Ask around, more often than not the mention of a Prawn Cocksnail will be greeted with a cheeky smile and a glint in the eye.

With its pleasingly pink shell, lettuce-green body and tasty tangy trail, it’s a Christmas Creature that always conjures up excitement. But much like a warm-up act at a comedy show the Prawn Cocksnail soon gets forgotten when a cooler, much bigger Christmas Creature enters the room.
