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!

Visit your local neighborhood oriental market and you'll find them, big
ones, on ice and ready to take home.

I wish we had one around here, but I'd say the closest one would probably be 80-100 mi. away. If we did have one I'd probably dig out the electric wok and get heavy with it. Then again, I think we can get frozen prawn at the local IGA. already de-veined and ready to grill.


I'll have to check that out.

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.

Tiger shrimp are fairly tasteless.
They are certainly not as good as wild caught Gulf shrimp but most
people have forgotten what they taste like.
Shrimp usually gets buried in stronger flavors anyway.
It is like Tilapia, a bland white puck of protein like substance but
it gets spiced, marinated and grilled or fried so people don't notice.


Too bad they don't taste good...

Besides, a clean hull and drive make the boats performance a lot more efficient.

Invasive species are really getting to be a problem everywhere and

anything we can do to limit the spread is worth doing.

Yeah, we've got those weird flying carp in the mid-western rivers now...

Those things are bad... Like 20 pound mosquitoes that can kill you...

Yes they are bad, Scott. Last summer a friend of mine mid-state got hit by one jumping in the boat. It whacked him on the calf of his right upper arm and bruised it hard. From then on when he the boat, the kid wears a life jacket and a motorcycle helmet.
