Even though we made reservations, it meant nothing. In the end, we left w/o eating there and I'm not sure I will ever go back; while waiting outside I decided to call Sun Sui Wah (which is across the street and where we usually go) to see if they could fit us in, they could so we went there instead. The Alaskan King Crab we had was great as usually and the service was awesome. Talking to the owner, he said they received one 15lb crab last shipment and he showed me a picture taken with his cell phone.
FWIW, they are selling their King Crab for $16.99lb at Lucky Tao it was $11.99; Sun Sui Wah said the price should be going up soon! | yes, they had one 15 lbs crab and one 13 pound crab. i sold it to them. the vancouver location got a 14 lbs crab from us. and he was correct. the price has started to go up already. and will continue until the end of the season Quote:

My father does a lot of blast freezing and cold storage for most local large seafood processors. | what company does ur dad work for? theres not just one company that supplies japan or asia, and it wouldnt be true if he said he supplied MOST of japan. no way that one company can handle that.
and a lot of seafood processors blast freeze themselves. if you said ur dad worked for corpak or versacold, then yes, they store alot of the prawns destined for japan, but he DEFINITELY does not blast freeze and store MOST local large seafood processors. Quote:

bigrig.... if its not too much trouble with you. It would be nice if you take a picture of a 6lbs AKC, a 10lbs one, and a 15lbs one. So RS members could tell the difference between the different size. It might not be dead exact...but at least we would have a general idea :) | Quote:

and also RS special on getting prawns from you? how about oysters? would love to get some fresh oysters to eat raw ;) |
i will try to take a pic tomorrow afternoon or wed morning when my next shipment comes in, (hopefully we have some of those big ones). my last 3 deliveries, all crab were in the 9-10 lbs range.
i can do an RS special for prawns. but wont know what kind of deal i can give until i know what price is.
the oysters that i can get are only small, med, large sizes. if you're looking for the specially small size oysters, your best bet is lobster man in granville island. |
