Scampi is in my Top 10 favourite meals. The nearest I've got to 1970s pub scampi is Whitby Seafoods Jumbo Scampi 220g 40% Crustaceans Tartare sauce is essential with scampi and wedge of lemon always nice, with the usual suspects accompaniments. The M&S is now on my list to try. Many thanks. Serious stuff this isn't it!😊

Great review Gareth. I liked the way you kept trying more and more pieces just to make sure you came to the right decision. You hit the nail on the head when you said that it depended upon peoples' budget. £5.50 is serious money for a 300g bag of frozen scampi, but it can be worth it if it hits the right spot and people can afford it.

If you buy a meal at a pub scampi chips and peas is about £8 near me, it usually looks like the size of the Aldi pieces and about 7/8 pieces on your plate usually enjoyable but not as good as scampi was in the 70s. I’ve had Whitby bay and thought they were ok and much better than most others I’ve tried. I’m going to try the M and S because they looked lovely and would do me for two decent sized meals. Thanks for your reviews they really help me clear the wheat from the chaff 😉🤣

It looks like you need reminding of the M&S food rules. 1, when you cut open the M&S bag you must extend your pinky finger to appreciate it's superiority over the lesser food. 2, never ever mix the cutlery with the lesser food, it encourages them to think they're above their station. 3, tweed jacket and waist coat is required clothing for taste testing M&S food. 😄 Seriously, £5.50 though! 😲

Hi Gareth, if you take into account the higher percentage of the actual Langoustine 57% v 40% and the difference of the 300g v 250g, then the M&S costs 3.2p per gram v Aldi at 2p per gram of Langoustine (rounded to the nearest figure), then the M&S doesn't seam quite so much more expensive. Of course Scampi is made up of both the fish and the coating, so you take's your pick.

yeah, the m&s is approximately twice the price. i make it £2.80 for the aldi vs £5.50 for the m&s, like for like (weight and meat). so what you are paying £2.70 extra for is the better quality coating and size. but you could get two bags of the aldi for the same price. is the m&s twice as good as the aldi? probably 50-75% better (bringing the price up to £4.20 to £4.90 for the aldi). therefore, you pay a little bit extra (12-30%) for the privilege of eating m&s luxury. not much in it at the end of the day. waitrose, and maybe m&s, are great value when you go there for bargains (not sure if m&s discount much). then you really get a good deal. then again, tesco's does good same day/end of date discounts. so, like for like, you are paying appx 12-30% extra for the premium experience as far as i can tell, which equates to 60p to £1.30 out of a £5.50 bag. Do you want to pay 60p to £1.30 as a surcharge (throw away cost) for that m&s deliciousness? £4.20 vs £5.50. Or £4.90 vs £5.50. Yes, that's why m&s and waitrose can survive on a lot of us going in for bits and bobs, not full blown shopping sprees

Add another 33p to the Aldi price = £2.32 for the full price difference based on weight. OK - I might go for the M&S for a treat or occasion - but why would I want to travel into Brighton (closest) - but really when plated up with a few chips and decent dipping sauce/s who would be able to tell the difference? - except you could buy another bag of the Aldi for another day for the same price!

I don't think I could justify spending over a fiver on the M&S scampi if the Aldi product is nearly as tasty for considerably less.

Most Thursdays I get half a pint of whole cooked prawns from the fish van that comes to our town. Those prawns are from Greenland.

I love Scampi, its not something I buy that often so I would go for the m&s version, its usually the youngs scampi I get and it is quite good.

Scampi is one of my fave quick 'Go To's' for tea. I just whizz up some mayonnaise with a bit of salad cream - Scampi & Dip. Can't beat it!

In most countries, especially Italy, scampi means the peeled tail of pretty much any kind of prawn but in the UK it refers to the meat of just one special prawn: the langoustine. Langoustine is a small lobster found in the colder waters of Scotland, Ireland and Norway. 👍M and S for us still remains the best re a lot of foods.. 👍

There is nothing special about langoustine it's only called that to increase the price as they are cought in creels while prawn tails are all cought by trawlers

@@HootMaRoot No surprises there. I've never been a fan of Scampi but my sister was and the fish processing plants re the different 'brands' available vary enormously. Some are to quote her words 'Of little substance'.. more batter et than Scampi.. 😉

@@arthurdanielles4784 I was a fisherman on a trawler and creel boat for 15 years+ and when I see the price of shellfish and fish in the shops I wonder where the massive price increase comes from as these small bags of scampi only have at most 5p worth of prawns in them if your lucky

After watching your M&S versus Aldi scampi video I bought M and S at £ 6.00 and Harry Ramsden from Iceland about £3.50 and although both were very tasty Harry Ramsdens for me won the day,so i hope you can try them one day. I really enjoy the channel and try things you recommend so keep it up .

M&S scampi is head shoulders and feather cap above all the competition. Nothing comes close. It maybe more expensive but the difference in taste and quality is night and day. You really do get what you don't pay for !
