Spot Prawns are a highly seasonal West Coast delicacy with a beautifully delicate, almost buttery texture with a sweet flavor that’s so, so crave-able.

Tasting notes:
Beautiful, delicate, almost buttery texture. With a lovely sweet and succulent flavor.

How they're fished:
Wild caught using oval traps, then hand-sorted to release bycatch and female prawns back into the water. After sorting, they’re stored in oxygen-enriched seawater to maintain freshness before being flash frozen.

Where they're grown:
These Spot Prawns come from the pristine waters of Barkley Sound in British Columbia, harvested by our friend Mica Verbrugge at Canadian Seafood Inc.

Serve 'em Hog Island Style:
Grill, poach or boil these spot prawns. Serve with our house cocktail sauce or try this simple Grilled Spot Prawn recipe from farm chef, Jamie Burgess.

Size choices:
Head-on spot prawns come in 2.2 lb boxes (aprx. 24-33 prawns per container)

Care:
If thawed, eat within 3 days or freeze for up to 3 months to eat at your leisure.

A note about how Whole Spot Prawns are processed:
Whole (head-on) spot prawns are coated in a sulfite solution (yep, the same sulfites commonly found in wine and beer). It is common practice in the prawn industry to coat them in this solution, which kills any potential parasites in the head, stops them from discoloring when defrosted, and protects them from freezer burn. The ingredients are: maltodextrin, sodium metabisulphite, sodium erythorbate, sodium phosphate, xanthan gum, guar gum, sodium chloride, sodium citrate, autolysed yeast extract.
