Does anyone know - when you buy cheap prawns... what is the black nasty stringy bit that runs along their 'backs'.... Is it Prawn Poo?????
I notice some prawns dont have it and some do - so wondered what it was!!!!

For small prawns/shripms it is normal to eat the whole prawn (minus head and shell!), but with large prawns or langoustines, then if it is big enough to remove easily then you should do so. The ones with no black lines must have already had it removed, only possible if the shell is off already.
