I think you have this the wrong way round, It's an Aussie expression
unknown to Pom's, or did I miss an in joke?
"Don't come the raw prawn with me", means "don't try and pull my leg".
Usally spoken as an immediate response to someone who is issuing
misleading information which is reckonised as such. Not always said in jest.
