recognised by their pink- and orange-banded shell. Their white, meaty flesh is sweet and delicate tasting, with a medium to firm texture.
Scampi Tails are lovely baked, grilled on the barbeque, marinated, or served raw as sashimi.
Order your Scampi Tails from Sanford and Sons for the freshest fish and seafood delivered from the dock to your door, or browse our range to find the perfect seafood for your dish. See our recipes for easy and delicious meal inspiration.
