From The Globe-Trotting Professor Schultz:   Mantis Shrimp – The Other White Meat

“Well, here are some pictures of one of the scariest looking animals I ate last night. The Mantis Shrimp: Hard to peel, but tastes pretty good.  They also look scary in quantities on a plate.  Like cooked cockroaches. Yet another reason to state that in China, you'll eat everything of an animal but the squeal.”  Tom Schultz
