I quite like Thai food, but unfortunately we have no plans for an office there, as we can support Thailand from KL.

Do the prawns really come out of the sea that colour? I'd be led to think that they were boiled onboard but they are mixed with other fish and stuff. Perhaps they go red when exposed to the sun?
I can understand them going pink in lemon juice (cerviche).

LOL, you bet!
Well, not all of them actually.There are also "white" and "pink" shrimps - whilst these are called unsurprisingly "red". Dunno if the same distinction by colours is used in English, though.
White ones are also much smaller, around here at least.
And then there are scampi, but they're another ...ermm... kettle of fish!
Red shrimps and scampi are my favourites by far, particularly to eat raw. Yum...!

Oh yes we have scampi....
Ours our made out of the leftovers after Italians have had all the decent bits. They're mushed together then deep fried.

Mushed together?!? Now, that should be criminally prosecutable!
Otoh, deep fried is ok, but if you can grab some fresh scampi they would be a tad wasted...
If in doubt whether they're fresh enough to eat raw (which means fished a couple of days before max, and properly stored at almost freezing temperature), just boil them!

Ab-so-lu-te-ly.something like this ?
Gorgeous dish indeed. No need to ask if you had it in IT or HR. There's a nice tablecloth, to start with...

What's that tool?

What's what?
and please stop calling me a tool
Could be a primitive prawn deveiner/peeler(although they are no MATCH for mine,
) or just a serving tool for dishing them out, though I could be completely wrong.

Can we get back to Match please?
Come on chaps, you are doing this on the wrong forum. Come Dine With Me is more suited to The Lounge. Now, JFM, what is going on with Match?

As JFM appears to be busy and hasn't answered, this thread would be on page 3 by now and relegated to the annals of history..............prawns and such are keeping it alive and at the top of page 1, where JFM has a good chance of seeing it upon his return.

Well just to keep it going a little longer
This is what was on offer on Satuday in Kaohsuing harbour. I don't know what half of it was so stuck to boiled rice and veg. Something about slugs and fish intestines !. Clients loved it though, all 22 plates of it in various guises.

At least the lobster and crab were!, not sure about the crevettes.
Cant get any fresher

I am very cautious about what I eat in China, and only stick to the veg. Otherwise they expect you to eat the fish head/tail/gills/etc. Lots of nice meat on a fish, so I think they give us Long Noses the rubbish for a laugh.
