What is the Difference between Shrimp and Prawns?

Thawing and cooking shrimps

Many consumers and restaurants use the terms “shrimp” and “prawns” interchangeably.

Starting with the similarities can help to highlight the differences between shrimp and prawns. Both are decapod crustaceans, meaning that they have exoskeletons and 10 legs. They can be found in salt and fresh water all over the world, typically swimming in search of food. Both shrimp and prawns tend to stay near the ocean floor. They also have similar flavors, and come in a wide range of sizes from minuscule to quite large.

Culinarily, many people distinguish between shrimp and prawns on the basis of size. “Prawns” are considered to be larger, while shrimp are smaller. In terms of biology, however, things get a bit more complex, since shrimp and prawns are in different suborders, indicating key biological differences between the two. Prawns are in the suborder Dendobranchiata, while shrimp are classified as Pleocyemata.

Shrimp is an extremely popular seafood because of its versatility and easy preparation. Some shrimp is frozen raw, and other shrimp is de-veined, peeled, lightly cooked and then frozen.

To cook frozen shrimp, you must first correctly thaw the shrimp. Cooking with shrimp is easy, but you must take care to thaw the frozen shrimp correctly to avoid bacterial growth on the meat.

A good tip for quickly thawing frozen shrimp is for one to place the frozen shrimp in a bowl of cold water for about 20 minutes, changing the water a couple of times as the shrimp thaws.

Cooking with seafood is easy, and with shrimp you can let your creativity soar with a variety of dishes. After the raw shrimp is prepared, you can sauté the shrimp, bake them, grill them, boil them, add them to a soup or recipe or chop them for stuffing vegetables. Shrimp cooks very quickly, usually within three to four minutes for medium-sized shrimp. When the shrimp turn pink, they are cooked.

When you cook shrimp, try to avoid overcooking them. This can cause them to become tough or rubbery. Shrimp is done cooking when it becomes completely opaque. Pink or orange markings will also appear.

One of the best tips for grilling shrimp is to choose large or jumbo shellfish, as these tend to hold up well to the heat of a grill. It is also important to clean and devein the shrimp while still leaving the shell intact to ensure that the meat does not dry out. While marinating shrimp prior to grilling is a good way to impart flavor, over-marinating can lead to rubbery shellfish. In general, shrimp need to be contained on a skewer or inside of a grilling grate to prevent them from falling through the grates of the grill. Cooking over medium to low heat and making sure that the shrimp is not overcooked are also important parts of grilling shrimp.

Many people prefer marinades to season before grilling shrimp. As this type of protein is extremely delicate, it is important not to marinate it in any acid for too long, including vinegar, wine, or citrus juices. The acid in these ingredients can begin to pickle or cook the shrimp before it ever reaches the grill, making the finished product rubbery and dry.

Among the various methods for roasting shrimp, oven-roasting is the most common. Like all roasting methods, it involves using the proper amount of heat. The best temperature for roasting shrimp generally is 400-500 degrees Fahrenheit (about 200-260 degrees Celsius). Outside of this range, the results can be less predictable.

Shrimp giant or scampi, for example, is fried in butter, spices, and seasonings. Breaded or battered shrimp can also be deep fried in hot oil. If the shrimp are slid onto skewers, they can also be cooked on a grill.

Fish forms and species

Production

«Friendship» fish range is produced in China. China does not harvest, instead, countries export raw material to China to be thawed and re-processed into frozen fillets, loins and other product forms. The Chinese processing industry benefits from large and very efficient production units and extremely competitive labor and production cost.

Package

All «Friendship» fish species are packed in 5 kg boxes and IQF (individually quick frozen).

Wholefish Also caled a 'fish in the round" this is a fish sold exactly how it comes out of the water and is typically iced. A dressed wholefish is similar. The main difference between a dressed fish and a wholefish is that the dressed fish will have its entrails removed and the gill may or may not be present.

H&G Headed and gutted, the fish's entrails are removed and usually the fish's gill are removed; for some species, the skin is also removed.

Fillet Cut that can be described as the side flesh of the fish. It is a slice of meat that starts from behind the head down to the tail. The fillet can be with or without pinbones, skin on or skin-off; the main purpose of trying to take out as many bones as possible. Types of fillets: V-cut: pinbone is removed along with the strip of flesh that is below the lateral line and 1/3 of the way back from the head. J-cut: Lile the V-cut the pinbones are removed and the nape section of the fish is also removed. The nape is below the lateral line just before the belly. This part of the fish is a fattier piece and tends to disintergrate when it is cooked.

Loin Loins are usually taken from larger fish such as tuna, swordfish or cod. The loins is the cut from above the lateral line from behind the head of the fish through the backbone to before the caudal pentacle where the body meets the tail. This cut is usually quite uniform in thickness and it typically used for further processing into steaks.

Portion From a fillet, these are usually cut into smaller more individual sections which are normally sized in ounces. A portion can be pinbone-in or pinbone-out. This cus is especially popular in foodservice.

Both Athlantic and Pacific cod possess transculent white meat which becomes opaque when cooked.

