CaptC Posted October 6, 2023 Report Share Posted October 6, 2023 The small frozen prawns are awful - they are like chewing gum that's been scraped off the road. Not being a environmetalist moaner but all prawns, large and small come from the Far East. Crevettes as per our French ex Euro friends are, on the other hand, fresh and delicious!Β Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
