We used to go crabbing with our kids - and when we caught more than we could eat would give the surplus away to friends. Now they are so expensive to buy, like so many other things - almost in the luxury class along with the crayfish.
Luckily we are able to buy good-sized prawns at a reasonable price, I have no trouble with removing their heads and overcoats (love that description, Margaret) whether raw or cooked (my 6-year-old granddaughter always insists that we leave the tails on hers!) - it's worth it to get to the meat inside.
I eat a lot of fish (hasn't done anything to help the old brain cells though - thinks that must be a myth!!!!) but we make sure any fish we buy is Australian or New Zealand. Nothing from the Mekong Delta, enough said!
