The size of these mantis. Ready for eating

Hi guys,

Just got back from China and saw loads of these guys in the restaurants. I have never seen mantis shrimp this big. All of them larger than my forearm.

I’ve been shocked amazed and saddened at what I’ve seen in Asian fish markets... Not judging the cuisine, but the environmental pressure on the seas

They were all the spearing types. had these long sharp arms. I was wondering what would happen if I had to put my hand in there and started shaking it around grabbing a few of them haha.

Nothing good I bet.

I've had mantis before, it tastes fishier than fish, if you know what i mean.
