Prawns or Shrimps

[blackmage_nuke]

OMFG You jerks Pike already TOLD you they were different and you're still squabbling like five year olds.

Seriously you guys, this thread may as well be "Do you call them lawn mowers or vacuums?" Totally not the same.

Well sooooorrry we dont all pull in high figure CK salaries to spend our time checking the gill structures of our ocean creatures in order to implement correct etymology when discussing seafood. Some of us need to resort to substandard referencing to allow for our busy schedules.

Also I call big ones (about the size of my thumb) prawns, and little ones (anything less than half my thumb) shrimp since the word shrimp is more synonymous with small than prawn.
