First you pound the fish flat with a mallet

Is it a bad sign if my first reaction to the discovery of a new crustacean is "Aww . . ."* and my second is "I wonder if it's edible?"

*So fuzzily Lovecraftian! Also, the fact that there's a Polynesian goddess of crustaceans simply rocks.

If you want to see something really cool (that doesn't look very edible), in the Florida cave systems they have these albino crawfish with nearly translucent skin (err... or shell?) so you can see their hearts beating. Very creepy.

These things kindof remind me of orangutans. I don't know why. Maybe it's the long furry arms/claws/whatever. My mind works weird.

I was thinking yeti myself. Half-beetle, half-yeti. If I saw it in a B-movie I'd assume they'd stuck two old monster suits together.
