Very large prawn caught off New Zealand

[#juan]

Scientists have captured a "supergiant" crustacean in waters seven kilometres deep off New Zealand, measuring 20 times the normal size of related species. Mor news when I find it.

To wax optimistic a little bit, Those prawns would be like a smaller lobster...without the claws.
I could live with that....:smile:

It is, usually I like prawns but they don't look all that palatable to me.

It's caused by the nuclear disaster in Japan. Within the year one of these things will come ashore in Japan and destroy Tokyo. I bet they make a movie about it.

Oh boy. I can imagine prawn boats flocking there by the hundred now to clean up that mess of those grim looking things. Kind of like what happened to our coastal abalone (pinto abalone). They're protected now.

Prawnzillas? Cool.

I'm with you on that... But I will contend that they are a wonderful treat every so often

To be honest though most things that come out of the ocean are not too pretty to look at in their raw state.

Cook 'em up though and it's a very different story, lol.

They aren't prawns...more like giant sand fleas. Amphipoda is a separate Order from Decapoda.

Sautéed they would be tasty as hell. No concern who and what they are related to.

AHAH! Tokyo's going to be wiped out by giant bugs again! Cool.

Maybe. Let us know if you ever vacation down in Kiwi land

Well would you eat it?

 

[L Gilbert]

Toss one here. I'll eat it.

 

[Tonington]

I'll try pretty much anything once. In some cases though, I wouldn't want to be the first guinea pig.

Friend of mine had monkey brains. Not me. How about you?

 

[L Gilbert]

I'd taste. So far, I haven't been impressed with the flavor of brains, though.

Nope. Not into brain tissue...risky.

lmao Mad Monkey disease?
