I've always wanted to try a mantis shrimp. Now I want to, um, try a mantis shrimp. They sound delicious.

Think you were eating one of the same species that shows up in the trade?

Do they taste like some sort of forbidden lobster?

Hard to tell. They were BBQ'd :) Tasted nothing like shrimp or lobster. Very unique taste.
