Additional Info:
· Live spot prawns are subject to availability. If we don’t catch, we can’t sell!
· We do not grade our spot prawns and the spot prawns are fishermen direct. That means customers can expect to find large and XL spot prawns in their order, direct from the daily catch.
· 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 20 lbs, or custom pickup, or out-of-town requests, please contact us.
· Market prices may be higher this year due to inflation and increased costs.
· *Discount codes do not apply to live spot prawns.
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.

Delivered to home, fresh and tasty!
Highly recommend.. both the product and the delivery were incredibly good.
I paid almost twice the retail price that week (T&T 23.50) for a ten pound order.
It arrived on schedule, nice packaging.
My ten pound order contained Sixteen Bodyless Heads.
Over a pound (10%) of my order missing
Sorry can’t keep buying like this, its unsustainable
We got a large bag of 10 lbs. Learning from past year's mistakes, we quickly removed the heads and put them on ice. At dinner time they were delicious and loved every one!!! It was a great treat for all 4 of us!!
Be warned the 10 lb bag does not fit into most standard size frigs and so we angled it inside the frig and it leaked a bit!! Immediately clean the shrimp else you will be cleaning the shrimp and the frig!
The live prawns were obviously fresh and preparing them was easy and quick. I steamed and grilled them.
