At a restaurant that I had not previously been to, I ordered the house seafood soup. I did not mind that the little clams with their shells as there was an empty plate for the debris, but the large shrimp [prawns] were still whole with their heads and unpeeled shells. The legs were rather crunchy and I had very messy fingers from shucking most of the other carapace away, but had no knife for removing that big dark vein that runs down the back. I had no problems with any of the other creatures in the soup.
