they any different from that dyed re-packed tuna they're trying to call "farm salmon"?

Whatever you do don't mention the war!

Excellent headline subby. Made me laugh out loud.

Reminds me of the time I was play Balderdash with a bunch of friends and family. The word was "Ladler". Someone wrote "A Chinese ladder" for the definition.

Trader Joe's was (still might be) selling Vietnamese-sourced frozen prawns. I've gotten to the point where if it's not sourced and made in the USA, I'm not eating it.

Let me play Bevets for a moment;

Leviticus 11:10
And all that have not fins and scales in the seas, and in the rivers, of all that move in the waters, and of any living thing which is in the waters, they shall be an abomination unto you

and Deuteronomy 14:9-10 says:
These ye shall eat of all that are in the waters: all that have fins and scales shall ye eat:
And whatsoever hath not fins and scales ye may not eat; it is unclean unto you.

So don't say you weren't warned....

I'd rather risk death than be lured into looking at Thai pr0n, what with their hidden dongs and such.

Great, what am I supposed to do? Eat my pet Amanos and Cherry Reds?

prus 1, subby.

Thank goodness it's mandatory for food labels to include country of origin now. But where the Hell are these guys getting all these farking chemicals?

Well done, subby.

It wasn't mandatory before? Interesting, here in Switzerland restaurants have to declare what country their fish, poultry, and meat are from for the customers to see. Perhaps it started with Great Britain and the whole mad cow mess.

hory clap

They put ground-up glass in the prawns and give them our GIs!

No - why do you ask?

The Vietnamese-raised prawns are best when covered with a napalm hot sauce.

Coco... I think that has more to do with Switzerland's strict protectionist laws which are intended to keep the Swiss farming tradition alive. If I remember correctly the grocery stores list country of origin on all produce as well.

Seafood Watch (Monterey Bay Aquarium) is a good place to look for easy pointers on what to buy and what to avoid:

For shrimp and prawns, the best bet is Alaskan or Canadian wild shrimp and prawns, or failing that U.S. farmed shrimp.

If you're worried about mercury, avoid predator species (the most valuable of which is Bluefin Tuna--a single fish can fetch over $100,000 as Japanese sushi and is flown to market on ice).

Pepe wanted for questioning

And please, please, learn to love calamari. The Oceans are teeming with squid because their predators have been hunted to near extinction (95% of pre-industrial fishing stocks have been depleted).

Also, if you learn to love calamari, people will learn how to cook it. More calamari for those of us who love it already.

It's a pest to make from scratch. Squid are really slippery and you have to gut them and wash them by hand. Easy but slimy.

Prices are going up already. You used to be able to get it dirt cheap.

Reminds me of biology class in High School, when we dissected squid. Rather than ordering three dozen formaldehyde'd squid from the science supply catalog like most teachers would do, our prof went down to the local fishmonger and bought them fresh.

So, after examining the internal anatomy and structure of the common squid, our class examined the effect of breading, hot oil, lemon juice and marinara sauce. Tastiest science lesson ever.

it started a long long time ago in Switzerland, because it is a small land locked country which has had to import much of it's food for many decades.

Got any favorite brands that are easy to find? We we always buying the the ones on sale, but I saw the country of origin -- Malaysia, Vietnam, China, and thought, what are the odds there's absolutely nothing wrong with these? And then I thought, not good. Fair maybe, but not good.

I had heard that even US farmed fish was fed pelleted feed made from net caught fish that had mercury levels that would exclude them from human consumption -- if humans actually ate pelleted feed made of ground up shark.

Vietnamese-raised prawns are the latest in a long list of foods that might kill you.

If they do that when you eat them... that would be scary enough. If they mean that they can do that while they are still alive... well, that's pretty damn frightening. If they are dead, but you aren't eating them...well, farking run for your life aggghhhh zombie prawns!!!!

Definitely +1 for the prwnd.

There are super giant shrimp? As a fat man I should have been informed of this.

Hey Bevets,

....Praws have fins.

/so they're good, right?
//or is it because they're from Vietnam?
///Cuz that would be bad?
