support your fellow Canadian fisherman! American spot prawns aren't as big because they keep top grade down in the states when there graded. With the popularity of these prawns they will sell almost anywhere

I remember there used to be a guy on RS that owned a seafood distribution business or smth
and I remember buying spot prawns directly off of that guy, and it was really good and he gave me a pretty good price too (cheaper than tnt for bigger and better prawns)
but I think he got banned from RS for selling prawns lol....

From my knowledge Tnt superstore buys from a wholesaler in van that buys from the states. If you goto your mom n pop shop should be Canadian. I'll let you guys know when the season starts our market will be flooded with Canadian prawns and wholesalers will avoid buying from the states Posted via RS Mobile | |

Bought 2 pounds today from the downtown TNT. 30% of them had eggs in the tummy. Too early in the season but the price was alright at $14.
Got my fix.
