Fisherman’s Wharf in False Creek will be abuzz this Saturday as The Chefs’ Table Society of British Columbia celebrates the 11th Annual Spot Prawn Festival. Sponsored by the Pacific Prawn Fishermen’s Association, the festival runs May 13, from 11am to 3pm
Tickets for the festival’s popular Spot Prawn Boil are sure to sell out so get them early if you can.
Each Spot Prawn Boil participant has a wristband for a specific time slot, for access to a plate of three succulent BC spot prawns plus a selection of side dishes made with locally-sourced ingredients from Windset Farms, Grain, and freshly baked Terra Breads. Wristbands also include access to the drink tent for free samples from R&B Brewing , Evolve Cellars and Mogiana Coffee.
Throughout the Spot Prawn Fesival these BC chefs will take the demo stage at the festival.
Demonstrations are free to watch:
