Young's Wholetail Scampi with a Hint of Lemon Reviews
Product Type: Young's Meat / Fish
Newest Review: ... I don't know about "jumbo", but if it's a whole tail, you're getting something far nicer than normal scampi usually ... more
... is.
Unfortunately they haven't de-veined the scampi! Not only is the portion size small, but I bit into what promised to be a lovely langoustine tail only to reveal the little black intestinal vein of the scampi - i.e. its store of poo. Do I want to eat poo? No. If they fix this, the hint of lemon is a great idea.
Considering that Young's credit themselves on the back of the packet with inventing scampi in the first place, this is disappointing. I bet the chef they first sent it to actually de-veined them. It...more

This past week I've been unable to cook as much as I normally like to as I've not only had a visitor, but also I've had my living room decorated and that's a fair amount of work in itself. I have to admit that I rarely use convenience foods, preferring to cook a meal from scratch, also my milk allergy makes it difficult to get prepared foods so when I did a Tesco shop yesterday I went to my favourites list and chose my normal foods, including some fish. While I was doing this the site brought up a special offer of Young's Jumbo Scampi with a hint of lemon. I nearly passed it by as I find fish in any sort of breadcrumbs or batter has some form of milk or lactose added. My Read the complete review

I love scampi in the pub but rarely remember to buy it for myself to cook at home. In Tesco last week I noticed Youngs Scampi was on special half price offer so I grabbed four bags to put in the freezer for the next time I wanted scampi. It wasn't until I got home that I realised that in my greedy hurry to save money I'd actually picked up a new Youngs product that I hadn't seen before, scampi flavoured with a hint of lemon. I worried for three days that I'd wasted £10 on something I wouldn't like so in the end decided to have scampi with salad to put myself out of my misery. It's easy to cook in a pre heated oven for about 20 minutes, do grease your baking ... Read the complete review

My nan bought these on offer in Tesco. They were reduced from £4.99 to £2.49. I love scampi so we have just had these for tea. I was so impressed I have decided to review the. The bag is 240g in size and that served three of us. We had between 6 and 8 pieces each and as the scampi pieces were large that was enough. We had them with chips and salad. The suggested serving size is half the bag. 100g of this product will give you 202kcal, 9.6g of protein, 22.4g of carbohydrates of which 2.9g are sugars, 9.1g of fat of which 1.3g are saturates, 1.2g of fibre and 0.54g of sodium. Young's have been selling fish for over 200 years. They have ... Read the complete review
