По-често се срещат peeled shrimps, отколкото peeled prawns, но, ако имате възможност, попитайте клиента за какви скариди иде реч. Ако е професионалист, ще Ви каже. Хората просто имат повече думички от нас по темата за скаридите и другите морски обитатели.

Попитайте вашия клиент дали тези скариди са вносни или се ловят в Черно море.

Pavel Tsvetkov (asker) Apr 11, 2009:

Няма друг контекст или обяснение с изключение на посочените по-горе: става дума за артикул в ресторантско меню.

Emilia Balke Apr 11, 2009:

Много е важно за какви скариди става дума. Ако имате пред вид пържените скариди, които се продаваха в пакетчета по черноморието, терминът е друг. Моля пояснете.
