The Mantis Prawn Gastronomic Festival
The Mantis Prawn Gastronomic Festival

Zoom: 15
Each year the four coastal towns of the Terres de l’Ebre, -- Les Cases d’Alcanar, La Ràpita, L’Ampolla and L’Ametlla de Mar -- jointly organise the Mantis Prawn Gastronomic Festival. It is designed to payhomage to this crustacean, also known as the “poor man’s prawn”. It is a less-known but high-quality crustacean, similar to the prawn, but with a less attractive appearance and a lower price. The mantis prawncan be fried, grilled or included as an ingredient in soupsand rice and vegetable dishes.
