In reply to the discussion: The Ick in Your Shrimp [View all]Luminous Animal
(27,310 posts)26. K&R. I remember growing up that shrimp was a special dish because it was expensive...
now that it is farmed, people are gobbling it up along with a lot of ick. For many years I was a vegetarian and then a few years ago I started adding fish to my diet. I used to love shrimp but when I started eating it again, I noticed an odd iodine-like flavor in my throat. I was bummed because shrimp was really something I was looking forward to eating again. Then a friend told be about farmed shrimp... I really didn't know... and that perhaps the flavor I detected was a result of the growing conditions.
I still eat shrimp but very rarely because I now buy "line caught" and it is expensive.
