Now I enjoy Sylver Fishing Co.'s pot-caught Alaskan spot prawns once or twice a year. <BR/><BR/>I would consider eating these tasty looking African monsters IF the african village in which they were raised was not 6000 miles away!

However, I fear that it sounds too good to be true, and I don't know anything about Seaver other than what I've read on this blog, so I would do more research before eating it.
