Post #1 - August 12th, 2011, 11:21 amI'm looking for some big prawns. There seems to be a shortage, costco doesn't have any, the ones at Joong Boo are not big enough. Any suggestions?Part of the secret of a success in life is to eat what you like and let the food fight it out inside.

Post #3 - August 12th, 2011, 12:07 pmI've seen big ones at Whole Foods, but their stock varies. I've seen U10s, but I don't think they were as large as what CrazyC describes. Best to call first and I'd recommend starting with the Lincoln Park location first.

They were previously frozen though, and cleaning them was an interesting experience!

That's where I usually see/buy them also.

Post #7 - August 12th, 2011, 3:08 pmTry the Fish Guy. Their weekly email advertised some huge ones at a discount, some with their heads, but you had to buy several pounds. It may be that that will also sell smaller quantities. Probably worth a call.
