Can you tell if prawns are off?

Asked: David Trudel, Last Updated:

If your prawns are slimy or going grey, this may be a sign that they're too old. Slime on proteins is an indicator that lactic acid from bacteria is present, and this makes your prawns unsafe to eat. In general, seafood that smells overly fishy or funky should be tossed into the bin, as it may already be spoiled.
