If you’re a fan of juicy B.C. spot prawns, rugby and fiddles — there’s a festival coming up this month in Victoria that’s just for you.

The James Bay Athletic Association is hosting its first annual Spot Prawn and Fiddle Fest Sunday, June 12 in James Bay, with three unusual worlds colliding to create what will surely be an unforgettable experience.

The inaugural festival, produced by CCGF Event Services Inc. — the same company that put on this year’s Cook Street Village Block Party — runs from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. in MacDonald Park and will feature rugby exhibitions, kids play area, a fiddle contest, and a flatbed truck full of B.C. spot prawns called the “prawn spa.”

Spot prawns? Often mush, super expensive and only a little better than high quality farmed product.

Fiddling with unshelled prawns while playing rugby seems like an accident waiting to happen.

But I guess I shouldn't knock on it until I give it a try.

Not that you crabs would care...

 

Maybe try softening up a bit? Come out of your shells?

Instead you're all fiddling while Rome is burning.

I'm curious as to when they started being called "spot" prawns. We used to holiday up at Parksville way back when, bought them fresh at French Creek when they were just called prawns. Very good when fresh, but we can no longer afford them.

It’s been a quarter century at least. They do have spots on them, so it makes sense to call them that.

Finest at Sea came over today and set up in the Woodshed Provisions spot, they brought their live tank truck. I bet sales were brisk.
