ok that officially looks delicious. Is the meat easy to get out? All the pictures I've seen is them served with their shells still on.

and fwiw, I don't care much for horse meat. I've unwittingly eaten it twice, and found it rather gamey

just wondering where one would find them for sale in Canada? I go to Kim Phat often and I have seen nothing like that. There are live crabs, lobster, fish but I have never seen any mantis dead or alive?

hehe, all the mantis shrimp that arrive on our shores are sold as pets, there's none left over for the grocery store!

Yes they're sold as Carribean lobster!

I paid 89$ for my peacock mantis shrimp...now that would be a really expensive meal!

I guess these things have more value as a pet than as a meal. I am willing to pay that much for my pet but I would never pay that much for one piece of meat.
