Like a lot of seafood then.

Large fishes are able to be cleaned so you can choose those.

Oh absolutely. That’s why I said “a lot of seafood” and not all seafood.

As a kid I was grossed out by ‘the black line’ on shrimp/prawns but these days I don’t care.

I guess wiping baby butts and picking up my dog’s crap has made me a bit more tolerant of these things. :D

Haha. Well I guess the silver lining is that so long it is not proven to be harmfull healthwise it should be ok. It still grosses me out though. Maybe one day I will be brave enought to accept 2% shit in my food so long it is well cooked.

Most fish, shrimp, lobster are prepared so that you aren't eating the intestines. The closest seafood-with-intact-intestines I can think of off the top of my head that makes it to the table is crawfish, and de-veining them is a part of the eating process

Honestly I think every time I’ve had shrimp, the vast majority have still had the vein.

King prawns are a bit different - at least they’re large enough for deveining to be practical.
