I was watching Bizarre foods on the travel channel and there is a Vietnamese restaurant serving it with a sweet chili sauce that the host said was great. We have tons of horseshoe crab around but never seen it eaten...

I'll give you $5 if you eat one.

$5 to eat crab? the smoked sago grubs I used to eat in the village I grew up in over in the south pacific looked a lot worse than a horseshoe crab but tasted pretty good. never knock it till you've tried it.

The dish looked very good. There is not anything I have seen from the sea that properly prepared is not good to eat.

Unless the horseshoe crabs are different down there than the ones here up north. Not whole lot of meat on them, for years they were used as bait in traps or as fertilizer. There are so many other things I would eat than those,

That is exactly what they were cooking, everyone remarked at what a great dish it was with unique flavor. I was hoping someone on the board may have a recipe. Something different to try...

Scares me and I'm fearless...although I will scream like a girl every now and then in a scarey movie..:rolleyes:

Well I will try any type of food once so I hope you gives us some feedback if you get a chance to eat one of those buggers.

Soon as I find a recipe. I did see on a google search that it has been/ is eaten in the north atlantic states... my search continues..

Bet its kinda crunchy.
