I am not too picky, but when you get to large and jumbo shrimp the vein can get very gritty and or lots of iodine, smaller shrimp no problem, as for crawfish it is strictly an appearance thing, and appearance is a big part of cooking. ,

The grit is always a dead giveaway, and yes there is a taste difference, but it depends what the shrimp is being used for. If I'm plating up an app of two or three beautiful jumbo Gulf shrimp, I'm going to want those babies absolutely clean. If there's small shrimp/crawfish tossed into pasta, salad or poboy, it would be ludicrous to pick out every vein.
