Not King Prawns
 

I ordered King Prawns from a local takeaway at the weekend and was served up what look like turkey twizzlers! This ruined my meal as I am a bit of a foodie and for all of adult life (59) have cooked most meals from scratch. I know what a king prawn looks like!
I called the takeaway to complain but was fobbed off with lame excuses.
They look like a member of the whelk family. (sea snail)
Its happened before at another takeaway in Accrington.
I certainly won't be ordering them again.
Has anyone else encountered these "king prawns"?

Yes, I've come across them, only ever had these monstrosities served up at Asian take aways, fortunately the Chinese still know the quality of their prawns.
