Wild BC Spot Prawns: Don’t Miss out!

Wild BC spot prawn season is upon us! The much anticipated fishing season began on May 3rd, 2012 and is expected to last for a number of weeks. Make sure you don’t miss out! Food service customers please place orders with your rep. Retail customers, visit a 7seas retail location nearest you.

What is it about these spot prawns that make it so popular? These prawns are wild, fresh, local and sustainable.

Wild BC spot prawns are a great catch. Along with GREEN Ocean Wise rating, these prawns as listed as a BEST CHOICE with SeaChoice and Seafood Watch.
The fishery is kept sustainable by enforcing catch and trap limits through monitoring programs, limiting the number of licenses and the number of traps per license, having license holders funding scientific research, and restricting the fishery to trap gear . For more, visit the Wild BC Spot Prawn fishery’s website.

Fish of the Week: Coho Salmon

Starting Friday, Coho Salmon will be on special at all of our retail locations. With a promising weather forecast for this weekend make sure you don’t miss out.

Thanks to a tweet from our friends at the Monterey Bay Aquarium Seafood Watch (follow them on twitter @SeafoodWatch) we thought it would be great to promote Coho salmon.

As mentioned, Wild Coho Salmon is versatile, delicious, and sustainable. The meat is leaner than other salmon species, but still has modirate to high levels of Omega 3 fat. Coho salmon is good on the grill or baked in the oven. For sushi connoisseurs Coho is a good choice for sashimi.

Here is a recipe for Roasted Coho Salmon with Lemon Herb Breadcrumbs from Seafood watch. Click here for Recipe
