- Quick & Convenient: Fits into fast casual dining with quick prep and service.
Cons:
- Not Vegan or Vegetarian: Made with prawns, so not suitable for plant-based eaters.
- Contains Gluten: Panko crumbs and flour mean it’s not naturally gluten-free.

- Allergen Risk: Contains shellfish, which is a common allergen.
- Best Eaten Fresh: Can lose its crispiness and become soggy if not served right away.
