To have not eaten these prawns?

[AngeloMysterioso]

Currently on holiday in Asia. This evening we went out for dinner at a place that has great TA reviews. I ordered 300g of the garlic prawns, which arrived in the form of four HUGE langoustines. On closer inspection though, two of them turned out to be a distinctly off-putting shade of green around the head, so I didn’t eat them. DH got cross saying it was a waste and an insult to their cooking.

Now I’m a huge seafood fan. I can wolf away a pint of prawns and a seafood platter at Mersea Island seafood shed like they’re running out of them. But I’ve never encountered green prawns before. WIBU to have left them?

Argh there is two threads going on the same thing!

No I wouldn’t have eaten them.

But now I want to go the Company Shed ☹️

I'll say this once more. They are not langoustines.

Langoustines (otherwise know as Dublin Bay Prawns) are more like a small lobster, and whilst a crustacean like a prawn, belong to the family Nephropidae, whilst prawns belong to family Penaeidae.

My mistake!

I didn’t mean post twice, dodgy internet out here
