on the packet it will say whether it is reformed, some of it is from minced lobster tail.
nickmo (Thu 16:43 16/Aug/07) Whole tail scampi is the full flesh of a Norway lobster. It has to be this to be called a scampi -(actually the plural of a scampo - comes from Italian in case you ever wondered...) But they are not caught in Norway and they are not lobsters (actually a specific variety of crustacean....)
A Dublin Bay Prawn is the same under a different name. In France, the same is a langoustine just to confuse everyone.
In the US, scampi dishes are made with shrimps.....
Shaped / minced and reformed white fish meat is often called scampi - monkfish was used for this in the past but now has its own place as a product when before it had no other value. Reformed scampi must be labelled as such under current labelling legislation.
Hope that helps. nice bit of lemon with it. :0
