Squid or prawns?

[Cameron_R]

I saw both at the supermarket in the frozen section today and given that neither of them are being fished into extinction (yet) like many other fishes, my interest was sparked.

Just wondering if anyone knows the protein content/levels of both squid and prawns? Are they worthy of inclusion in a BB'ers eating plan?

Anyone here a regular eater of either as part of their diet?

Let me google that for you,

I haven't seen 'let me google that for you' before! LOL

So does anyone currently have squid or prawns in their diet regularly?

It's cheaper than most fish!

I don't eat a lot of them but they are a good source of protein and another way to get some variety into your protein intake.

Not sure about price? The frozen stuff maybe cheaper than fresh fish but it probably won't taste as good either.

fresh is best :grin:

yeah, I was comparing the packs of frozen hoki vs the frozen squid, or prawns.

Being an outsider to this whole BBing thing, I'm surprised they're not more widely used.

Oh well. Maybe I'll start a revolution :wink:

I hope shrimps aren't being fished to extinction; I eat them every other day. I read they're 30g protein per 150g shrimps (and the same with most finfish). I know shrimps are imported from Aus . . . which would deter me but I love 'em. My wife convinced me to get the frozen hoki the other day, though, which is delicious with a bit of soy sauce. :>

I picked up a horrible bag of shrimps the other week that was only 15g protein per 150g. WTF is with that?

After having fresh squid rings the frozen stuff tastes like rubber. Only been lucky enough to net about 3 fresh squid though

We caught 2 squid over New Year. They were absolutely delicious. Cameron, you need to try this squid recipe with your frozen squid, and tell me if it's as good. :nod:
