You'll never know the delights of langoustine (Dublin Bay prawn/Norwegian lobster). Cooked fresh off the boat; pull head (with beady little eyes) off, crack carapace and remove legs, pull arse-end off, dip in fresh mayo and devour with salad and hand-cut chips. The finest fud in the whole world.
I usually eat the head as well !

I have these when I'm in Sweden, landed that morning in Varberg (the Swedes call them Swedish lobster). Absolutely delicious. You really should eat the contents of the head, too. I've never quite worked out whether they call it the 'butter' or the 'batter', but it's absolutely divine.

Ordinarily I'd agree at the very notion of it. Not sure how I first plucked up courage to try it. Well, actually, I am. There was a drink involved. ;)

Really, no joking?
It does always look criminal, the pile of shell that's left over, like you've wasted half the ocean's bounty. So how do you get the head bits out; do you crack it open with the pliers, or does it just scoop out?

Aye, just use the spoon end of your thingi-ma-gig. I have seen people simply suck the contents out, but that's not for me really.

Something else I get served when I'm there is 'Swedish Caviar', which is this orange stuff, below.

I've no idea which fish it comes from but it's served with Blinis, creme fresh and finely chopped shallots - washed down with a glass or two of Champagne. 4ucking heavenly! 8)

I think it's a sturgeon, similar but different to Russian Caspian Beluga. They had it in Sainsbury's about six months ago - in that (very expensive) world specialities section they have, you know the one where they have £20 olive oil and strange canned mushrooms from China. Well I bought a jar of Swedish caviar and as you say it was smashyphantasmagorious. (Bit orange though. Kind of put me off slightly).

It's brilliant on toast and I thought I was being a pleb (word of the week) when I'd had it like that at a barbie first time I ate it; but then I discovered years later, when at a British Council do abroad, that that's how the toffs eat it too.
