About These Spot Prawns

These are large Spot Prawns, almost as big as our Jumbo size but harvested before the females develop visible roe. Same firm, sweet meat, same wild-caught Alaskan origin, just easier to work with in dishes where the roe would change the presentation. If you want the roe, choose the Jumbo size instead.

Alaska Spot Prawns

Alaska Spot Prawns (Pandalus platyceros) are technically shrimp despite the common 'prawn' name. They are the largest shrimp in Alaskan waters, harvested from the cold, deep inlets of Southeast Alaska using small-scale baited traps dropped to depths of 300 to 600 feet. Caught in relatively small quantities, which keeps them seasonal and quietly precious.

A curious detail of their biology: Spot Prawns are protandric hermaphrodites. They begin life as males, mature, mate, then change sex and finish their lives as females. The roe-bearing females are the largest of the species, which is why our Jumbo grade often carries roe.

On the Plate

The meat is firm, almost lobster-like, with a clean natural sweetness. We harvest, sort, and freeze within hours of catch to lock in flavor and texture. Sauté with garlic and white wine, butter-poach whole, grill on skewers, or serve chilled on a seafood platter.
