Can You EAT GHOST SHRIMP?! WEIRDEST SHRIMP EVER!!

[@kavinjayaraman2562]

Bro i thought of a cool series, “Can it Sushi?” You should go around and catch a variety of organisms and see if it’s able to be “sushified” and made into an appetizing dish.

Will it sushi was already done by Hiroyuki and good mythical morning but not with wild foods.

Welcome to another round of 'Can It Sushi?' Oh no it Parasites

[@kan35611]

Oh yeah yeah, that's a swell idea

[@mattybizz788]

Try purging them in fresh water, discarding the claw, dusting in flour and fry. Top with fried chili, garlic and spring onion and salt.

[@redkelah]

Just salt and flour and fry in high temp oil instead of butter, super crunchy and not much aftertaste. But probably much better as bait. Top bait for many species of estuary fish especially whiting

[@Iroxinping]

The claw probably has the most meat, you can't discard it

[@MrAlwaysRight]

@@Iroxinping my poop still has the most poop and I discard that.

[@rja62b]

@@Iroxinping probably the most shell-y bite tho. I doubt there's much meat in there

[@Iroxinping]

no one can peel a shell.....just fry it then.....all the minerals and vitamins are in the shell :/

[@jeremytran1678]

After that video with fisherman’s life I think taku picked up some tips like look at the amount of butter

[@connor8253]

G6 Jerbear101 he is trying to fry it in the butter lol, you can’t do that with a little amount of butter

[@101ServersMinecraft]

You did not know the three main ingredients and cooking his butter butter butter. Every chef knows that. I miss Fishermans life I thought he was going to post a camping trip of sort?

You could call them Takus.

[@ShinyRedGrapple]

You should fry them in bacon grease, drain the grease, dredge them in butter, flour, egg, cornstarch, penko, egg again, regular breadcrumbs, beer, flour again seasoned with salt, pepper, onion powder, garlic powder and cayenne, deep fry them in pork lard, drain, season with sea salt and lemon juice, dehydrate for 24 hours, mash into a powder, sprinkle the powder on fried turkey skins, chop coarsely, mix into cheese soufle batter, distribute into buttered ramekins, sprinkle with bread crumbs and butter, bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes, slide each on out onto a cooling rack until cool to the touch, then using a food processor, pulse until a fine texture, then chuck that shit back into the bay.

[@cyberdan1000]

I just had some last night. I was experimenting how to catch them in my local bay at low tide. You did it the hard way. Clam digger is real bad on the back. I built a shrimp pump. Much easier and faster. anyway my wife sauteed them in butter. Not a lot of meat in them. Never thought of eating them in the shell. A lot of work to get to the meat. I figured eat just like crawdads. These guys need to be purged of sand. Caught one female with eggs. I put on a little salt and the shrimp caviar was OK. It is early in the season, maybe in a few months they will be bigger. I also went clamming in the same bay. Got a couple dozen will have them tomorrow.

Greetings from Thornton Colorado once again! So what’s next Pile Worms? Hmmm. It’s great to try new things, I mean heck, people all over the planet eat bugs,scorpion and what not. So “things of the sea is the way it otta be” seems to be your mantra. Carry o Chef.

[@keeperofthegood]

I don't think I would have done them shell on. You didn't try to clean them like regular shrimp and try them.

[@Sto0pidMonkey]

theres hardly any meat on them so you can't really take the shell off

[@hairyscone]

they are full of goo

[@ricardonuno1694]

Fun video. Will keep “Liking” and leave comments with quality stuff your putting out! I especially liked your outro . Put in more outros.

I remember i caught some huge ghost shrimp from a pier with a fishing pole when they came out of their holes one time, we were going to try them but they got stuck behind a panel in the fridge we had and made the whole area smell rotten for days lmao, great vid keep it up!

I think you can use that clam gun to also take out your back;-D you are the best, keep it up. thanks I didn't know there is a limit on them now.I used to catch these commercially,using a small trash pump.we'd catch thousands of them in a day. can you make a video on eating Dungeness crab guts?

[@edsan9788]

Visited a friend he purged them in a saltwater tank he uses to keep bait alive then marinated in lime withe fresh green chilies before stir frying in butter tasted great

Maybe get rid of the heads or keep the heads and get rid of the body. Might make it taste better. Great video, I always wondered about how it would be to eat them.

Better if you cook them off and sieve the rubbish out and make a BEAUTIFUL prawn soup with the resulting liquid leftover from the sieve...

[@rosydo1046]

I'm a new sub!!! Stumbled upon your channel and got obsessed

[@MuvoTX]

Cool video Taku... Shrimp head is an acquired taste IMHO, kind of bitter-ocean-brine tasting. Maybe if you butcher it down to the tail, and rinse the head/guts and deep fry them with panko crumbs? I always find butter or light oil pan fry/saute' to be the most transparent form of frying... in that it retains the base flavor/texture of the ingredient with minimal alteration. Love the channel buddy!! i live in Palo alto, your channel is like a bay area travel guide.

Of course you can eat ghost shrimp probably taste similar to regular shrimps but damn wish we could find them here they'd be perfect for predator fishes.

[@saltwater_addict742]

We fish with ghost shrimp (mud prawn) here in South Africa. There's no meat on it whatsoever, never tried eating it but fishing with it once it is pierced it loses most of its fluid. Sand crabs have way more meat than ghost shrimp as ghost shrimp are sort of liquid based.

Probably the organs and such aren't that great to eat and not good tasting because of the mud you dig them out of.. Not sure, never had these or tried them.

I’m gonna say the things that are not normally eaten in the US today has its reasons. There is a reason that the first settlers chose not to eat certain foods while choosing others that are still passed down today. With the ease of getting ghost shrimp, they had to of not liked them. Just like certain fish who people are trying today. But please, eat all the lady fish and ghost shrimp you want. 😂🤣
