Delicious, fresh prawns. I had it with pasta, mussels and roasted kale, squash and peppers.

The prawns were not “live” as advertised…. I thought they were way overpriced for some dead spot prawns that costed $64 per pound!!
B C.
Every shrimp was DOA, which would normally be fine if they tasted ok. Multiple were mushy, indicating they were likely dead for some time. Not acceptable at $65/pound, and coupled with a lack of response to inedible salty duck confit from a prior order, I will no longer be shopping with Four Star.

These arrived dead. The heads were black and purified. The tail meat was mushy. I love spot prawns, but for 65 dollars a pound, this was not money well spent. I emailed fourstar immediately but never got a response. Very disappointing.
J C.
Ate the tails raw, and either fried the heads salt and pepper style or grilled them. Over half of them were clearly alive when I split the tails from the head. Is tasty as they are slightly difficult to peel without leaving a bit of tail behind
J C.
15 to a pound, ate the tails raw, as amaebi sashimi, then fried up the heads with a bit of corn flour. Very fresh but not quite as large as the ones from Monterey which were also alive
Maria D.
love love love. my favorite. i love partially raw.
Christopher L.
These awesome shrimp had a surprise of roe which made them even more amazing. Sushi style with the roe filled dried fried heads and raw tail was spectacular.

The spot prawns were delivered as promised and most were still alive. We cooked & served with pasta. They were tasty, but even though all cooked the same, a few were tough & dry. But, they were super fresh!
Mei W.
The prawns were super fresh and still moving. My family loved them!
Betty
These were huge - 7 to a pound - and 6 of them had roe. I ate one raw and boiled the rest. They were excellent and I would definitely order again!
Maria D.
Very large prawns! Alive and fresh. They even had eggs too! Absolutely delicious!
MR N.
Arrived as expected, were packed well and still live. Nice mix of very large and a couple medium size I assume to hit the weight. Given these have a limited season I get why not having a large/medium/small type option since I kinda prefer small to medium but nit-picking
Neil S.
Super fresh, live spot prawns. A real treat, the best I've ever had.
J C.
While most spot prawns were sluggish, half of them were fine to eat raw. The others became one of the best gambas al ajillo that I've had on the side of the Atlantic
Tiantian W.
Chive and shrimp dumplings. Fresh defeated frozen completely.
Sonia W.
Extremely fresh!! Everyone just loves it and wants to have it again!
Alexandra M.
what an adventure! live prawns, add saffron and rice and eat well!

This was my first time experiencing Spot Prawns. They were PERFECT! I had some raw - yes the luscious heads and all. Some I boiled briskly with heavily altered water and adorned them with freshly squeezed lemon juice. I cherish the sea flavor and therefore need no other flavors on seafood. Thank You!
I also LOVED the Percebes - not my first time having these. I simply steamed them in heavily salted water very briefly and then adorned them with the fresh lemon juice. So Delicious and beautiful and I have such respect for the harvesters! I so look forward to having them again SOON from Four Star. I so appreciate you Four Star for having them available for me. Merci!

Prawns we’re still alive and very fresh! Ordered they evening before and we’re at my door step by 2pm the next day!
Ken N.
Excellent quality. Like eating baby lobster tails. Delicious
Maria D.
Purchased a second time. Delivered fresh and alive!
Tiantian W.
I peeled it so the shell wouldn’t slow me down. Head is my fav. Already gone.
Maria D.
2 lbs of spot prawns. Fresh and alive when delivered. Absolutely delicious!
Dick R.
Cooked these little beauties up the day they arrived. Two minutes in the pan, then add the fresh linguini, squeeze on a lemon and sauté for another two. The taste was fresh, sweet and right out of the ocean.
Tiantian W.
Some revolted by splashing me with water; others tried to break the prison.
Sylvia W.
Shrimp was so fresh that they were still jumping! Delicious
Zhenzhen Z.
Fresh and tender
Alberto G.
Delicious! Everyone was delighted, floured and fried, then a hand roll. YUM!
Glenn
Really fantastic product - live prawns were the perfect jewels on our Paella. The East Coast Scallops were also so delectable - thank you Four Star Seafood - another fantastic delivery to San Jose!
Erica
These gorgeous, fresh, delicious LOCAL prawns were the crown of the Paella we made last night. With the East Coast scallops and the Bomba rice from Fourstar - it was one of those "knock the cover off the ball" homers!
Julianne F.
These were so buttery and delicious- couldn’t be fresher!
Stephanie C.
The shrimp delivered was still quite fresh and live! Enjoyed half raw with soy sauce and saved the heads and tail to deep fry as a snack! Also steamed half of the remaining shrimps. In the end, the favorite way to enjoy was raw. It was very sweet!
Tamara G.
All the prawns arrived live and fresh. They made succulent and sweet sashimi, and the heads and shells were simmered into a rich stock. Excellent!
Matt F.
Super fresh and sweet! Made an amazing pasta
Simon L.
They are still alive when arrive. Very fresh.
Kristin J.
So so good!!!! I can’t wait to get more!
Fenny W.
Spot prawns were fresh! Uni was freshest I've had. The live scallops somehow had more sand this time and didn't seem as alive as prior purchases.
Hiroko S.
So fresh and alive.
Tasted fantastic raw or boiled
Leland D.
The best spot prawns I've had in years--incomparably fresh and sweet.
Kallen C.
These spot prawns are heavenly, so fresh and sweet. We ate some raw and rest just poached. Fabulous!