Fish Fact: Cod stocks in the North Atlantic have suffered significantly. In effort to keep cod as a mainstay the worldwide markets, Norwegian fish farmer have gone to develop aquacultured cod. While the evolution of farmed cod is in its infance, it may grow to become as popular as farmed salmon.

In the CEPHALOPODS group the three major types that are purchased and consumed are:

Pulpo/Octopus, Sepia/Cuttlefish & Calamari/Squid.

The value for cephalopods lies not only in the versatile applications but also in the low cost of the product. Cleaned squid, octopus and cuttlefish are all 100% usable and cost a reasonable amount compared to other proteins. This is one category where the three mantras of value, versatility and variety all apply.

Application: Many people do not understand the difference between these three and tend to lump them all together. However each type is a distinct animal. Cooking methods can be quite similar but there are distinctive characteristics to each.

Pulpo or Octopus:

Sold as large cleaned (each individual octopus weighs one to several pounds) or baby cleaned (several octopi per one pound). These are typically boiled for salad or stewed in tomato sauce and transcend several cuisines: South American, Mediterranean and Asian etc. The cooked meat is chewy but flavorful. The tentacles are quite long and are cut into pieces while the head meat is sliced.

Sepia or Cuttlefish: This cephalopod is not as well known in the USA as its cousins the squid or octopus. However, in Europe and Asia, this is the prized cephalopod for flavor and consistency. The animal is a cross between both the squid and octopus in appearance. The thick meat cooks up snow white and is tender with a subtle flavor. It is delicious when grilled or stewed but is just as tasty fried or boiled. The tentacles are shorter and the body (or tube) is where the thick slices come from. Once again the forms sold in the marketplace are either: large cleaned, large uncleaned or baby cleaned.

Calamari or Squid: Most everyone knows this cephalopod. The tube and tentacles are fried or the tube is stuffed. Product is sized by tube length and there are many tubes or tubes & tentacles per pound. Squid is a versatile product that is not strongly flavored, but considered by many to possess a kind of sweetness. The meat is tender and succulent. Frozen tubes should be ivory-white throughout and have no distinct odore. Squid is processed into tubes, rings and strips. Steaks, circular pieces cut from the mantles of large squid and usually tenerlezed.

Green Mussel

Item number Product name Size Package Origin Package shot

103217 NEW ZEALAND HALFSHELF MUSSELS IQF

30/45 in kg 12 X 1 kg New Zealand

Scientific name: Perna canaliculus

Common name: Greenshell Mussel

Fishing method: Aquaculture, dredge

Season: All year

Top countries of supply: New Zealand

Eating qualities: The plump tender meat is creamy white when the mussel is male and apricot to orange when the mussel is female. Flavor is not distinguised by color, and the flavor of both is superb.

Applications: The sweet and delicate flavor of the green mussel compliments many cuisines styles. Tender and juicy when properly prepared, green mussels have a distinctive flavor that lies somewhere between clams and oysters.

In Belgium, the Netherlands, and France, mussels are consumed with french fries ( «moules frites») or bread. In Belgium, mussels are often served with fresh herbs and flavorful vegetables in a stock of butter and white wine.

Fish Fact: Green mussel meat looks similar to blue mussel meat but, because the mussels are generally larger, it tends to taste more succulent. TEXTURE

Sea Scallop

Item number Product name Size Package Origin Package shot

106111 US SCALLOPS IQF

10/20 in lbs 10 X 1 kg USA

Scientific name: Placopecten magellanicus

Common name: Sea Scallop

Fishing method: Aquaculture, dredge

Season: All year

Top countries of supply: USA, Canada

Eating qualities: The meat of a sea scallop is nearly translucent, with a creamy look. It is shaped like a small patty. Sometimes pink and brown spots accent the meat. Cooked meat becomes opaque. The meat is sweet, ranging from mild to salty. It is plamp and possesses a near-firm texture.

Applications: Scallops are delicate and require very litte cooking. Overcooking is a common offense that detracts from the taste and texture. In Western cuisine, scallops are commonly sautéed in butter, or else breaded and deep fried.

Fish Fact: The name «scallop» is derived from the Old French escalope, which means «shell».

Health benefits of eating seafood

Health benefits associated with seafood consumption and levels of supporting evidence

Frozen vs fresh seafood

Importance of seafood in the diet has extended from its image as a cornerstone of a healthy diet, to more specialised roles in disease prevention. Research over the past few decades has shown that the nutrients and minerals in seafood can make improvements in brain development and reproduction and has highlighted the role for seafood in the functionality of the human body.

Seafood is healthy, with high content af:

• Vitamin D

• Iodine

• Selen

• Fish oiles – N-3 and Omega 3 fatty acids It has been observed that the consumption of two or more serves of seafood per week is associated with a lower prevalence of heart disease.

With regards to nutrition frozen seafood is just as good as fresh seafood

• Vitamins and minerals remain intact also when seafood is frozen

• Frozen seafood is often frozen shortly after catch or harvest, and because of this, it is often more ”fresh” than fresh seafood.
