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

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.

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.

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