Fresh British Prawns sustainably produced
in Lincolnshire

We know many of our customers have been waiting patiently for our fabulous FloGro Fresh King Prawns to become available again, so we are excited to share our plans for the future.

Flo-Gro Fresh is a company that will change how prawns are grown and sold in the UK and elsewhere and in so doing build a pathway to producing a carbon neutral prawn with the most sustainable energy systems available.

We are laying the foundations for the future of a sustainable British prawn industry.

Time to start building.

A site has been negotiated in South Lincolnshire and planning permission applied for. When permission is granted and funding in place it is hoped to start building in the second quarter of 2023 with prawns available to market during 2024. It will be the UK’s first industrial-scale Recirculating Aquaculture System (RAS) prawn farm with an initial production unit for 250T plus a hatchery and packing area. The site will be capable of growing to 2500 T p.a. as demand builds. To make this happen FGS has assembled a team of world-class specialists to deliver the company’s plans.

Sustainable global food production is one of the biggest challenges facing governments and industries today.

Approximately 3bn people in the world rely on wild-caught and farmed seafood as a primary source of protein.

$401bn

Fish (inc. seafood) is one of the most traded commodities on the planet, valued at over $400bn annually.

90%

Up to 90% of global fish stocks are now considered ‘fully fished’ or ‘over-exploited’.

Renewable Energy.

Powered by renewable energy and leveraging innovative water treatment solutions to recycle water, heat and salt and lower operational costs significantly, Flo-Gro is a unique closed-loop recirculating aquaculture system (RAS) that can be situated anywhere inland to produce high-quality, fresh, warm saltwater prawns local to point of consumption – 24 hours from harvest to plate.

Our History.

Flo-Gro was established to capitalise on the growing appetite for British- produced seafood, immediately winning a £45,000 Innovate UK grant to run feasibility trials for a closed-loop recycling aquaculture system (RAS) aimed at producing high quality prawns.

For 5 years, Flo-Gro has been operating an R&D prawn farm in Lincolnshire working with recycling aquaculture system experts, importing larvae from abroad.

During this period, we have identified optimal shrimp husbandry through careful application and integration of larval breeding with specific grow out feed ‘recipes’, along with robust RAS operation and bio-security protocols.

Our prawns led to rave reviews from top restaurateurs and premium food retailers, whilst building a D2C audience of 2,500 individuals to date on the back of zero marketing, all of whom were willing to pay a significant premium per kilogram for locally grown, fresh, high-quality king prawns.

After 5 years of R&D we are now ready to launch at large scale.

Our R&D farm has been invaluable in building brand awareness and proving the demand for locally produced prawns at a premium price.

Critically, we have accumulated an unprecedented wealth of knowledge around feed, animal behaviour, optimal growing environment and conditions to maximise yield and profitability.

Now, we are ready to scale and are set to launch the UK’s first industrial scale sustainable, minimal-carbon, zero-waste RAS prawn farm that will eventually be capable of producing in excess of 2,500 tonnes per annum.

A quick note of congratulations on a fabulous product. I barbecued some of your wonderful prawns last night and was blown away by their sweet taste and smooth texture. Absolutely delicious!

We had some of our prawns on Wednesday evening with garlic, butter and a touch of chilli. They were awesome. THE best prawns we`ve ever had. Thank you!

I took delivery of a kilo of your prawns yesterday. First, they were packaged beautifully and cold despite the warm weather. Second, I had some for dinner last night and they were superb! The best seafood I`ve ever had.

I received my order yesterday. I wanted to say how pleased I am. Some of the prawns were immediately cooked, the rest frozen. They were delicious. I would totally recommend your produce.

We have just had a most delicious supper cooking with Flogro prawns which we all deemed to be absolutely delicious and pretty special...tasty, meaty and juicy!
