Prawns

Re: Prawns

this country in general has a pathetic attitude to seafood in general. we live on an island surrounded by well stocked seas and so many people will barely touch any seafood, and if they do it's ****ing salmon.

True. I think Wales could have a much better fisting industry.

Logic would suggest you might want to re-read the post you replied to, very, very carefully.

More worrying how my phone changed the word fishing.

True, people are too picky.
There's a move now to rename some seafood to make it seem more attractive.
Spider crabs caught off Cornwall are now Cornish King Crabs - they're a prized delicacy on the continent, but hardly eaten in the UK.

Similarly Cornish Sole is the new name for Megrim.

3-4 to the kilo?
They ain't prawns, they're lobsters!

And very tasty too

Eating big prawns,crabs, lobsters and live fish selected out of a tank is a complete change from when I was a nipper going with my mum to get fish, smoked haddock or cod mainly, straight off the marble and ice slabs in the fishmongers on Cowbridge road near the old Foresters pub.

I didn’t even know how to eat crab and lobster until the in laws showed me how it’s done

I find the effort-to-meat ratio in crab to be just to far off for my liking.

Re: Prawns

I love fish and since our local market was revamped with about 6 fresh fish stalls (mostly brought in from North Sea ports overnight) we eat more of it than ever.

But shell fish is a different matter.

Prawns rarely, but other shell fish never. I had one experience of lobster (in a Jamaican fish restaurant) and spent the night projectile vomiting. Never again!

Re: Prawns

Two prawns were swimming around in the sea one day. The first one was called Justin and the second one was called Kristian. They were continually being chased and threatened by the sharks that inhabited the area.

Eventually Justin had had enough. He said to Kristian, "I'm fed up with being a prawn. I wish I was a shark, and then I wouldn't have to worry about being eaten all the time."

As he said this, a large mysterious cod appeared and said, "Your wish is granted!"

And believe it or not, with that Justin turned into a fearsome shark.

Kristian was horrified and so immediately swam away as he was scared of being eaten by his old friend.

As time went by, Justin found his new life as a shark to be boring and lonely. None of his old friends would let him get near them as they thought he would eat them and so they just swam away whenever he approached.

It took a while, but eventually Justin realized that his new menacing appearance was the cause of his sad plight.

Then one day he was swimming all alone as usual when he saw the mysterious cod again. He thought it'd be better if he could go back to his old life so he swam to the cod and begged to be changed back. The cod worked his magic and suddenly Justin was a prawn once more.

With tears of joy streaming down his cheeks Justin swam straight to Kristian's home.

As he opened the coral gate, the happy memories came flooding back. He banged on the door and shouted, "Kristian, it's me, Justin, your old friend. Come out and see me again."

Kristian replied, "No way! You're a shark now and you'll just eat me. I'm not being tricked into being your dinner."

Justin shouted back "No, I'm not a shark any more. That was the old me. I've changed...

I've found Cod. I'm a prawn again Kristian."

Big effort for little reward that read.
