Most often larger in size than saltwater varieties, the prawn will have a longer and narrower body than other shrimp and contain meat that is very similar in texture and taste.
Prawns should be kept alive or frozen and eaten as soon as possible since it does not take long for the meat to break down and become mushy.
Smaller crustaceans that are traditionally known as prawns include Danish lobsters, Norway lobsters, Dublin Bay prawns, Italian scampi, and a variety of different species of Lobsterettes as they are known in the U.S., or Langostino in Spain, and Langoustine in France.

The freshwater shrimp, or more properly, freshwater prawn, is a member of a large group of freshwater crustaceans found in many parts of the world.
Other factors producing increased interest in production include identified markets for live and fresh prawns in inland locations, the growing trend among consumers wanting to know of how their food was produced, and the discovery that prawns actually grow more rapidly at cooler temperatures.
In the nursery phase, water temperatures are maintained at 78-82ºF and the prawns are fed trout starter feeds at a declining percentage of body weight.

 Fishupdate.com: Prawn issue is a nonsense, says industry figure
However, George MacRae, secretary of the Scottish White Fish Producers’ Association, said that in terms of battling for a fair allocation system following the prawn quota increases, they had the bit between their teeth and will not give up on the issue.
Mr MacRae said that the “very real fear” that the under 10m/non-sector part of the UK prawn fleet would be given an unjustifiably large slice of the prawn quotas increase was causing severe alarm throughout the Scottish prawn industry.
What is more in 1999, the UK Government had introduced the fixed quota allocation system designed to give some stability for the industry and a legitimate expectation had subsequently been built up that because the prawn fishery was being looked after well, the over-10m vessels would reap a justifiable reward from any increase.
