I can't recall who it was, maybe Brigid Laffan? Anyway, the point she made was that prawns raised with the use of antibiotics can cause blindness in humans, but you get bigger yields of prawns so the practice continues. Such prawns are banned in the EU.
If the UK no longer applies the same phytosanitary regime (begone regulations!) then we may reap a cheap prawn dividend.
The real money would be in taking a lorry of prawns into the EU via Ireland, paying your duty online before you even set out - but declaring that they meet all EU phytosanitary standards.
They won't have been checked on ingress to the UK, and Johnson believes that the EU will accept zero checks on it's border, so they can be run straight into the EU 27 in order to make more profit for the importer.
As you say, unlikely.
