Exceptional Red Alistado Prawns now available from Mevalco
Now available from Mevalco (the home of exceptional Spanish ingredients) comes stunning Red Alistado Prawns – offering chefs quality, provenance and value in a challenging seafood market that is seeing costs continue to rise.
Sourced from the cold, pristine waters of the South-West Atlantic, Red Alistado Prawns are slow growing, benefiting from ideal natural conditions that produce firm, juicy flesh with a delicate, slightly sweet flavour often compared to lobster. Their vivid red colour, elongated body and distinctive rostrum make them instantly recognisable as a premium shellfish, equally suited to refined seafood dishes or simple, ingredient-led preparations.
What sets these prawns apart is not only their origin, but the expertise behind their sourcing and processing. They are carefully selected by artisanal partners to Mevalco who have more than a century of experience in seafood. Generations of knowledge are combined with advanced processing technology, including IFS Food-certified systems and ultrasonic processing, to optimise freshness, texture and shelf life – ensuring every prawn reaches the kitchen in peak condition.
Highly regarded by leading chefs and high-end kitchens across Spain, Red Alistado Prawns offer reliability as well as quality. Their consistent size, clean flavour profile and excellent performance in service make them a practical choice at a time when chefs are seeking premium ingredients that justify their place on the menu.
David Menendez, Managing Director at Mevalco, comments: “Chefs are telling us that maintaining seafood quality has never been more challenging. Our role is to support them with products that combine provenance, consistency and value. Red Alistado Prawns are a perfect example – exceptional raw material, handled with care and expertise, and priced in a way that allows chefs to keep premium seafood firmly on the menu.”
Available frozen in 1kg boxes (40–45 pieces per kilo), Red Alistado prawns provide flexibility for professional kitchens while delivering a true taste of the ocean – a product shaped by tradition, expertise and a responsible approach to sourcing.
