Prawn dish

Most of us love prawns, and our supermarkets stock a plethora of sizes and qualities from the Far East.

However, nothing compares with our

Dublin Bay prawns, which are the creme de la creme of the crustacean world, with a flavour and texture that is totally distinctive. East Cork is a great place for them, as is Ardmore in west

Waterford. There, at the fabulous White

Horses restaurant, Dublin Bay prawns are baked sitting in the recesses of

escargot dishes, pictured right, and each little succulent sucker has his own garlic-butter bath — perfect for dunking with some crispy bread. See facebook.com/white-horses-restaurant
