    I hate to tell you this, but no matter how they prepare the crustaceans, the little black line towards their back end…

        You can, and no one does. They drop them in tanks that are clean and purge them, and leave the poop.

        Are you thinking of the store bought, deshelled shrimp?

        Crawdads, crabs, lobsters, fresh shrimp, etc… the vein is staying in.

        If it’s fresh, and they’re working in a restaurant, they DO NOT have the time to do that. I say that from experience.

        Fun fact, did you know squids have what looks like a piece of plastic inside them?

        Second fun fact: some places use a giant shallow barrel to soak their rice in vinegar. It goes in the fridge between uses so it doesn’t go bad.

          Idk where you’re getting the nowhere does info, unless it is a regional thing somehow. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a restaurant not devein things, and only a couple times have I seen people leave them in for home cooked stuff

            I’m not even a fan of seafood, but my understanding is that anything of notable size will be deveined. Unless you’re talking little popcorn shrimp sized things, which for that I think they “purge” and then call it good enough because with all the seasoning/breading there wouldn’t be enough to notice.

            Again, nothing I have any interest in eating, but I’ve watched a lot of cooking shows.
