Neptune's Basket?

Options
Has anyone heard or experienced this business before? Just wondered what others thought?

On Friday I was working from home and had a knock on the door. It's a company called Neptune's Basket - they basically deliver a range of frozen fish, some of which is just filleted fish but others are prepared items.

Being completely naive about what they might sell, I asked if they had any prawns, to which he replied 'yes, let me show you them'.

So, along he trots to his van and a minute later comes back with a box of prawns. I asked him if I could take a fiver's worth to which he replies: 'sorry, we only sell them in boxes'.

How much is a box I ask him?

His reply: £55!

I was pretty flabbergasted and sent him on his way, but I just wanted to see if others actually used this company. The amount of prawns in a box is probably worth around £10 - £20 by my reckoning, but they're selling them for £50. And worse, there's no guarantee of the quality or freshness of the items. They could have been sitting around for a week before being frozen.

Has anyone else heard of Neptune's Basket?
