Those Shopping Centre prawns (Coles, Woolworths, Aldi, etc) are all just disgusting. They go off really quick with their heads sliming out quickly. Tongue

Yuk.
I never get prawns from 'city' areas.

Cowell Bay in South Australia have awesome prawns and they deliver all over the lower regional centre. We would get their deliveries in the Riverina (NSW) and absolute yum!

I live on south NSW coast - so I'm looking forward to my prawns that have been caught in good clean water, rather than from pollutant run-offs from cities.

I had a live prawn once. As I bit down slowly onto it, I could feel it wiggling its legs more desperately. Obviously in a hell of a lot of pain - I then crushed it out of its misery. I bet it felt much like a human in a car crash eh Wink

Codsy, did you know the vast majority, like 90% of wild caught Australian prawns are frozen on the boat moments after they're caught. The boats are out for a week at a time so the logistics of delivering 'fresh' prawns to you puts them in a price bracket just about nobody can afford.

When you buy non-frozen prawns, they've been bought frozen then thawed by the shop.

The freshest way is to buy them still frozen and defrost yourself.

One place at the fish market sells bags of tail on tiger prawn which are peeled bagged and frozen on the boat for $50. Not bad value when you consider you're not paying extra for the shell.

yes pet I know but snap frozen is better....and thats how aussie prawns get done....when we live din Wollongong we got them fresh caught by a local...smashing... but of course it spoils you for what we put up with today..

any fish does not freeze well... or should I say defrost well...everything about it changes.. well imo...but it is what it is.....I almost never buy them anyway..lol if I get any this Xmas it wont be because I bought them... Cheesy

Yeah. When I lived in Sydney. I would drive down to the 'Gong' to get my seafood from that place right on the Harbour. I would dive and snorkel a lot around there.

I think people are lazy if they pay an extra $30 for them to be pre-shelled. Part of the enjoyment is the shelling of prawns. I've seen people shell a prawn in 2 seconds.

I live a lot further down the Coast now. The seafood is better. I used to date a top 'Cook' (won't mention name) who always made sure the fish were still 'alive', slightly chilled, for her preparation. At just 16 years of age, in her younger days, she ran a family Restaurant in Sydney - she was that good. You can imagine the look on her Family's faces when I was invited for the first 'big dinner' and Tarzan here thought the bowl of lemon water was for dipping the chicken in for marination. Embarrassed

They all stopped eating and watched me quietly in Shocked

The step-father (Austrian) just said "And where the hell did you get Tarzan from?" Typical 'uncultured' Aussie.

Those pre-shelled ones are actually more for everyday use, chuck them in a tom yum soup or onto the BBQ on a weeknight when I don't want to fuss. They're also primo quality.

In shell are of course better as I use the heads to boil and add depth to soups

I've never heard of that done before. Most people bag their prawn heads to be frozen and later put in hidden places to rot and smell upon their unsuspecting enemies. Placed in car air-filters is a good spot. Wink

I remember reading about a very nasty divorce husband leaves with his mistress then fights the wife for every cent...in the end the court said she had to leave the family home it was part of his share... so she knew he would do some paint work but otherwise was a miserable old git and wouldnt replace anything..... so she sewed prawn heads and shells into the hems of all the drapes in the home.....

by the time they tracked them down the house was almost a write off.......you can do some terrible things with prawns... maybe its pay back for eating them..

You're kidding right? Boil the shells and heads for about an hour, skimming every 10 minutes. Freeze the stock into cubes and chuck it into just about anything you want to add a depth of flavour to.

Oh and cars, when I lived in a place near the beach where would drive into our apartment block and park in our numbered spots, I had a back of the cheapest imported frozen seafood marinara mix. Chuck it in the blender with a bit of water and pour the sludge down the air vents.

Probably, but these are tail on tiger prawns, 100% Aussie from Di Costi. They're not huge, I'd call them a medium sized tiger which is still pretty big.

Just remembered, when I was a kid we had a black lab that was a guts and would eat anything.

We used to catch and feed it cicadas, you could hear them chirping as they went down.

Did they feel pain?

Just don't eat their eyes. Grin

I collect them and sell a jar of 'eyes' to my Chinese neighbour as Caviar for $30

When I was a kid there was an urban myth going around that cicada eyes were priceless in Japan.

Just remembered, when I was a kid we had a black lab that was a guts and would eat anything.

We used to catch and feed it cicadas, you could hear them chirping as they went down.

Did they feel pain?

Only when they are squeezed out the other end. Wink
