P RAWN BISQUE

Instead of the traditional chowder, we are offering the creamy delicious prawn bisque.

Ticket for the bisque with a freshly baked bun is $10 a bowl (plus tax and service) and if you want, you can take it to go!

NO LONG WAIT!!! Choose to enjoy your Prawn Bisque in one of the following time slots:

• 11 am to 12 pm (noon)
• 12 pm (noon) to 1 pm
• 1 pm to 2 pm
• 2 pm to 3 pm

The time, clearly indicated on your ticket, should be respected! Please note that showing up early for your time will not give you earlier access and that showing up late might make you wait longer.

SPOT PRAWN FESTIVAL BRUNCH

A wonderful idea for an outing on the weekend: a brunch featuring a tasting menu with 6 delicious spot prawn dishes showcasing the many ways this delicacy can be served.

Dishes will be prepared by some of BC’s finest chefs, a nice way to sample various creations and for you to say hello to the chefs as you move between the food stations and savour samples of BC wine & beer and non-alcoholic beverages. A sweet treat will be served too.

Two services are available and our participating chefs and restaurants are:

Brunch service: 11:30 am to 1 pm and Brunch service :1:30 pm to 3 pm

CHEFS TO BE ANNOUNCED SOON

(Please note: 6 chefs at each brunch. The exact chefs presenting at each brunch will not be known in advance as scheduling may change to accommodate the chef’s busy schedules.)

Ticket for the brunch is $85.00 per person (plus tax and service fee) and includes a delicious tasting menu consisting of six spot prawn dishes, samples of wine, beer and non-alcoholic beverages, and a sweet treat.

Also not to be missed, our LIVE DEMO STAGE ON THE DOCK (11AM-2PM):

Join talented chefs for ½ hour cooking demonstrations as they share tips, techniques, and inspiration for cooking with BC Spot Prawns.
