anyone ever have shrimp sashimi before?

[evident]

I Just had sushi for dinner and i thought about when i traveled to japan. It was the only place i had shrimp sashimi and it definitely tasted weird, but different. i probably wont ever try it again because raw shrimp is known to contain parasites.

anyone else ever have this before?

Not a fan of raw shrimp, lobster, or squid. I like it cooked though.

amaebi is awesome

if you get the fried head you can tell how good the joint is by how much grease is left on the plate + how crunchy it is

 

[iGas]

yes and it was good.

Yeah, nothing too special but then again it is shrimp. Mmmm... fatty fatty tuna sashimi.

It's alright. For raw shrimp i prefer drunken shrimp

Ate a raw shrimp once. It was absolutely horrible.

Twice, I've eaten 1 or 2 raw shrimp right out of the net after catch off the coast of Louisiana... near Grand Isle to be exact.

I lived, and it actually wasn't all that bad.

And mind you, this wasn't the prepared version you speak of.

i've never seen it anywhere in the US. it was definitely unique tasting and would really like to try it again. i just read alot of places that it's a big health risk

no way, the stuff is always cooked.

tried it once

it was covered in oil and I didn't like the taste or texture. this is a pretty stupid description, but I guess it tasted like raw shrimp to me.

that's a different type of shrimp

amaebi = sweet shrimp, usually served raw except for the head, which is either fried or used in miso

you're thinking of ebi
