I’ll tell you how to distinguish male and female. As they don’t curl up in boiling water… Cut both of the side edges. MANTIS SHRIMP
– HOW TO BOIL & PEEL I’m going to show you how to boil mantis shrimps. Mantis shrimps lose their freshness quite quickly. So, they are not often sold raw. But sometimes we see them sold alive in fish tanks at markets. So, today I’m going to show you how to boil and peel them. Mantis shrimp has two claws here. They are so powerful that they can break shells and even fish tanks. Please be careful with them when you prepare them alive. Mantis shrimps sometimes have roe. I’ll tell you how to distinguish male and female. It doesn’t have roe as it’s not their spawning season. But if it did, the color here would be different, so you can tell. The other way to distinguish them is to see the stomach here. If it has white lines, it is female. FEMALE MALE
Male doesn’t have them and it’s more like transparent. These are the two ways to distinguish male and female. Okay then, I’m going to boil them first. Put salt in boiling water and put mantis shrimps in there. They move quite a lot as long as they’re alive. If they move too much to handle, put them in ice water and they will stop moving. And then you can boil them. For prawns, I thread them onto skewers to avoid them from curling up in boiling water. But there’s no need to do that for mantis shrimps as they don’t curl up in boiling water. The temperature goes down when you put them in the water, so let the water comes to a boil again and boil them for 5 minutes. So, keep boiling them like this for 5 minutes. I briefly talked about the female’s roe earlier. They have two spawning seasons that are spring and autumn. So, if you get them in spring or autumn, they should have roe. It’s been 5 minutes. Let’s take them out of the water. Some people take them straight onto a strainer, but I usually put them in ice water first and then onto a strainer. This is because, like boiled eggs, it makes it easier to peel the shell. But if you put them in ice water for too long, their meat gets washy. So, it’s up to your preference. If you want to peel them quickly, you should put them in ice water and instantly cool them down. If you don’t like the meat to get washy, don’t use ice water but just take them straight onto a strainer to cool them down. Choose whichever you like. The meat is still hot even after being dipped in ice water. So, leave them like this to cool down. Then, I’m going to peel them. They’ve cooled down, so now I’m going to peel them. Firstly, cut off their heads with scissors like this. Then, remove these legs. It becomes like this. Prawns can be peeled with hands like this without doing anything else. But mantis shrimp’s top and stomach shells firmly stick to each other. So, you need cut this part off where they stick to each other before starting to peel. Most of them don’t have meat in the tips of their tails. So, you can cut them off like this. Then, cut both of the side edges. As they have meat here, be careful not to cut off too much, otherwise you will waste the meat. Then, it becomes like this. Peel the stomach shell first. You can do that pretty easily with hands. Then, peel the top shell. This shell sticks to the meat relatively firmly. Also, the meat is very soft. So, you need to be very careful, so that you can peel it nicely like this. I don’t think people often eat the meat in the head. These are the claws. Remove them at the joints and the remaining parts have meat in them. They’re called ‘shako-tsume’ (mantis shrimp claws). This meat tastes nice and sweet and has a nice firm texture. If you want to eat it, cut off the tips and push out the meat like this. It takes a little time and effort to get the meat, but if you want to eat it, you should definitely try. On a side note, some of you might have heard mantis shrimps can see light we cannot see. But that’s apparently wrong. People see colors as the combination of three colors that are red, green and blue. So, we perceive colors through the strength of each of those three colors. Whereas mantis shrimps see 12 different lights separately. It’s like series and parallel circuits. They can see 12 light but don’t combine them. They simply receive them as separate signals. Although people often say they have good eyesight, it’s been recently said they can’t actually see that many colors. Mantis shrimps are caught pretty much anywhere in Japan including Tokyo Bay as they are famous as sushi topping. The catch is also large in Shikoku area. These ones are from Sanriku. They are also caught in Hokkaido. I think they are bigger than those caught in Shikoku or Tokyo. Usually fish in warmer sea tend to be bigger, but when it comes to mantis shrimps, somehow those in Hokkaido tend to be bigger. Once you get all the meat out from the shell like this, you just need to eat it. Some people marinate it before eating. But I think it’s tasty enough as is. Put ginkgo leaves to add green color. As it’s a bit too big, cut it in half and dish it up. Put the claw meat on the side. Add wasabi too. Popular sauce for this is sweet sauce.
