Japanese Paper Thin Seafood Cracker

Street food of Japanese paper thin seafood cracker known as Tako Senbei is freshly made

[@carolynallisee2463]

I know this is going to sound totally crazy, but when I saw the cracker coming out of the cracker maker, the squashed seafood reminded me of those fossils that are found in places like Messel, Solnhofen and the Burgess Shales: squashed perfectly flat, yet perfectly preserved and full of detail!

[@fieonshakespearenut]

Me too! I immediately thought of fossils!

[@oBuLLzEyEo1013]

Look at the little fishies, awe...

[@SarahLovesBoobahandErEr]

Nope. Not crazy at all! I thought the same thing!

[@kenhukushi1637]

[@areebah8297]

can you eat the fossils tho👀

[@lkp3335]

for someone who curious about how the crab can be squashed at eat like that. In Thailand we have soft shell crab, which mean crab after shedding (better catch within 1-2 hrs after shedding if not the new shell will be more than 30% complete and it will be too hard) its shell still soft so you can eat the whole crab. Various menus from soft shell crab here such as fried with garlic, curry, fried with chilies. The price is due to the size. For the texture & thickness of soft shell, It's like a thick & rubberlike apple skin, lighter and much easier to chew than avocado skin. I think countries that have shallow sea coast also have this since they can do crab farm with specific crab type (I never seen soft shell Alaska king crab or deep sea crab before) Other countries may hardy find them or they just import them so it maybe pricey. (Sorry about my English)

[@snowylilacs7952]

Pretty much yes, we also have soft shelled crabs in the southern states of America

[@newyearxd828]

But the claw are super hard XD

[@thomashani9970]

Thanks for explanation :)

[@sophievanderbilt1325]

@@snowylilacs7952 we have them on the northeast coast, too. I’m in NJ and soft shell crabs are pretty popular. They’re expensive since it’s hard to find them in the few days that they’re totally soft. Then they turn into “tinbacks” and are a bit more firm. Soft shell crabs are delicious!

Paper thin, nice and crispy, with what looks like some type of savory sauce carefully painted on at the end. It looks so incredibly decadent, delicious and special.
