16.98 Pricesmart richmond

Spot Prawn prices are not that bad.... It's $15....

Bought 4 pounds today


HINGGGGGGGGG

^where? Thast the cheapest I heard

PriceSmart Foods this weekend (Sat & Sun, at least). $14.98/lb

Don't buy them all. Please save some for me tomorrow.

Supply and demand my friend. Suppliers looking for top dollar and most of the supply is purchased in Asia. I'm in the crab business and I can tell u right now 99% is being exported. Restaurants stopped purchasing crab because people aren't willing to pay 25$lb when u can eat King crab geoduck for around the same price. What can locals do? Get a couple prawn traps and crab traps maybe a dingy and catch em yourself! Cost be a one time thing and the traps can be reused. Bait is fairly cheap as well you could use left overs. From what I understand the area around English Bay to Granville Island is closed to commercial fishing so stocks will be plentiful.!

I wonder if Mainlanders will suddenly develop a taste for sockeye salmon.

17 at granville island

genocide is expensive

I might not even do spot prawns this year. It's so bloody expensive that I might as well eat lobster instead lol

Lobster hot pot, right? :hotbaby:

Gotta pick up some abalone first

I think you can get your fill though at a cheaper rate. If you spend an equal amount on crab or lobster it'll be tiny or not meaty. Although I do agree over priced though.

14.99 at the fish market on Vic and I believe 50th?

Teemway. Last week it was $15.99/lb, or $14.99/lb if you buy 3+lbs. They also had "not live" BC spot prawn for $7.99/lb

Why doesn't China develop a hankering for pests instead.

it was 14.99/lb at superstore as well, earlier today.
Except, they were pretty much all gone for except 2lbs left? Insane.

$14.98 at Price Smart Grandview which got raped pretty quickly. Went there today at around 1130 and there were literally 2 left.

any updates on pricing today?

Just shy of $17/lbs at Pricemart Grandview last night.
Even lobsters are cheaper per pound.

So I got a lobster and mussels too.

Was $14.98 at Superstore today and everything was cleared out except for 2 dead ones

18.88 yesturday at T&T O_________O.

Too pricey for me now.
I had some people over and we played around some.
I think that's it for me unless my friends want to bankroll them again.

I remember back in the day they would be like $7.99 lol ... damn I used to plow through them, me and my co-worker went through like 8lbs in a day.
Damn if I did that now, with a decent bottle of wine, would set me back like $200 for a casual sit at home. :heckno:

Anyone know when they're back in season for 2015?

Would've been nice if they didn't ban that one guy that would always cut us in on spot prawn deals.
