Title: Crustacea
Post by: Susan on March 18, 2011, 04:25:24 pm
On tuesday I went fishing (in a nearby supermarket ;) ) and captured some crustacea: (http://www.allesrohkost.de/paleoforum/Meeresfruechte.JPG)
Above an edible crab, some langoustines and goose barnacles. The crab was still living and I killed it by opening the thorax. How you can do this is shown here: How to open a crab (http://www.allesrohkost.de/forum51774/messages/58469.htm).
I stored him 24h in a cool basement. Yesterday the smell of the innards rose into my nose and I ate them. They taste a little bit like a salty bouillabaisse. It's my experience that the flesh of the legs needs at least three or four days before it really tastes good so I stored the legs again and completed my dinner with langoustines. I ate seven of them. It was a delicious and satisfying dinner. :)

That looks so good and fresh! :D
Did you eat it with the shell? I heard it has a lot of calcium and magnesium in it and it could be edible and less hard raw. Also did you have to take out the crab/prawn bowells and intestines and little black poo line thats in shrimps and prawns or did you eat the whole thing without worrying about poo or parasites?

I didn't eat the shell of the crab, it's a little bit to hard but I ate the shell of the langoustines und their small legs. I ate all innards of the crab gills, brain and eyes inclusive. I never worry about poo or parasites. Do you know that all carnivores prefer the innards of their prey intestinal contents inclusive? I confess till now I have some problems to eat the intenstine of terrestrial animals (telling the truth till now nobody offered me such a delicacy :D ) but I have no problems with the intenstines of marine animals.
