I do it at sushi restaurants but kind of scared to buy a pound of prawns at my local seafood store and eat it like that myself. It's like... Drinking the tank water if you eat them raw.

that i dont know. i would prob advise against it lol

if you are buying sashimi grade frozen prawns, and you thaw them out, you can eat every part of the prawn when it is thawed. if you are buying from a seafood store like T&T or one of those smaller seafood retailers, i would def not try to eat the prawns raw. but if you were to buy from me, or any of the other federally licensed seafood processors, then you should be safe.

we all have our water tested regularly, and have UV systems installed that kill any bacteria present in our tanks.
