British Columbia, wild spot prawns have become a highly sought after delicacy by esteemed chefs around the world.
Our commercial fleet of prawn vessels harvest sustainably using live traps and upon landing aboard, carefully grade, finger-pack and freeze their catch at sea. We grade our spot prawns into the following sizes: Medium (M), Large (L), Extra Large (XL), Jumbo (J) and Extra Jumbo (XJ).
The majority of our spot prawns are packed and frozen whole in 1KG boxes in their respective size grades and further packed into “Master Cartons” which contain 12 x 1KG boxes. Tubs of spot prawn tails are also available, packed as 1lb of shell-on tails, frozen at sea in pacific seawater.
Caught using the same live trap methods as our wild spot prawns, our fleet also harvests both King and Side-Stripe shrimp. We pack 1lb of shell-on tails into clear plastic zip-top tubs containing seawater which are then frozen at sea. These tasty wild shrimp tails are easy to peel and packed in a convenient size for both retail or food service.
