The Prawns from Palamós is a crustacean of the species Aristeus antennatus. The exactly same crustacean is also fished in the mediterranean Spanish towns of Denia and Garrucha, and Huelva.[1] It presents a very intense red color and it is valued for its fine, firm and tasty meat. It is fished with the technique of bottom trawling and in summer they are usually found more exemplaries and bigger.[2]
