Wild Alaska Spot Prawns

Our Wild Alaskan Spot Prawns, also known as spot shrimp, are the largest and most sought-after shrimp species in Alaska. Prized for their subtle sweetness and succulent texture, these prawns have earned their reputation as the “lobster of Alaska.” With a flavor and richness that rivals lobster, spot prawns make every dish feel indulgent yet effortless.

Recognized by the distinctive white spots on their 1st and 5th abdominal segments, these prawns are truly special. They cook quickly and are incredibly versatile—perfect for grilling, sautéing, pan-frying, or even poaching. Our Wild Alaskan Spot Prawns are not only delicious but also exceptionally nutritious. Naturally free from additives and preservatives, they are low in fat and calories yet high in lean protein—making them an ideal choice for healthy, clean eating.

Our wild spot prawns are frozen at sea in solid blocks immediately after harvest to lock in peak freshness, flavor, and texture. While not individually frozen, this method ensures the highest quality straight from the source.

We take pride in offering only the freshest, highest-quality seafood. Our spot prawns are harvested sustainably to ensure the long-term health of Alaska’s marine ecosystem, so you can enjoy them guilt-free.

Storage: Seafood ordered from Premier Catch should be kept frozen until you are ready to enjoy it. For best quality, we recommend consuming within 6 months of purchase.

Thawing: The safest way to thaw your spot prawns is under refrigeration. We recommend gently rinsing them under cold water and then placing them in a colander over a plate or tray in the refrigerator for 6-8 hours, or overnight. This ensures thawing at safe temperatures.

Keep refrigerated until serving or preparing. We recommend consuming within 1 day of defrosting.

Wild Alaska Spot Prawns are frozen at sea within hours of harvest to preserve their sweet flavor and delicate texture. To protect their quality, they are frozen together rather than individually loose. This means they arrive as a single frozen block, which is completely normal for spot prawns that have never been thawed or refrozen on land.

To use a portion now and save the rest, briefly run the frozen block under cold running water just until the outer prawns loosen. Do not soak or use warm water. Gently separate what you need and return the remaining frozen portion to the freezer, making sure well sealed to prevent freezer burn.

Allow the prawns you plan to cook to finish thawing in the refrigerator. Rinse briefly under cold water if needed and pat dry before preparing.

We source wild seafood primarily from Alaska and the Pacific Northwest, and occasionally from other U.S. fisheries. Our seafood is harvested from carefully managed fisheries using responsible fishing methods such as trolling, longlining and pots, depending on the species and fishery.

Our seafood is processed in the United States and never sent overseas for processing. It is flash frozen close to the time of harvest to protect flavor, texture and quality.

When it comes to seafood, we believe wild is better. Premier Catch offers only wild-caught seafood sourced from U.S. fisheries, never farmed.

Wild seafood grows in its natural habitat and feeds on a native diet. The result is seafood with exceptional flavor, naturally occurring nutrients, and a direct connection to the waters and fishing communities it comes from.

By choosing Premier Catch wild seafood, you’re:

  • Supporting U.S. fishermen and coastal communities
  • Choosing seafood from responsibly managed fisheries
  • Enjoying premium, traceable wild seafood
  • Bringing the best of America’s waters to your table

Most Americans aren’t eating enough seafood. Experts recommend enjoying seafood at least twice a week as part of a healthy diet.

Seafood is a natural source of high-quality protein and important nutrients, including omega-3 fatty acids. Fatty fish like salmon and sablefish are especially rich in omega-3s.

Premier Catch makes it easy to enjoy 2–3 servings of wild seafood each week with:

  • Wild-caught seafood from U.S. fisheries
  • Convenient, portioned and flash-frozen options
  • Premium fish and shellfish delivered directly to your door
