Mantis Shrimp, GW Flushing Super Market, 144-50 Northern Boulevard, Flushing, NYC 2014.09.27
For those that never tried these things, they're sort of a cross between a Lobster and Shrimp in meat texture and consistency, growing anywhere from three inches to a foot long. Eating them is as troublesome as that of a crab, with plenty of small pointy shell fragments. Considered regular seafood dining fare in the Far East, they're relatively unknown in the US, except in Chinese markets, where they've begun to make some inroads. The Mantis Shrimp, by weight, is one of the feistiest sea creatures that you would ever want to meet. Some have sharp claws to impale, whilst others have blunt club like appendages to bludgeon with such impact that scientist have qualified it as being the equivalent force of a .22 Caliber bullet.
Good Eating ;)
