Cioffis market on hastings in burnaby has lots of great sausages, including chorizo. Saffron you can really get anywhere, but the g.i. market is good for spices.

What rig are you catching them with?

Prawn trap and prawn pellets

This threads got me fiendin.

so, anybody finding any good deals out there? How much are they going for right now?

$11.99 is the going rate!

That's expensive. I got them last year for $8 bux a lb. Being a crab fishermen has its perks! Wholesale price :D I haven't been seeing any commercial prawn fishers at the dock lately they prob workin hard right now def gonna get some when I go back to sell my crabs in van.

Just went to the docks at granville island..... a second time.... nothing there. Where are all the spot prawns? Did China buy them all up??

gotta ask Niu99 about that :fullofwin:
On a side note, when I had prawns in China, they were very small in size and the shells were very soft. I could basically eat the whole prawn with the shell. I don't know why but I kept having this idea that they caught them in sewers or something like that. Maybe because they catch sewer rats and deep fry them =0

thats cause the prawns u eat in china r mainly river shrimps, not the prawns here that r caught in the ocean.

didnt someone last year on rs sold prawns at large quantities? i remember sending him an email about how much i want and stuff but i never got any prawns or replies.

Where can you buy them right now? T&T? The thrifty store near my house doesn't have them

bought them at T&T last week for 12.99 lb

Dont buy any at the wharf @ Steveston they are small garbage prawns @ $6 a pound

Pricesmart has em for 12-something, superstore has them for 11.99, Osaka had them for $14.99 :fuckthatshit:

those arent even spot prawns in the first place..

No spot prawns at all at Steveston, don't bother.

Picked up 1.5lbs from Superstore, $11.99/lb.

Picked up 5lbs off my wholesaler for 50 bux these prawns are soooo goood. I think these prawns are mainly flown to japan... They can't stay live for very long w/o water even when they are delivered for sale in vancouver they are kept in live tanks

Yesterday T&T at metrotown had lively ones for $14+. Superstore Metro and Coquitlam had rather dead looking ones for $12.28.

Went to T&T at coquitlam mall and bought them for 13.99/lb.

They had two tanks. The top tank had fresh ones (prawns moving actively) and the bottom tank seemed to have old ones (prawns barely moving). Make sure you ask them to give you prawns from the fresh tank only.

Use the leftover prawn heads to make a prawn stock soup base. Would go well with Seafood Noodle Soup.

I fry the prawn heads with butter. Using them for seafood broth is also good as mentioned above.

Just had a little less than 2 lb tonight. It turned out to be 26 prawns in total.

steveston docks had 1 boat selling today. $14 a lb and were all pretty decent sized to large. tons of ppl were buying.

Got some at the lobsterman, $14.99 per, good size and lively.

I gettem for $10/lb :D

Fresh and huuuuge
