Thanks LD. I ended up finding freeze dried ones at Organic Planet on Quinpool Rd. I wanted some with no sugar or sulphites for a short mead.

Is there a reason to use freeze dried over just plain frozen?

Easier to pulverize and possibly extract more strawberry flavour? Not sure. I'll probably try both at some point if I like the recipe, although freeze dried is super convenient now that I know where to get them. I'm following the strawberry peppercorn short mead recipe from speed brewing just out of curiosity.
The strawberries came in a ziplok bag, so I just opened the bag and pushed all the air out, then zipped it and used a rolling pin to turn the strawberries to powder in about 20 seconds. They smelled fantastic.
