A lobster stall in Vietnam.
One of my favorite animals to photograph is definitely the lobster.
These were in a stall at a night market in Da Nang in Vietnam and the colors of this lobster really impressed me.

Don't they look wonderful to you?

It is medium-large in size with an average length of 20–40 cm and a maximum of 50 cm and a weight of up to 8 kg. The body is sub-cylindrical in shape, covered by an armor that changes several times during growth to recreate a new one. The carapace is divided into two parts - the cephalothorax (anterior part) and the abdomen (posterior part) - with a reddish-brown to purple-brown color and is covered with conical spines. The abdomen is made up of 6 mobile segments, and is equipped with a tiny stinger.

Aragosta fritta thai

Normalmente a Phuket andiamo sempre a mangiare l’aragosta in un mercato (proprio di fronte allo stadio della thai boxe) coperto.
Una delle tante volte, per nostra disattenzione (o forse perche’ il venditore on ce l’ha chiesto) ce le hanno preparate, invece che grigliate, fritte.
A dire la verita’ non credevo mi sarebbe piaciuta cotta in questa maniera ma alla fine dai (a parte l’aglio abbondante) me la sono pappata ugualmente.
Forse, in questo modo, ci vuole un pochino piu’ tempo per finirla e non e’ una brtta cosa visto il prezzo, che per essere in Thailandia e’ abbastanza alto.

Aragose fresche

Fresh lobsters at the market in Thailand.
In almost all Thai restaurants, lobsters and prawns are on display.
This, for example, was the market stall where we always go to eat lately when the ship is docked in Phuket.
Fresh lobsters (probably farmed) to be weighed and grilled or fried.
800/1000 baht per kilo, depending on how good you are at bargaining, about 30 euros.

Risotto con aragosta gustato in Grecia.
Ieri sono riuscito ad uscire a pranzo a Mykonos e mi sono gustato un buon risotto con sugo di aragosta.
Un po’ troppe verdurine per i miei gusti ma comunque molto buono.

Crostacei

Costituiscono un subphylum degli Artropodi che comprende principalmente animali acquatici marini, sebbene siano ampiamente presenti anche nelle acque dolci e sia nota qualche specie terrestre. Quello dei Crostacei costituisce un gruppo molto eterogeneo i cui membri, a livello morfologico, sono accomunati soprattutto da due caratteri basali: la presenza di due paia di appendici preorali (antennule e antenne) nel cephalon, altrimenti identico – per numero e disposizione dei segmenti e appendici – a quello di Miriapodi ed Esapodi; la presenza di alcune appendici biramose (differenti però da quelle dei Trilobitomorfi).
