Title: Do any of you eat the tails on your shrimp?
Post by: Al Doggity on May 04, 2017, 11:07:48 AM
At one of my previous jobs, we did a lot of business with asian countries and I had to travel to korea and japan occasionally. On one trip to Japan, a client told me that it's common to eat the tails on shrimp and I've been doing it ever since, largely because I always thought it was classless and disgusting to pick off the tails and leave a plate of them.  Anyway, fast forward to lunch today and a Benetton's ads worth of co-workers (two of whom were of asian descent) seemed shocked that I ate the tails on shrimp.  The thing is I've seen other people doing this since I started, so I didn't think it was so strange.  Am I weird, getbig?

Sounds gross but I've never tried it.  I can't really declare you weird based on this issue alone.

It's not that bad. I'm not going to say it's anything you've been missing out on if you haven't been eating them, but I never feel like I'm choking them down. They have a decent crispiness.

Have done it by accident a few times, it's not pleasant. It's like getting a ball of gristle in a sausage, or a bone shard in your chop meat, certainly a palate reset.

Use them for broth. Any crustacean shells can add amazing flavor to a soup dish.

Yes, putting shrimp tails in your pocket won't look weird during a business lunch.  ;D

I didn't think eating shrimp tails made me look classy and cultured, I just always thought pulling them off or spitting them was not great table etiquette, so when I was introduced to a custom that dealt with an issue I already had, I said to myself "Hey, maybe I'll do this". Hardly grapefruit fucking.  ::)

I was going to bring that up for those cooking at home.  I store shrimp and other seafood shells in the freezer until I have enough to make stock.  It's great for paella, seafood gumbo, jambalaya or other seafood based dishes and soups.

No point in eating the tails as they offer no nutritional value.

I think the tail is good. Like the crunch, others I understand might think this is gross.

Eating the tails or the shells of shrimp and other shellfish is actually very good for you. It is made of chitin, a sugar like polymer that has been shown to give a myriad of health benefits, including keeping you lean:
