Got Spot Prawns from Richmond TNT yesterday Sat - May 18 @ $13.99 lb
Taste great but a few notes.
- The tank is a mix of large and small ones
- YMMV they were all alive but there's a few of them that are dead (brought it home and cooked it within 3 hrs and in my 1 lb I got about 10-12 shrimps, 2 were dead.

For me, the pouring technique cooked better spot prawns.

What I usually do is similar to cooking veggies.
1. boiling water
2. drop prawn in with a drainer
3. lift back up right away
4. wait for water to boil again
5. drop prawn back in with a drainer for 15-20 seconds (~1.5-2 lbs)
serve

Grab prawn with 1 hand with the belly facing towards your face.
Other hand pry with your thumb where the main shell meets the legs on the belly.
Do this 1 section at a time, then proceed to remove the legs.
I hate getting my fingers poked.
Darth's girl was kind enough to peel for me last time.  | |

last time i had spot prawns i had 3 different dipping sauce
Saffron Vinaigrette - tangy and fresh
roasted garlic and chive butter - very flavorful but takes a bit of the natural taste of the prawns
Spicey Sesame soy dip.. - typical asian style. salty with a kick

My family recipe for boiled shellfish is like a vinegery dipping sauce.
Lots of ingredients, but it's all random stuff you would find in an asian home.
Kick from: Finely chopped red chilies, garlic, shallots
Sourness from: Rice wine vinegar, lemon juice
Salty from: soy sauce
Aromatic from: sesame oil
Body from: mirin (this last one is my own addition, my parent's don't use this).

Just over 1 month away! Though it's probably gonna be overpriced again this year

I haven't been, but I don't think so. Just signifies the opening of spot prawn fishing season in BC.
Then again I hate crowds and festivals.

I went twice and only grabbed a few pounds of prawns from Fishermans Warf and then left. There are guest chefs, Tojo was there showing some of his recipes and giving samples, it was a mad house, tough to get a good look or a taste. Also they had a spot prawn boil for $10 a plate, comes with corn and other sides, only a few prawns. If rather grab a pound for $12-16 and do my own dish instead, screw the sides!
