Straight from a friend who owns trawlers in Hervey Bay, IQF'd on the boat in 5kg boxes, $60 a box for large kings, always tasty, just defrost in the fridge with heaps of rock salt.... Also get some very nice bugs and squid off him!
Bring on the xmas feasting! Prawns, Bugs, Crays, Red Emperor and hopefully a muddy or two, gotta love an QLD xmas lunch!! Does it get any better?

Trawlers at the Spit. Straight from the deep blue ocean the night before. Cooked on the way in. Can't get any better.
As for farmed prawns I am yet to have a good one.
Bought 10kgs today off the trawlers at Cabbage Tree Creek. Very lucky to find any for sale that were not preordered. Most of these guys have also bought prawns from the gulf frozen and are selling them here off their boats because the weather and the catch rates have been shit lately.
The boat I had them oreordered to buy is not arriving until the morning and I needed them today for the xmas party at work.
Jack.
Just got my 5kg box of large green head off kings - snap frozen on trawler this week. Lots of prawn based meals being prepared at our place over the next couple of weeks.
i just got home from getting my seafood for tomorrow and i had to line up 40 mtrs to get in the shop never before has this happened and they are open tomorrow xmas day too from 6am to miday.
Cheers,Hilly
