Gene would those things be any good to eat? If so there may be a

If these are the same tiger shrimp, they are likely to be what you get

in a lot of places (the black and gray ones at the store)

I have to believe, game fish like to eat them. I guess it depends on

where they are showing up and if they are competing with native

shrimp.

I didn't realize these are the same as 'black prawns"

Thanks!


I am assuming they must be quite tastey as "how they are for eating" is
conspicuously left out of most of the reports I am seeing... If they
didn't taste as good as the tiny little shrimp we have now, I think you
would be hearing that...

They taste "fine," but they don't taste the same as the Florida shrimp I
used to net, or the shrimp the Safeway sells.

I love shrimp but after reading about "farm raised" I've given them up.
Yuk.



Don't go near tilapia, then.

We usually had a several week edible shrimp season in NE Florida. It's
why I bought and finally learned how to use a cast net. Free-swimming
shrimp, not farm-raised.

In those days, the "farm-raised" shrimp were sold to the bait stores.
You could buy a dozen for a dollar. Live. Great bait for the smaller
fish, like whiting, flounder, redfish, porgies, et cetera.
