I love softshell crab. The last time I had one, outside of the occasional spider roll, was at the Angola Prison Rodeo.

Softshell is delicious, I made some just last week. Stuffed them with fermented Fresno pepper hotsauce and fried them.

Bogan King posted:59g of protein per 100g is well up there for protein If you do the math, the calories in that cricket flour are 48.5% from protein, 44.5% from fat, and 7% from carbohydrates. That's comparable with semi-fatty meats such as chicken thighs (54.4% / 43.7% / 1.9%) but is hardly the "pure protein" of egg whites (84.7% calories from protein), chicken breast (75.2%) or even greek yogurt (68.0%).

If you care about efficiency though that cricket flour makes a bunch more protein for the energy it took to make it. Comparing it 1:1 for protein content that cricket probably took a vanishingly small amount of the resources used to create it vs. the milk for that yogurt or flesh of that chicken or the eggs from said chicken.

Not really, no. quote:Although it has been suggested that crickets reared for human or livestock consumption may result in a more sustainable supply of protein, this study finds that such conclusions will depend, in large part, on what the crickets are fed and which systems of livestock production they are compared to. When fed grain-based diets at a scale of economic relevance, populations of crickets in this study showed little improvement in PCE compared to broiler chickens fed similar diets.

Mealworms are okay, crickets are disgusting, and land bugs in general are all lung and chitin-- sad counterfeits of their rich, sweet, muscular water-dwelling kin. I suspect we'll be eating yeast protein long before we get to whole bugs, simply because who's gonna bother with buckets of worms when you can just engineer a yeast that tastes like Italian sausage and run a biostat full of that for a thousand dinners?

I love crab but have never had softshell.... is it at all like, chewy, or is the shell as soft as normal crab meat? I know that it's basically just a freshly moulted crab, but am wondering about the outer consistency.

ulmont posted:Not really, no. Ok ok maybe not crickets but maybe some other insect as suggested by this study. And this study doesn't take into account the waste and cost of care going into crickets vs. chicken. I wonder what the protein vs. amount of waste generated is like between a cricket and a broiler chicken. Ultimately though if you are going to feed animals things that you yourself could eat that's always going to be a better use of resources. Maybe when we get vat-grown meat which I personally can't wait for. elise the great posted:Mealworms are okay, crickets are disgusting, and land bugs in general are all lung and chitin-- sad counterfeits of their rich, sweet, muscular water-dwelling kin.

Yeah this, seems like the tech is going to advance so far that we can just grow whatever protien structures with whatever taste profiles we want from base ingredients and avoid things like 'feathers' and 'pooping all the time'.

Yeah mealworms are fine, we had a science teacher in grade 9 or so who raised a bunch on apples coated in cinnamon, and they did indeed taste like apple cinnamon when we (well I was the only one who ate one because I was a weird goth in high school) ate them. That said I did pass on a softshell crab at a sushi place once, around the same time. I was expecting spider roll and instead it was just a softshell crab that had been deepfried just sitting there on a plate. IDK I made my boyfriend eat it.

You'd think something called mealworm would taste OK.

I haven't had a soft crab in a while but I vaguely remember it having some 'snap' like a good sausage will, except the insidey parts are not as firm as a sausage

quote:It was ... disappointing. The biggest disappointment was that I was disappointed by the disappointment. If that doesn't make sense, get back to me after you've had some breakfast spaghetti. It turns out pasta has an impressive ability to mellow out any flavors you throw at it (maybe this is why a jar of Ragu has 60 grams of sugar in it). I expected overpowering, cloying sweetness. Instead, the pasta was just so boldly flavorless, none of the candy trash on it could stand out.
