BillyH Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 FILET CREVETTE. Shrimp Net. I like shrimps, cooked in butter and a little dry white wine. But why the nets are camoflaged, do the shrimps have such good eyesight ? BillyH................:red: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

43rdrecce Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 Clive, What date is the document you posted? I have one of these nets in the 25 x 12 size. I'd always assumed they were French or Belgian, though the label is missing from mine. They are similar to the British early WW2 shrimp net though.

43rdrecce Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 Thanks Clive, very interesting. I have also seen these nets (whatever the origin, French, Belgian etc) in plain green, without the disruptive pattern. Regards Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
