Chip Shop Scampi

What is it?

Wholetail langoustine tails sit in a chip shop-style breadcrumb coating, usually sold frozen and cooked from chilled or straight from the freezer, depending on the pack instructions. The coating is fine and breaded rather than battered, so it bakes up with a dry, crisp surface instead of the thicker shell you’d get on fish in a fryer. Compared with other Young’s seafood items, this sits in the scampi range rather than the battered fish line. It’s made for oven baking or frying, and the portion format is set up as a simple fish-and-chips side, often served with chips, peas, and tartare sauce.
