BC Live Spot Prawns Season 2024
BC Live Spot Prawn Season will begin on May 15, 2024 and will be available for 30-40 days. Last year we were successful in getting BC live spot prawns from our boats to your dining tables, and we are very excited about doing it again this year!
*Please note that all these details are subject to change because we are dealing with a live product. Live spot prawns are subject to availability. If we need to reschedule your order due to catch rate or other unforeseen circumstances, we will contact you via phone or email in advance.

Additional Info:

- 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 20lbs, or custom pickup, or out-of-town requests, please contact us.
- Market prices may be higher this year due to inflation and increased costs.
