wenchie, live crabs can cost anywhere from PHP250 to 500 per kilo, depending on where it is from, male or female, large or small, one claw or two, freshness, etc. Lobsters cost anywhere from PHP600-1300 per kilo depending on whether they are rock or mud, alive or not, etc. It’s best if you go to Seaside market and check there if you intend to start this as a business (as I gather from your other comment in another section of this blog).

MM: I envy you guys in the Philippines because you got the freshest seafood and enjoy to eat them and best of all cheap. Here in Vegas everything is frozen and not fresh at all, expensive pa. I miss those jumping shirmp.

Ria, no stupid questions is right, I completely abide by that. And yes, flat leaf parsley is Italian parsley and vice versa. Sorry for the confusion. Katrina, shellfish is better than meat. Generally I think the cholesterol is in particular parts like the crab roe or the corral of lobsters. The cholesterol doesn’t cause the gout… it’s the uric acid I think. Generally, I would guess that all seafood is probably better than most or all things that have four legs…

From a South Park episode:

There are no stupid questions, only stupid people.

Nevertheless, here goes: Is Italian parsley the same as flat leaf parsley?

Prawns (actually, any crustacean) are my favorite! Call me ignorant, but I had no idea they were so high in cholesterol and caused gout! And here I thought they were healthy choices because they’re seafood. Are you sure it isn’t *good* cholesterol they’re full of? Are they at least better than red meat? You see, crustaceans are probably the only things I love to eat that I (had) thought were good for me…but after reading all the comments here, I now know that my entire diet puts my health at risk. :-(
