no. the 400g bag was £4, the '240g' bag was on offer at £2. When I was cooking, i noticed that the '240g' bag was 200g with ice, 180g without

The large bag is 440g not 400g, the small bag at £2 is 200g, perhaps you misread the freezer sticker?

Could it not just be a one off where the amount of prawns that went in was incorrect?

I don't think the OP actually weighed the prawns. I think they are saying the label on the shelf said 240g but the printed weight on the actual packet stated 200g.

I'm absolutely convinced I didn't because I worked out which was the best buy.

Well today Asda are selling:
440g Asda King Prawns at £4.00.
200g Asda King Prawns at £2.00.
240g Asda Extra Special Raw King Prawns at £3.00.

It looks like if you had picked up the 240g bag, you would've been charged £3.00 for it.

I believe the SELs were incorrect stating 400g and 240g instead of 440g and 200g

Ok, so back to your original post.

Is it really worth writing anywhere?
It looks like someone made a mistake.

Making a mistake is not breaking the law.
Only if the wrong price was intentional would it be breaking the law.

You could if you wish report it to Trading Standards.

If I were you I would mention it next time you are there and hopefully they might offer you something, but I wouldn't be going out of my way for about 40p.

Probably not.......but I like a fight.
