Recipe, prices, locations please share.

I'm looking for prawn roe. Where might one get this??

With the prices these days... :fuckthatshit:

Dating myself but I remember when at the height of the season, I got them from $6.99/lb from a place at Continental Plaza, Richmond.

Yea that shit don't exist no more bruh we be lucky with low double digits on the dollar amount.

Again I do nothing fancy, also had it last night at $26.99 from T&T

-Bring water to boil and turn off
-Throw shrimp in for 30 secs give or take
-Amoy chill soy sauce for dip

Granville island prices:

Seafood City 28.80/lb
Lobster Man 26.99/lb

Those prices.. :heckno:

Thought I saw the going rate at both Granville Island and Steveston Pier were $20/lb

guy i talked to yesterday who has a buddy who sells at steveston was saying it's $40/LB for the tails? fuckk...

is it ok to eat them raw when buying from a source like steveston wharf? i'm planning on making some Prawn tartare

yes it's ok to eat them raw if they are fresh, places like steveston are safer then buying at the store 90% of the time.

Dayumm with prices like that, no wonder prawn licences are going for close to a million now

Probably won't even order any for work this year. They are so overpriced you need to put a $40 dish together to make it make sense. The ones my buddy got in from his supplier were 90% dead and fucking $24 a pound.

i tried this recipe over the weekend (which i normally do with clams/mussels) with a few pounds of prawns and it worked quite nice!

- beer (used some pilsner i had lying around)
- butter
- garlic
- green onions
- a bit of veggie stock (frozen cubes in my freezer)

had a bunch of "broth" left over, so i kept it and i plan on making some udon in it or something.

I ordered from a local Seafood wholesaler
Buy Spot Prawn (Ocean Wise) Online - Buy Live Seafood

$22/lb for Live. Really good stuff, cheapest price I've found

do we have to call ahead and order or can we just show up and buy?

I would probably call ahead and order. I ordered on Tri-Star Seafood's website since they deliver for FREE ( with a minimum amount of course ). So it's pretty cool to have seafood delivered to your house.

holy shit, $22/lb is considered a good price nowadays? damnnn

Wife just got 2lbs from Tri Star today. AMAZING!!! Drive by pick up is awesome too. Definitely gonna get more. Thanks Ducdesmo.

How were the sizes on them? Website says random sizes.

Huge, at least that's what my wife calls them.

T&T @ $19.99/lb

yup, they even roped off the area and posted signs when they're getting them in

They expecting a riot at $20/lb?

Is it worth it at that price? I've never had them before but have been really curious. What would be the best way to make em for the first time?

Honestly sashimi or flash boil with some dipping sauce I.e. spy sauce
