Great story! But you know, a couple of years ago I was in Denmark on business in the summer. I had a great time drinking Danish beer and eating Danish ham in Denmark. Great stuff. One day I was in a restaurant for lunch and ordered a shrimp salad plate. When it came I saw the tiny little shrimp we get here at home in January and February. I asked the waiter where they came from, thinking perhaps they were frozen (though they didn't seem to have been) and from here. He said they were fresh "Fjord" shrimp. He and I both laughed and commented how we had often wondered where these little shrimp went when our respective shrimping seasons were over.

A friend of mine who is a former biologist successfully put me off shrimp and prawns for life quite recently. We were at a press launch and when the waitress brought over some free shrimp and dips, I eagerly tucked in.

I asked him why he refused to accept the offer and he replied: "Basically, what you are eating is an underwater cockroach."

I haven't had one since although I did have lobster on Christmas Day.
