Some starters go out of fashion. The prawn cocktail simply ignored the memo. Colman's Seafood Sauce is the pink stuff that kept it going, in a jar, ready for prawns, shredded lettuce and a glass that makes it feel like a special occasion.
You do not measure it. You dollop it, then add a bit more, because the prawns at the bottom deserve some too.
It does chips, fish fingers and the cold prawn sandwich nobody admits to eating standing at the fridge.
This is the UK jar, and it ships from within Canada, so your suitcase can stay in the cupboard.

More about Colman's Seafood Sauce
Seafood sauce sits right in the middle of British comfort food: the prawn cocktail on the pub menu, the starter at a family do, the little pot next to the scampi at the seaside. Some people call it Marie Rose. Most just call it the pink sauce.
Prawns are easy enough to find in Canada. What people go searching for is that particular taste, the one from Sunday lunches at the in-laws and the carvery with the salad bar. The Colman's jar is the one plenty of British kitchens kept in the door of the fridge.
It comes in a 155g glass jar, small enough to sit on any shelf and ready to use straight away. Keep it in the cupboard until you open it, then follow what the jar says. A spoonful over prawns in a glass is the classic; it also turns up on jacket potatoes, in sandwiches and as a dip for whatever came out of the fryer.
Colman's is best known for its mustard, the bright yellow one that clears your sinuses with a Sunday roast. People who buy the seafood sauce often have a look through the rest of the British condiments while they are at it.
