Other frozen shellfish, lobster, crab, langoustine...
These raw langoustine (Nephrops norvegicus) carcasses include the head and legs, recognisable by their natural pinkish hue. They are caught in traps in the cold waters of the Netherlands and Denmark, a traditional method that guarantees a product of great freshness, without stress for the animal. As soon as they are caught, they are individually frozen using the IQF (Individually Quick Frozen) process, preserving their organoleptic qualities: subtle iodine flavour, firm texture and rich aroma.
Uses in professional cooking Ideal for preparing stocks, bisques, fumets or sauces, these carcasses concentrate all the flavours of the langoustine. Fry them with shallots, garlic, fresh herbs and a touch of white wine to create a powerful flavour base, perfect for a seafood risotto, a shellfish soup or a sauce to accompany fine fish. They offer an economical and tasty solution for enriching a wide range of catering dishes.
