Spot Prawns in Greek Pasta
Pacific Spot Prawns like oursharvested in the waters ranging from upper Washington State to southeast Alaskaenjoy an eco-best rating from the Environmental Defense Fund.

People who try them are invariably amazed by our Pacific Spot Prawns’ stunning freshness and fabulous flavor.

That’s because the captain who catches our Prawns takes them straight from the net into tubs filled with fresh seawater and flash-freezes them immediately.

They taste as fresh as being cooked right out of the net!
