How to Kill a Live Prawn

It's fresh seafood season in Victoria, BC. So what happens when you go down to the fisherman's wharf and buy your prawns as fresh as can be ? (Meaning they are still alive when you bring them home..and yes they move).

There are two ways that you can prepare your live prawns for cooking. Either keep them alive until the moment of cooking, or de-head them first.

In this video watch Heidi and Gui as they prepare live prawns for the cookin'! It may not be our most favorite thing to do, but fresh is most certainly best where seafood is concerned.
