Spot Shrimp (Prawn)
Pandalus platyceros

Spot shrimp have a deep pink/red or pink/orange body with white lines on the head and two pairs of white spots on the tail end.

Spot shrimp are the largest shrimp in Puget Sound, and may reach a length of more than nine inches (23 cm), excluding the antennae. Spot shrimp are most common in Hood Canal, the San Juan Islands, and northern and central Puget Sound. This is one of the most important shrimp species for both sport and commercial harvesters.
