Phot.Helgoland.North.Sea.Seabirds.01.070903.1207.jpg

German Helgoland, “Fisherman’s Friends”, …not really, "Gourmet Seagulls" following a "Krabbenfischer", a North Sea fishing trawler for the tiny delicate shrimps.

 

Well, …the seagulls are no food-despiser, they know what is good & how to catch an easy snack.

But they are not only chasing for easy food catch on sea, the seagulls on the North Sea coast have developed the skills to pounce on the surprised tourists in flight to steal their food from their hands. Whereby it makes no difference whether is it a fish roll, hot French fries, slice of pizza, a hot dog or even ice cream in a cone-waffle,

…however, so far the "Coffee to go" is not on their menu,…yet.

 

"Nordseekrabben", in English "Brown Shrimp", in French "Crevette Gris", are like many former "poor people's meals", developed into a delicacy, same as herring or caviar, the "North Sea Shrimps" are now a real luxury, the kg price peeled tails depending on the season vary between 60 to 80 € & about 70$ to 95$ US.

 

On board of the trawler, the freshly caught, fast perishable North Sea prawns are cooked in the salty sea water, which gives the prawns their pink to red-brown colour, their special aroma & sweetness.

 

!! 👉 👉 Unfortunately, the Krabben, "Brown Shrimp", "Crevette Gris" are driven to Morocco by refrigerated truck, peeled there & then back to Germany by truck, this process takes 8 to 10 days

Since the Krabben are very delicate, therefor preventively during this time, they are prepared several times with preservatives so that they do not spoil

This is really environment friendly, ... enjoy your meal.

👉 Krabben, "Brown Shrimp", "Crevette Gris" are only fresh available directly in the harbour from the trawler or a nearby shop. You then have to peel them yourself, but they only cost with the shell less than 10% of the "touristic Krabben", one has to take in consideration there will be about 60% shell-waste,

 

👉 One World one Dream,

🙏...Danke, Xièxie 谢谢, Thanks, Gracias, Merci, Grazie, Obrigado, Arigatô, Dhanyavad, Chokrane to you & over
