someone once said that since shrimp occupy the bottom part of waters they eat other creatures dumpings which makes them unclean to eat. What do you think?
Not only catfish, but halibut, sole, haddock, snapper, and cod can all be bottom feeders and are all "delish".LOL - catfish!!
and delish!
I love shrimp provided it has been cleaned properly (deveined). However, I have been to restaurants that serve shrimp "shell on", which means it hasn't been cleaned. Dunno why they do this... maybe it is for presentation purposes to show how magnificent their shrimp are, but as someone who has cleaned many a shrimp, I find it gross.
Interestingly, there’s 8 times more polonium in cooked shrimp than in raw. Researchers think it’s because most of the polonium is in the shrimps’ internal organs, which is released in to the boiling water and contaminates the muscle. Gutting crustaceans before cooking may therefore decrease radiation exposure.
While in Australia, we stopped for lunch that offered "Box of shrimp and a beer". That sounded good to me until the box showed up
I don't mind seeing the little shrimpy faces! Gives me something to talk to while I peel one of its coworkers.

Shell on shrimp just means the customer has to work to eat their dinner.
While we are on the subject what is the best way to cook shr.imp? Boiling I assume.
If you're referring to the dark stringy thing you pull out of the shrimp's back, it's not a vein - that's a euphemism. It's the digestive tract. There could be roe along the belly.But the shell should be split and the vein removed if there is a vein.
I cleaned some last Sunday and they really needed cleaning. Looked like roe in there?
Boiling is the worst way to cook shrimp because it can overcook and get tough very quickly. You can poach it, grill it, pan-fry it, roast it or bake it in a sauce. One of my favorite ways to prepare it is to bake it in tomato sauce seasoned with sautéed onion and garlic, oregano, lemon juice and S&P, topped with feta cheese.While we are on the subject what is the best way to cook shr.imp?
