I wanna add shrimp to my list. Bleh

You guys ever see shrimp swimming in a tank before they get picked to cook? NASTY buggers. Let's pull off all their legs and pop 'em in our mouth!

You should check them out in the fish tank at a chinese seafood restaurant. The thought of eating bugs come to mind.
Bugs don't bother me. I eat shrimps whole. Head, tail, legs, shell and all. The head might be the best part.

Yes I am familiar with Chinese restaurant, being from Taiwan :awe:

You should see live prawn skewered lengthwise then grilled.

In Taiwan you can go to a prawn fishing pond where you pay for x hours of fishing and you can cook the prawn you fish on the spot with charcoal grill and bamboo skewers.

shrimp are kind of "gross" in that regard but the big issue is that they don't even taste that great when done properly, and the bigger issue is that 99% of the time they are not done properly and are absolutely disgusting. cheap shrimp at a cheap chinese restaurant, or those tiny shrimp wherever else. that stuff is really gross. most of the time good shrimp is only good because of the sauce, and even then it's probably overcooked. that's not even mentioning that it's overpriced

I wouldn't say lobster and some shellfish is overrated. Just expensive. All shellfish is freaking delicious

Of course I would eat that squid. Are you kidding me? I'm not a huge raw squid person and preferred it steam, boiled, or fried. But when it's fresh like it, it's great. It's soft and sweet and I wouldn't even need any sauce.

I dont eat raw seafood, but stir fry that with rice wine and giger and I'll eat it.

Would you eat a tarantula too? Have you / would you try one?

I believe it was turned into that slightly brown/orange sauce.

I think the chile morita is the sauce. The sweet potato should be a beautiful purple. Still looks creepy, brainy!
