Amaebi nigiri enthusiasts

[letsindulge]

Had phenomenal amaebi this weekend. The spot prawns were wonderfully plump, and briny. Due to their ample size, the deep-fried heads were the largest I've encountered so far. So, how much of the head do you eat?

I eat the whole head, but I like to nibble down the delicate fried feelers first before chomping down on the head itself.

I can eat shrimp heads until my head explodes.

Who *doesn't* eat all of it??

I love fried shrimp heads - but have found a bit of a bitter spot towards the eyes - I usually stop before I get to the eyes... maybe I should try again - I'd hate to miss any yumminess.

A little bitterness can be desireable.

All of it, and depending on the sushi bar, extra heads left over from the squeamish who don't want to see them.
