hey all

any decent places to get spot prawns? whats the going price these days..been a while but i've got family from out of town and they want to try some..thanks

Super Store was selling them for 29.00 per lb.

29$ is a bit high, 20$ a lb at the docks seems to be the going rate, they are the best I think

The docks are spotty ( no pun intended). The last bag I bought was bad. They were full of eggs. Every last one. PLUS they sell out FAST. There is usually a long line of seniors that are up at the crack of dawn waiting to scoop them up. Good luck

We've always had good luck at the docks in Steveston. Try to arrive 30-45 mins before the boat's due to beat the worst of the lineup. It's been $20 a pound for the last couple of years. You can get daily updates on their FB page: https://preview.tinyurl.com/y2g9e5j8

If you're only buying a pound or two, just buy them from a store for $25-30/lb and save yourself the time/gas of driving out to Steveston.

It's been 10 years since I lived there but you could by fish right on the Westminster key.
They used to sell fish there on some days.
You should inquire at the Westminster key public market. Even there you might find fish products.

No fish to be seen at the Quay these days. They remodelled it a few years ago and it's full of boutiques and hipster restaurants. There's even a circus school on the second floor. The Crab Shop (of North Van) had a store there in the very beginning after the renovations but they folded after just a few months. It was replaced by a great Thai restaurant called Longtail which is still there. The Russian sub is also long gone

$19 is a great price. The last time they were under $20 in Steveston was 3 or 4 years ago (@$18).
