I think it's maybe been said already, but if we cannot freeze prawn tails in tubs, it means that locals only have access to prawns during the roughly 40-day season. Many, many prawn buyers, back when I was fishing, would buy 40 or 50 pounds frozen in tubs at a time to last them throughout the year, and that was part of their food plans. Removing the ability for people to do that, whether in busy communities or in remote communities where they really rely on that provision of food just makes absolutely no sense.
