Well, for me that s**t started about 60 years ago. No I don't eat the damn shells. I do pull the meat out.

That would be like leaving the crust on a watercress-butter sandwich. **shudder**

I did when I was a kid, now I don't (probably because nobody does it).

Quoted:
When I was about 5 years old we got together for a big family dinner out at a restaurant. They put a huge plate of shrimp down in front of me and promptly forgot I was there as they returned to their conversation. About 15 minutes later somebody figured out there weren't any more shrimp nor were there any tails left on my plate and there was a minor freak out. I was no worse for wear though. ETA: I haven't eaten any tails since then though. View Quote |

I’ve been to a couple of Chinese restaurants that had some kind of tiny shrimp with an extremely thin shell that had to have been flash fried or something. There was no batter, head and they’d had the vein taken out. You were supposed to eat the whole thing.
Outside of those, I don’t eat the shell. |

Quoted:
Yep, definitely the tail. I prefer to have head-on shrimp and eat the head too.

When did it start you ask? Probably when the first person ate a shrimp tail 50,000 yrs ago and realized they taste like shit, and they’d have to be starving to ever do it again.
Damn that’s wrong. Has to be a troll thread. Has to be. |

I also don't eat the bones or toe nails of any critters. |

On small fish, anchovies and other little preserved fish, yeah I eat the scales. Trying to descale a sardine would suck. |
|
Yes, I eat tails. No, I do not eat shells. Do you eat shells, scales, etc of other creatures?
|
|
I'd eat the tails of fried shrimp when I was a kid because I didn't know any better. I've never seen an adult purposely eat the tails of shrimp.
|
|
Us RICH folk don't eat the shells.... I tell my chef.. BEGONE with those shells.... And they disappear!
|
|
If the shrimp is fried and crispy and there is lots of good batter then yes I will eat the tails.
Cooked any other way, hell no. Nasty b |
|
|
WTF OP
Why stop at the tail, eat the whole fucking thing shell and all! |
|
|
I eat the heads but not the tails. Tons of flavor in the heads of many varieties of seafood.
|
|
OP, are you Chinese?
Those are the only folks I've seen eat things like shrimp whole with the tails and fish with the bones in it. I gotta tell you, shrimp tails are mild to me compared to trying to eat fucking fish with bones in it. I really don't know how they can do that. I get a complex about stuck fish bones jabbing me in my throat just thinking about it. |

Jesus, some of the responses.
Is it that big of a deal? Sardines get eaten whole. Lots of places fry the whole damn shrimp. It's kind of funny how you guys are talking about how eating the shell is gross, meanwhile nobody is discussing the fact that shrimp are basically the cockroaches of the sea. Which is great, I think they're fucking delicious. And oh, it's even better when you wrap them in bacon and smoke them. Do what you all want. But some of you need to hike up your skirts a bit. There's a whole nother world out there besides how's they serve the shit at sizzler and red lobster. |
