· If pre-orders are sold out, choose another day, or check back later. Visit us at Ladner Wharf for cash sales at market price.
· For orders larger than 20lbs, or custom pickup, or out-of-town requests, please contact us.

Live spot prawns are a delicacy and available during harvest starting on May 15, 2024. The season lasts a mere 5-6 weeks. Our live, fresh, wild-caught, and sustainable spot prawns are harvested along Vancouver Island. Starting May 17, you can come for walk-up sales at Ladner Wharf (5000 Elliott Street, Delta) or pre-order for Greater Vancouver home delivery.
Tasty and versatile. Best of the season! Spot prawns are almost a cross between a lobster and a shrimp, known to have a sweet, rich buttery flavour, so they are not only delicious but sustainable as well. Live spot prawns can be prepared in so many different ways from grilled on your barbecue, raw sashimi style, steamed, baked, broiled, shell on or shell off. It's all up to you!
- Great source of protein
- No preservatives
- Wild-caught, never farmed or genetically-modified
- Our BC live spot prawns are OceanWise and MSC Certified Sustainable.
Storage: We recommend taking the heads off (if you aren't going to eat them right away) and storing your live spot prawns in an airtight container for up to 3 days in the fridge, and serve as soon as possible. You may freeze your spot prawns in plastic containers with water, however it is best to eat the spot prawns within two days of thawing. They will last in your freezer for up to a year.

Each year the first batches are always fresh and big with prawns. No regrets getting from them every year...come out all the way from Port Coquitlam to Delta and back. The only issue with near the end of season, there will be a few smalls ones. Bought some over to the parent the near season end, parents told me they had 12 small shrimps.
장소도 찾기 힘들었는데 가격보단 신선도가 조금 떨어 졌다 바닷물에 안담궈놔서 싱싱하지 않고 약간 흐물흐물하고 구어먹기로 해서 한두마리 생으로 먹어봤는데 다른데 비해 많이 비렸습니다. 크기는 다른데 보단 좀 큰편이었습니다.
Did not get the 1st order discount. No response when queried.
Pickup from dock was no problem and fishers were friendly.
Next time will simply pickup and not use pre-order reservation - did not deliver customer discount or respond. Poor pre-order service.
Great ordering system, easy pick up, delicious first class prawns.
So fresh !
