In the Name of Allah, the Inspirer of Truth.
Assalamu Alaikum Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuh

There is no slaughtering method for fish unlike other animals. An exception to the rule i.e. a dispensation bestowed on us by Allah: “Two carions are made Halaal for us; Fish and locust.” (Mishkaat vol.2 pg.361).

King prawns would fall into the same ruling as prawns.

Ducks are Halaal. The principle as mentioned in the answer is whether birds hunt with their claws or not. Ducks are nor birds of prey.
