Irregular Times Diaries: Unfit Discussion

A while ago, I published an article explaining that mantis shrimp can be eaten, as much as many of us might like to see them alive.

I’ve always wonder how fishermen manage to get a commercially viable harvest of mantis shrimp, given the way that they can break bones or slash open flesh with their powerful front smashers or stabbers.

Out of curiosity, I’ve been looking for images of what mantis shrimp actually looks like when cooked and prepared as part of a meal.

I found a video that shows just that. If you’ve got stomatopod-loving kids in the household, cover their eyes.
