Uni. Cracked open while wiggling. Hard to top. I want to eat it off a boat now. |
^ ditto, super fresh and literally feels like it's not even the same food as the pre-packages. I personally did not like uni, but once I tried a live one right out of the shell I fell in love! |
ive been seeing spot prawns at t&t lately. whats the deal? where are they from? |
It's usually available, just not in abundance so it's freakin' expensive compared to when in season. |
actually i saw it for the same price as when it was in season, about $13 |
wat! they were 19.99 when I was there last week :( |
which one had it for 13? |
Normally it's 19.99 I think, $13 is awesome |
It's that time again! This year they're saying it's gonna be around $14/lb :okay: |
Really? I heard 12 and that was even at granville island? Regardless, getting reasonably priced seafood in this city is a fucking joke. |
I'm doing a spot prawn night for a couple friends. Can you guys update this thread when you find them cheaper? |
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOT SPOT PRAWN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SOOOOO SOOOO SOOOO EXCITED :D |
:D :D :D :D :D When does the season officially start? Now? |
There's a few places that have gotten them since last week or so, but expensive at like $18.99/lb. This weekend is the annual Spot Prawn festival which kind of kicks off the entire season. |
I'm in tofino crab fishing again and the prawn guys are about to go ham. Tmr is their first day guy docked beside me got dual licenses meaning he can haul 500 traps a day Shiettt. Gonna barter some of my crabs for some prawns tmr hell ya Posted via RS Mobile |
pricing depends on quantity caught on the coast if it's expensive den there's a shortage.. Last year I remember buying from wholesale for 8bux a lb Posted via RS Mobile |
^where? |
I buy str8 from the wholesalers of seafood. When I sell my load of crabs they sell me a few lbs of prawns at cost as a favor =D. Ocean run seafood give them a call and ask of they will sell a few lbs to ya if they won't maybe try get a group buy Goin Posted via RS Mobile |
Update - May 8 T&T - $12.99/lb I'll also add that the size is alright. Not huge but not some skinny little fuckers either. This was at 1st ave T&T. |

How are the prawns this year? It wasn't that great last year. (jealous of you guys in Vancouver....I'm living in London now and so far removed from Vancouver's good food) |
What is the difference in terms of taste between spot prawns and normal prawns? :badpokerface: |
