    Default scampi in wellington

    Does anyone know where to find scampi (breaded) in the wellington / hutt valley area ? I understand NZ does actually fish alot of it and sends it to the US and japanise markets, but it's my favorite food from the uk but i'm really struggling to find any in the fishmongers i know of.

    I'm meaning to buy frozen or such to cook at home by the way. Used to get it from asda in the uk.

    Any ideas ?

    edit: it may be that scampi here isn't the same as that referred to by the same name in the uk. Not sure.

    Have to admit that in two years I have not seen scampi...it is one of my favorites too. You will be able to make mock scampi as you can get hold of monkfish, and there are prawns aplenty, but not scampi....

    I think scampi may be referred to as langostine here??

    You've brought back memories of Scampi in a basket in the UK...yumm. Never seen it on a menu down here in Wgtn. That's nt to say it doesn't exist .... Found this: http://www.markfoods.com/?page=produ...ed&type=scampi

    Sealord reps, a product idea.....breadcrumb those little suckers. Even better, do it with Crayfish...

    Have you tried all the British shops in Wellington already? Although both in Auckland, at least the British Corner Shop and Union Jack's sell imported frozen breaded scampi, so was thinking some of the Wellington shops might too.
