Prawn
Prawns below to the
sub-order Dendrobranchiata. They are shrimp-like crustaceans.
There are many species of shrimp. Some shrimp stay as
shrimp and do not get big like this species. Prawns are just the largest of
several species of shrimp. Pacific Prawns get big and are good eating. Prawns
generally live for four years, starting their lives as males and maturing at one
year of age. They function as mature males for two years and then transform into
females in the final year of life. This condition is known as protandric
hermaphrodism. They are nicest eating, and most desired the bigger they get.
Prawns do not bite, they stab you.
Prawn Bait
Prawn Trap
A prawn is a large species of several species of shrimp.
Fresh from the sea, they taste like
lobster, but after a few days, or after freezing, they have a different taste,
both are very much liked. When they are at the prawn state, they are most
desired to eat.
Preparing the Prawn
Preparing the prawn. We like to remove the heads, and toss
them back in the sea, as many sea life, would love that meal. It is a type of
recycling. and a shame to bring them home and garbage them.
Cooking up the Prawn
Prawns taste like lobsters but are richer in flavor
All the hard work of Prawning pays off when you get to sit
down and eat them
Prawn anyone?!
