Uncle Some,

I have only bought spot prawns from Granville Island before (I got them from those small fish boats coming twice in the weekend afternoon)and realized T&T also have them at a lower price. I just wonder if they are actually same thing so maybe I should just get them from T&T instead.

作者: ACC-HE 時間: 2011-5-5 13:21

T&T is cheaper and they still swim.

Those Gwai Lo knows nothing about freshness...

The spotted prawns event is to sell the prawns off the boats,
as least it is how they promote. Yes, T & T could be cheaper but the size is random and on the smaller side.
The high end restaurants pick the good size prawns and sell them for higher prize.
Just like you do not see any king crab over 13 Lb at T & T, just the smaller one, which
do not have a lot of meat on them.

At home,I usually steam them in bamboo steamer,
served with premium soy sauce with chili and chopped shallot, touch of lime juice.
or Barbecue with Chimichurri dipping sauce.
panfried with sweet soy sauce, tempura prawns' head

Panfried in special soy sauce, that is
premium soy sauce mixed with superior broth and Chinese rice wine

Fresh(live) seafoods are best steamed at high temperature,
BTW, they are killed before the cooking commence

not mine, they're still moving before we cook them in hotpot.

steam better? hmm.. i'll try

作者: rockypath 時間: 2011-5-9 02:22

In Asia, people will insist the prawns to be steamed or 清水煮 when they are still alive because it is 夠新鮮. They are also be able to tell whether the prawns were still alive or dead before they were cooked. Therefore, sometimes, they might insisted to exchange another dish if they believe the prawns were dead before cooking.

I'm not for PETA, however, there is reason to kill the beast or seafood
before cooking them, just to be more humane and show some respect of yourself
not being barbaric.
I always kill the lobsters before cooking the them. They are still considered fresh.
Again, there are people eating deepfried fish, while the head is still alive and
suffer, or live donkey meat noodle soup.
they claim that it taste great, but I would pass.

somewhereintime 發表於 2011-5-8 13:42

But Uncle Some,

If the shrimps are alive, how do you kill the shrimps before they get cooked? Given the large number, it seems difficult / impractical to do that wor?

I suppose you would trim the sword and the legs with scissors, right?
Just stick the knife tip through the brain and you kill them instantly.
The bodies still move but they do not feel pain anyone. RIP in your tummy

Sometime the sushi chef would toss the prawns in the
pickled ginger brine before serving. A remedy for not too great prawns.
However, do not eat the uncooked prawn heads for food safety concern.

作者: tsumorichisato 時間: 2011-5-9 14:53

I bought some spot prawns from T&T yesterday and I think it's pretty much the same thing as the ones I bought from fish boats @Granville Island but costs $2 less per lb. I was late when I got to spot prawns festival, tickets were sold out.

stick knife tip through the brain? wouldn't that cut into the 'sand bag'?? And how to preserve the "go" from leaking?
