Did the fish wink at you one last time before you bit into it?

What kind of pasta sauce was on the fish?

[John Kuthe]

None on the fish, on the surround Egg Noodle dish.

Why do people always leave the tail on? Who's going to eat saucy
shrimp with their hands?

[dsi1]

It's a problem the Hawaiians face every day. The tails are left on because the shells are left on. Sometimes the heads are left on too. I'll eat any kind of shrimp. My least favorite would be shrimps that are cooked without the shell.

If you've signed up for food stamps or early Social Security, there's no
shame in getting assistance. It's just a shame you did not manage
your money wisely.

I can understand leaving the entire shell on, and see it often.
Flavour over comfort and hygiene or less work for the cook. But why
only leave the tail on??

[Thomas]

Finger food for dipping?

Yes, but if it's saucy or soupy?

[jmcquown]

No shame in it at all. Interesting he's suddenly turned into a
pescatarian who drinks liqueur.

If it didn't have a tail, it wouldn't look like a shrimp. Who the heck cooks shrimp without the tail? That's crazy talk.

Mine would be uncooked, with or without shell.

[Michael Trew]

Yesterday, I had my annual regrettable stop at Long John Silver's.
Frankly, your meal looks better. We had a platter with two pieces of
fish, one piece chicken, and three large shrimp plus a large order of
fries and two hush puppies was reasonable at under $13 out the door, but
it was horridly greasy, as I remember it. So much food that Sophia and
I could barely finish it all.

I don't know what's on the menu tonight, but I have a large head of
cabbage in the fridge, and I think it's begging to be chopped up and
cooked with butter, kielbasa, and tossed with egg noodles.

[Michael Trew]

I agree. If it's saucy, the tail left on is a mess to eat. I'm told
they do it because cooking with the tail on imparts more flavor, but the
tails and shells would be best saved for a seafood broth or something else.

As finger food, you'll just have to commit to losing that little bit of
the meat.

Next time use the butter on the fish and the pasta sauce on the
egg noodles.

Fish with spaghetti sauce - YUM! <BARF>

There are some good mediteranean fish (cod usuall;y) with a
tomato-and-other-stuff (olives, capers, etc..), but tis wasn't one
of them.

LIAR! You had over-cooked mystery fish smothered in spaghetti

That's not the issue. The question is why it's there.

[Sqwertz]

God, I hate places that seasons, bread, batters, and/or sauces
and serves as a dish with the shells still in tact.
Those shrimp aren't evil cleaned or the EZ-Peel.

I have some cabbage. I'll plan on making some canned corn beef and cabbage. That's old style Hawaiian cooking. I tested out my old wok last night with some pork and eggplant. It was some fun. The eggplant was steamed first. I'll make a bigger batch tonight. I have to be careful with eggplant - my blood sugar dropped into the 50's so I was eating candy at 1 o'clock in the morning.
The same is true with bitter melon. I love eggplant and bitter melon. Unfortunately, bitter melon is going for $5.49/lb at the moment.

It looks great and I'm sure it tastes great. Just have a shower
afterwards or you'll be a shrimp for the rest of the day.

[dsi1]

I bought some head-on shrimp yesterday. Perhaps I'll make some salt and pepper shrimp. I'm on a wok jag and there some things you have to make when you wok.

[jmcquown]

It's used as a handle. Think shrimp cocktail. The shrimp is peeled and
cooked and, at least the way I recall the presentation from when I was a
kid, the shrimp hung over the side of a glass that contained cocktail
sauce for dipping. There was a small plate on the side for discarding
the tails after dipping and eating the shrimp.

And choking down or savoring the mud-vein. Different strokes, I guess.
I have a Western U.S. view on shellfish. I like 'em gutted before they
hit my plate.

You call that mud? :)

You can get shrimp in the shell, yet gutted.

Purged, perhaps. Think of a gutted rabbit without a broken skin.
Or, we're talking apples and oranges. If a shrimp isn't E-Z peel, I have
a tool that takes care of the mud-vein and shell. Mud vein? Let's call
it a poop chute.

They (or you) make a narrow incision along the back with a sharp
knife, pull the poop chute out and leave the shell otherwise intact.
Best of both worlds.

I failed "Crustacean Surgery 101", and qualified surgeons are expensive.
I have sucked the heads in New Orleans once, but those were crawdads.
I also ate soft shelled blue crabs once. I felt I was gut munching.
That was enough. Right or wrong, I was through.
Although it would save Mother Gaia, I ain't solid with eating bugs for
dinner for the same reason.
I ain't a guts guy, except for sausage skins. I enjoyed fifty percent of
the snails I've eaten. I've eaten them twice.
To each, their own.

[Cindy Hamilton]

There typically isn't much in that final section of tail. I've never
found it to be gritty.

No knifes just crack the shell in one bite and chomp the meat.

Free with a pole and worm:
"Favorite sport fish include walleye, sauger, largemouth bass, smallmouth bass, channel catfish, northern pike, bluegill and crappies. On the Mississippi River, you don't necessarily need a boat to catch them! "

Says googs.

[Leonard Blaisdell]

It's not the texture, it's the thought. Having said that, I peel and eat
the last segment of a shrimp and devour whole raw oysters.
Apparently, I pick and choose my offal. So be it.
