It’s that time of the year, spot prawn season!
The annual Spot Prawn Festival was a casualty of the pandemic last year but this year they’re going virtual.
Kitsilano’s Fresh Ideas Start Here Fish Market at 2959 West Broadway has spot prawns in stock at $20 per pound and they have curb-side pick-up! There’s no telling how long the spot prawn season will continue, so don’t wait.
For spot prawn newbies, let me emphasize that these shrimp are worth it. They’re the largest species available in Canada’s waters, and are known for their sweet, delicate flavor and firm flesh.
Here are four spot prawn recipes that will inspire your inner chef.
