Nobody said shrimp? Prawn is close but not really the same. I like them breaded and crunchy, otherwise soaked in garlic


"Prawn" is the word that Brits and Aussies use for the critter Americans call "shrimp". They are the same animal. Or thats my understanding of it.

I'm from south Louisiana & seafood is pretty big there compared to the rest of the country. I liked fried shrimp & fish the best; fish like Catfish & Perch are the most common but there's lots of others I ate that are really good. People I met/knew in Louisiana who travel say they don't like the seafood that's in other states because it's not good & I think they are rite. I moved to Vermont in November to be with my girlfriend & the seafood here is NOT the same. Things on the menus are very different like baked haddock & scallops. I tried fried shrimp from one seafood place & it had no flavor.

I'm in Australia and I think some people here seem to refer to medium to larger-sized (meatier) ones as "prawns" and smaller shelly ones as "shrimps". I could be wrong, but that's the distinction I make between prawns and shrimps.

I have had this squid dish in Thai restaurants. Cooked and cooled squid pieces with coriander leaves, raw onion and hot tangy sauce etc. I can't remember exactly what else was in it, but it seems quite common in Thai restaurants as a side dish. It's extremely tasty.

I definitely love all seafood, shell creatures, fish of any kind. But I never had Louisiana style catfish before, and wondering what it tastes like? Does it have a strong flavor? I am curious about Cajun Creole cuisine and seafood.

You might be right about prawns.

Was gonna mention calamari. Sounds like the Thai do squid atleast as well as the Italians!

I mostly only had Louisiana so I cant make a comparison but we have more spices so adds to the flavor alot & I think the seafood here would taste different own it's own sense it comes from different water

Fish sticks, lots of tartar sauce!
,
Deep fried oysters or scallops, lots of tarter sauce!

Tuna melt!breaded, baked cod, lots of tartar sauce!

Used to be a 'Sizzler', all-you-can-eat steak and lobster place down the street, years ago; I just wanted the lobster tail!

And I like quite a bit else too. Was a late discoverer of sushi, I was always hesitant about the seaweed. But I am a big fan now. I love fish and chips, although I find that I only really care about the fish part. Also shrimp, a Mexican food place near me serves killer Fajitas Camarones. And any sort of seared, pepper-crusted fish steak. :chef:
