Click to zoomWild Spot Prawns (Frozen)
What it is
BC spot prawns, whole and shell-on — large, sweet, and firmer than most shrimp, with a flavour closer to lobster than to a tiger prawn.
How we handle it
Frozen whole after harvest and kept solid in our freezer. Sold by weight, thawed in the fridge before cooking.
How to cook it
Grill them shell-on over high heat, or poach them briefly in butter with salt and lemon. Simple is the only way to cook these. Steaming mussels, clams and crab.
Good to know
The spot prawn season is famously short, which is why nearly all of them are sold frozen — frozen is the normal way to buy them, not a compromise.
