I see them on cooking shows and they look so yummy. Also, what are they called?

    I think I saw some at Hannam Chain down in Torrance not too long ago. They looked pretty hefty but there were only like 4 left late in the afternoon

    If the color’s what you want this isn’t it, but the prawns from TransparentSea aren’t just from a sustainable farm, they taste incredible.

    If you can’t get this type live, it’s better deal to just get the large live prawns at H-Mark for $42.99/lb.

    A little pricey, but the prawns at Chifa are delicious!

    H mart, 99 Ranch. The asian supermarkets. Always the Asian supermarkets. They have them live in tanks, in the fish counter and also packaged in the frozen section.

    Live in tank at H-Mart K-Town (maybe other branches?)

    Ranch 99 has them sometimes too…not always live, when not they’re on ice, and cook up tasty.

    Santa Monica Seafood has Santa Barbara spot prawns. But not always so call ahead and ask

    I’m not a seafood expert but they look similar to the prawns you can get at Bavel

    Are these the same prawns we see in the Friends and Family episode of the Bear?
