The shrimps called prawns are downside up fish... :hu
Not to be left out of this thread are the flat-fish - Sole, flounder, halibut, sand dabs, etc, - who haven't made the full turn to upside down and, instead, adapt very early in their lives to living sideways. They go so far as to have one side (which becomes the top) a different color and texture, and the eye that would have ended up on the bottom migrates to the top in an odd asymmetrical alignment. Another of nature's oddities. Also delicious!

I used to amble along just above the sandy bottom looking for the outline and then spear them with my knife. Cooking them that evening, they were delicious, never quite matched by fish from the fishmonger. Used to get a lot of crabs too, from holes in the nearby rock face, usually at about 20 to 25 feet. Didn't like them as much.

@Emulator I don’t imagine anyone would ever like getting crabs. :old
Some people most definitely enjoyed getting crabs. It is having crabs that they do not like.

Now for somethng different, by Mathew Brady. He took MANY Carte de Viste shots of people back during/after the US civil war. The camera used was called a "multiplying camera" to get at least 4 shots on a plate (very much like the more recent polaroid passport camera). Some of those images can be arranged for a full stereo (3D) view of the personages, like Gen. James B. Ricketts, shown below, arranged for cross-eye viewing...
