CHEFS at Southampton's Langleys Bistro are wowing diners with their new King Kong king prawns.

The Giant Madagascan Black Tiger Prawns dwarf the conventional king prawn and are thought to be unique to Langleys among Southampton restaurants.

"We asked our fish supplier M & J Seafoods of Wimborne to come up with something a little different and I believe they have excelled themselves.

"Big can certainly be beautiful and these giant prawns have proved very popular with our diners and not only look fantastic but taste absolutely delicious," said Ian Bentall, owner of the Bedford Place bistro.
