This appears in a menu:
'Loup ou Daurade Royale
Confit de tomate et '
I think it must be 'prawns' (gambas) as nothing useful comes up on Google under 'gambavas', or in any of my other searches.
Has anyone any other ideas please? Many thanks for your help

Low confidence level as I'm not sure and can't find proof on the net, but "gambava" immediately makes me think of "combava".
I only found one restaurant where "gambava" is on the menu http://www.lachotte.ch/?PHPSESSID=ia060eih75c172323ti44ge8b0...

What sort of cuisine does the restaurant serve ?

I think I will go for Catharine's suggestion as in one of her links it actually said 'le cambava'.
After reading all your answers I remembered that a few months ago I was translating some menus and the word 'combava' came up. I can't use my translation software for this particular project so I didnt have any memories setup. However, when I investigated further- there it was 'combava/kaffir lime.
Since it is a 'confit' I'm going to go for 'combava'.
Many thanks to everyone for your input
Try googling it and see what you think
