We raised rainbow trout, talapia, catfish and "Macro Brachia" .. or South Vietnamese river shrimp. All in the name of science. The trout were good, and we could not wait for the bounty of shrimp! But wait, each day there seemed to be a shrimp or two missing till one evening the mystery was solved. They were cannibal shrimp and when it came down to the last two, my boss informed me that he and his wife found them quite tasty, being the size of small lobsters.<br /><br />Skipper<br /><br />Argggggg me hearties, twas' a great place for a lover of seafood to work; free trout fillets, smoked trout and in early winter a catfish fillet is wonderful when deep fried.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2002743286940663121.post-47835980517873964682012-05-11T08:08:55.801-04:002012-05-11T08:08:55.801-04:00Joey: Happy to have you for dinner last night, gl...Joey: Happy to have you for dinner last night, glad you enjoyed the shrimp.

Sadly, they are getting hard to get.<br /><br />What gets Skip's dander up is ordering a crab or shrimp dish like crab salad and finding no crab or shrimp but "tsurimi" which is basically smashed pollock bits with a bit of crab and binders made to look like it. Kind of a be-all fish paste .... Darned it, when I order crab or shrimp that is what I expect? Wife says I am being "picky". Arggggggggggggg!<br /><br />SkipAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
