Uncle Some,

I have only bought spot prawns from Granville Island before (I got them from those small fish boats coming twice in the weekend afternoon)and realized T&T also have them at a lower price. I just wonder if they are actually same thing so maybe I should just get them from T&T instead.

T&T is cheaper and they still swim.

Those Gwai Lo knows nothing about freshness...

    The spotted prawns event is to sell the prawns off the boats,
    as least it is how they promote.    Yes, T & T could be cheaper but the size is random and on the smaller side.
    The high end restaurants pick the good size prawns and sell them for higher prize.
    Just like you do not see any king crab over 13 Lb at T & T, just the smaller one, which
    do not have a lot of meat on them.

How do you cook spot prawns? Any good recipes?

At home,I usually steam them  in bamboo steamer,
served with  premium soy sauce with chili and chopped shallot, touch of lime juice.
or Barbecue with Chimichurri dipping sauce.
panfried with sweet soy sauce, tempura prawns' head
