Prawn Season

Today is the first day of the annual 62 day commercial prawn fishing season in the ocean waters around Powell River. We paid a late afternoon visit to our "connection" and bought 10 lbs fresh off the boat. Barb from next door took 4 lbs and we kept 6. Then came the hard part! The peeling is not easy. Especially when they're so fresh. We could go into the explanation of how it's done but as it includes breaking the heads off, we'll leave the details for another time. We had a few for supper and the rest went into the deep freeze to have on hand in case we get visitors this summer.
