Delicious mantis shrimp

[mattybecks]

Hi guys,

Just got back from China and saw loads of these guys in the restaurants. I have never seen mantis shrimp this big. All of them larger than my forearm.

Very popular and not expensive

Same goes for baby lobsters aka yabbies

They are good. I have had it at a local korean bbq. Its pretty popular in South Korea. I think they have alot of them along the ocean in that area. I had it two ways prepared and on the grill at the table the meat is slightly sweet kind of like lobster and shrimp crossed. I'm pretty sure they are frozen though. I asked if it was fresh and the server didn't really speak good English neither did the rest of the staff. My Korean is about 0. I learned a little the ex went through a stage we will call it. I like the food the culture (alot taken from us) but you can keep the dramas....lol
