CATDOLL : CATDOLL:What is mantis shrimp?

A kind of seafood, mantis shrimp, scientifically known as mantis shrimp, is called Mantis Shrimp in English. It belongs to the phylum Arthropoda, subphylum Crustacea, class Molluscs, subclass Prawns, order Stomatopoda (there is only one order under this subclass). Except for the ancient mantis shrimp family, which is entirely fossil species, the living species are divided into 7 superfamilies: Deep Mantis Shrimp Superfamily, Finger Mantis Shrimp Superfamily, Mantis Shrimp Superfamily, Lyre Mantis Shrimp Superfamily, Red Mantis Shrimp Superfamily, Wide Mantis Shrimp Superfamily and Mimic Mantis Shrimp Superfamily.

All are marine. Prawns originated in the Jurassic period of the Mesozoic Era. Most species live in tropical and subtropical waters, with a few found in temperate waters. They are found along the coast of China. Among them, the wide-temperature species of the genus Oratosquilla, Squillidae, is the most widely distributed and has the largest production. [1] People in different regions of China have different names for mantis shrimps, such as: mantis shrimp, shrimp crawler, crawling shrimp, shrimp goby, belt shrimp, shrimp lady, shrimp man, mantis shrimp, peeing shrimp, peeing shrimp, shrimp dog bullet, bullet shrimp, rich shrimp, mantis shrimp, flowerless worm, shrimp skin bullet worm, silkworm shrimp, shrimp untalented, water scorpion, mantis shrimp. In Penglai Dajijia and other places, it is also called "official hat shrimp" because its tail looks like a black gauze hat when viewed upside down.

Generally speaking, the fattest time for mantis shrimp is April and May every year, which is during the Qingming Festival and May Day every year. Mantis shrimp during this period are particularly plump, especially female shrimp, which have a lot of seeds.

By June, the mantis shrimps have finished spawning and the fishing moratorium begins. It is difficult to eat plump mantis shrimps at this time. It is not until September when the shrimps grow up that we can eat mantis shrimps again, but at this time the mantis shrimps are very small and not plump enough.

Since mantis shrimp only lays eggs in spring every year, people often say that spring is a good season to eat mantis shrimp, although the price of mantis shrimp will be more expensive at this time.

Mantis shrimp is actually a nickname, and its scientific name is also called shrimp lady. If you want to know what mantis shrimp is, you can roughly describe it from two aspects: its status in the world and its deliciousness.

1. Status in the industry

Don’t be fooled by the mantis shrimp’s ugly appearance, it is definitely a big shot in the world!

First of all, in terms of popularity, "Pipi Shrimp, Let's Go", I dare say there is any friend on the Internet who doesn't know that he has a lot of exclusive emoticons.

In addition, in terms of fighting power, mantis shrimp can be called the boxing champion of seafood! There are battle videos of mantis shrimp with crabs, crayfish and other seafood on the Internet. Mantis shrimp can be said to be the winner. When it punches hard, it can break the crab's claws with one punch, smash the clam's shell directly, kill the crayfish with a series of punches, knock out various fish with one punch and eat them, and shatter the glass of the fish tank with one punch! The power is simply terrifying.

The two "hammers" in front of it are really lethal, so the mantis shrimp is also called "mantis shrimp" because it looks very similar to a mantis and has a pair of powerful forelimbs.

2. Delicious food

In the food world, although mantis shrimp is not as famous as crayfish, its popularity is also quite high. Now is the time when crayfish and mantis shrimp are in season.

Mantis shrimp has a very high protein content and a low fat content, making it very suitable for those who want to lose weight but can’t control their appetite. In addition, mantis shrimp also contains trace elements and vitamins such as potassium and iodine, which are very beneficial to human health.

Steamed mantis shrimps, spicy mantis shrimps, pepper and salt mantis shrimps, raw pickled mantis shrimps and other methods are all very delicious, but the shell structure of mantis shrimps is complex, which makes them a little difficult to peel and easy to prick your hands.

I am from Yantai, and now I live in Nanhai. I have always enjoyed eating seafood. It is human desire. This question is about what mantis shrimp is? Good question. It proves that the questioner has doubts about this shrimp. I will tell you directly. It is not a shrimp. It is a kind of worm that grows in the sea. A worm. Why is it called shrimp and not a worm??? Because sea shrimps are delicious. Mantis shrimp is not bad either. It tastes delicious. One more thing, crayfish is not a shrimp either. Crayfish is a kind of worm that lives in the ditch. It is best not to eat it. It is dangerous.

It lives in burrows in the shallow muddy seabed, shallow coastal mud and sand or in reef cracks. It is produced along the coast of my country.

The habits of shrimps and crabs are similar. They lay eggs in May every year, so April is the time when they are fat and delicious. After April and May, the next season for eating shrimps will be after September. The meat of shrimps is delicate and tender, and rich in nutrition. It is the most delicious among many seafood products. Jiaoliao Mandarin calls it "shrimp", "shrimp tiger", etc., Beijing Mandarin calls it "Pipi shrimp", and Cantonese calls it "peeing shrimp".

There are many ways to cook shrimps, such as pickling them raw, steaming them, and stir-frying them with spicy sauce. Among them, the best way to fully enjoy the delicious flavor of shrimps is to pickle them raw.

There are two types of shrimps, male and female. Female shrimps are more popular and more expensive. It is very easy to distinguish between male and female shrimps. Female shrimps are slightly smaller and have a white "王" character on their abdomen. Isn't it amazing!

The shell of shrimp is hollow and hard, and cannot be used. It is also very difficult to peel the skin. However, the meat of shrimp is delicious, silky and tender. We cannot give up such a delicacy easily. Although it is prickly, there are many people who like to eat shrimp.

Mantis shrimp, also known as mantis shrimp, are all marine. Mantis shrimp originated in the Jurassic period of the Mesozoic era. Most species live in tropical and subtropical waters, and a few are found in temperate waters. They are found along the coast of China. Among them, the wide-temperature species of the genus Mantis shrimp, Mantis shrimp, of the family Mantis shrimp, has the widest distribution and the largest output. Mantis shrimps mostly live in caves, digging holes in the sand or mud bottom of shallow seas. The holes are U-shaped. Stomatopods are carnivorous and usually prey on small invertebrates. They will rub the ventral surface of the tail segment with their tail limbs or hit with their limbs to make sounds. Mantis shrimps are ferocious and have very sharp eyesight. Because they are good at swimming, most of their prey are benthic creatures that are not good at swimming, including various shellfish, crabs, sea urchins, etc. They can easily break the outer hard shell of their prey and enjoy the meat inside.

I personally like to eat mantis shrimps, no matter whether they are stir-fried, garlic-flavored, peppered or blanched, I like them very much, but I don’t like the ones that are marinated raw.

People in Qingdao call it mantis shrimp. Doesn’t it sound very descriptive? This kind of shrimp is a bit like the pipa, a musical instrument.

This kind of shrimp is delicious. The male and female shrimps are different. The male shrimps are mainly fresh in taste, while the female shrimps have seeds and are more fragrant.

Live shrimps are slightly transparent, but they turn red when cooked.

Mantis shrimp is one of my favorite seafoods. It is a bit difficult to peel, so you must be careful because the spines of mantis shrimp are very sharp and may cut your hands.

Mantis shrimp, also called shrimp crawler or crawler shrimp in Jiaodong area, is the most delicious in spring, with firm meat. It is steamed, shelled and eaten (some people like to dip it in ginger juice). It is very delicious. In autumn, after removing the seeds, it is watery and the meat is loose, which is not delicious.
