Dh bought some cooked king prawns which I griddled, and had eaten one before I realised it smelled of ammonia.

I've just googled it, and apparently the smell indicates "advanced decay".

I've just made myself sick (ugh) so some of it's gone, but I've undoubtedly ingested a good bit of it.

Apart from contacting the shop we bought them from, anything else should I do? I really do not want to be ill!

I've kept the two remaining ones and will freeze one in case needed by environmental health, and will take one back to the shop.

(Dh has just compounded it by saying when the shopkeeper opened the fish cabinet he noticed a smell and asked about it, only to be told the fish had been delivered this morning, so he's not in my good books!)

tia!

How are you today?

(Sorry, found this - and your other one -in Unanswered threads.)

*worried now*

Don't worry - I'm here to tell the tale!

Tmi alert - I downed salt water and vomited as much as I could a la Princess Diana - funny now, but a bit grim on Saturday night.

Now we just have to sort out the shop we bought them from - dh took one of the prawns back yesterday and is waiting to speak to the manager.

We shop there regularly so want to know what went wrong before deciding whether to trust them (or more likely, their supplier), again.

>>relieved<<

Have you heard from the shop yet?

Dh is dealing with it - they phoned and left a message but he hasn't rung them back. It'll be interesting to hear what they say - it's generally a good local shop with friendly service, so we just want to know what went wrong and what they'll do to stop it in the future.
