Boil don't fryWe are great lovers of langoustines in Brittany where we buy them fresh and cook on the day they were caught..
These large frozen ones are a very welcome find in the UK and are generally excellent.
For best results defrost then boil for 3-4 minutes (too long and they will break up). Serve cold with mayonnaise and a decent baguette. We simply cannot understand the recommendation to fry. They are not tiger prawns but small members of the lobster family and should be treated as such.
They are very good value for the size - they are an expensive product and difficult to find in the UK

Absolutely deliciousGreat product, large langoustines that are definitely ‘taste the difference’. Having had some experience cooking these in the past we part defrosted them and chopped the heads off, stripped the intestines before frying in butter. They are absolutely delicious and I would thoroughly recommend.

Simply delicious!The 10 frozen langoustines looked enormous in the package, a very good sized portion for two people. Whilst they were defrosting, I decided against cutting them in half and cooking them as my husband isn't a fan of eating shellfish directly from the shell as he says it's too much faffing about. Instead, I did the faffing before hand, cutting the langoustines in half and removing the intestinal thread and the shells. The latter I added to a pan of seasoned water, brought to a boil and simmered to make some stock to freeze for another day. The remaining shellfish looked a bit small to be fair, but they were in one piece and looked quite firm. They were added to a frying pan along with some garlic, butter herbs and salt and pepper and some cherry tomatoes on the vine which I had started to heat through earlier. They were gently fried on both sides until cooked, just a matter of a few minutes. They kept their shape and didn't fall apart when removed from the pan. To be fair, when served up they looked quite substantial, with five on each plate along with the juices from the pan. They were served with some homemade fries, tomatoes on the vine, a beetroot and radish and a mixed salad. They looked very appetising, and tastewise ... AMAZING!! Sweet, soft, absolutely delicious! We were delighted with them and despite the faff, I would definitely have these again. A really lovely meal.

Difficult to Eat but Worth itThese Sainsbury's Frozen Scottish Langoustines, Taste the Difference are really deliciious but, like all langoustines, it's a faff trying to get to the meat. Having said that, I would still buy them again.

Quite an effort to eat!These were delicious but the problem is, as others have noted, they require quite an effort (and very messy fingers) to actually retrieve what little flesh there is, so whilst I'm sure these are tasty for langoustines, I don't think I'd buy them again.

Tasty CrustaceansDelicious! These things are huge and don't shrivel away when you cook them as so much shellfish does.

They have a good flavour and are a very attractive centre point or addition to a dish.

They greatly improved my traditional Christmas prawn cocktail.

Sainsbury's Frozen Scottish Langoustines,This is a review for the Sainsbury's Frozen Scottish Langoustines, Taste the Difference. I had never tried langoustines before so this was new for us. I cooked this with a garlic butter and enjoyed the taste. I am not sure I would buy them again to eat at home because they were very expensive.

Fiddly but lovelyYes they’re fiddly and a bit of a faff, but so is lobster and crab. If I were to buy these again I’d make sure I’d purchased lobster picks to get the most of the meat from the langoustines. I cooked these on the hob with garlic, butter and parsley. Served them with fries and salad. It made a nice change for a Friday night dinner and I’d consider buying again but perhaps with steak to have as a surf n turf.

Worth the faff or not?Well I had never tried these before, although tasty (when you finally get them out of the shell) it’s a bit of a faff, & there’s not a lot of meat when everything is taken off. Worth a try though but not sure I wil buy again.
