The most expensive seafood hamper in the world

The UKs most prestigious mail order and internet fishmonger, The Fish Society, have just launched the most expensive seafood hamper in the world – At £2500, their `Caviar & Crustacean Atomic hamper` will feed a party of 30 seafood lovers at a cost of around £70 per head – just in time for Christmas.

The hamper contains 17 kinds of seafood including 16 inch long giant Siberian crab legs, extra large crab claws from Chile, freshly cooked native UK lobster, four kinds of prawns including monstrous prawns from Madagascar weighing in at half a pound each, assorted more humble but nevertheless crucial shellfish, and as the magnificent centerpiece, 750g of Sevruga caviar.

The selection is carefully balanced between ready-peeled items and fish still in its shell (less efficient but an essential element in the excitement). 9.3kgs of edible weight (15kgs gross), so even the most gluttonous guests will be sated. “Atomic” includes double helpings of caviar and crab leg (11 kg edible weight).
