I would be interested in knowing this too. And something else to think about are fresh water prawn/crayfish... any sources here in Canada or BC?

Shaun you can catch the smaller ones in the rivers on the island .. but takes a lot for a meal . there is a asian market in surrey (T.R.T. i think) that bring the red claws and fresh water prawns in on occasion .. just a matter of breeding from there and letting the rest of know when one has sufficient amount :)

Thanks Jon, I will give them a try... I guess I'll need to make sure they are OK in warm water like that of Tilapia...
