Until five years ago the largest portion of the <strong>BC</strong> spot prawn catch was exported,<br />
mostly to Asia. But around 2006, these sweet, buttery prawns started to show<br />
up on menus across <strong>BC</strong> and the converts grow in numbers year after year. Spot<br />
prawns are one of the best wild ingredients from the West Coast ocean and with natural<br />
perfection like this, less is definitely more. Simple preparations like poaching or grilling<br />
whole with just lemon, garlic and melted butter allow the fresh flavour of this shellfish to<br />
shine. The relatively short harvest, just May and June, only adds to the appeal of <strong>BC</strong> spot<br />
prawns. Tasty, local and sustainable: now that’s a <strong>BC</strong> beauty.<br />
