Wild langoustine tails are prized for their sweet, delicate flavour and firm, meaty texture. With the heads and claws already removed, these raw frozen tails give you the most sought-after part of the langoustine with minimal preparation.
Langoustines are part of the lobster family and are valued for their naturally sweet flavour and tender flesh. These tails are ideal for quick cooking and work beautifully in pasta, risotto, seafood starters and elegant main courses.

How to Cook Langoustine Tails
Langoustine tails are best cooked quickly to preserve their tender texture and natural sweetness.
Pan-fry them in butter or olive oil, grill them briefly, poach gently or finish under a hot grill. Garlic, lemon, chilli, parsley and other fresh herbs all pair particularly well with langoustine meat.
Because the flesh cooks quickly, avoid prolonged cooking, which can make the texture firmer and less delicate.

Langoustine Tails for Pasta & Seafood Dishes
The sweet flavour of wild langoustines works especially well with pasta and lighter sauces.
Toss the cooked tails through linguine with garlic, lemon and herbs, or pair them with pesto for a fresh, aromatic dish. Our Langoustine Linguine with Shiso Pesto recipe combines peeled langoustines with linguine and a bright shiso pesto. Fine Food Specialist
They can also be used in risotto, seafood stews, bisque or plated starters where their flavour can remain the focus.
