Aragosta colorata

Una foto ravvicinata di una aragosta colorata.
Questa splendida aragosta l’ho fotografata in Thailandia a Phuket ed era veramente spettacolare. Variopinta e piena di aculei.
Immaginatevi di trovarvela di fronte mentre state facendo un bagnetto in una di quelle spiagge tropicali… Certo, dira’ qualcuno, lei si sara’ sicuramente spaventata di piu’ e sicuramente non sara’ contenta di come finira’ la sua esistenza.

Aragosta colorata

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.

Granchi bolliti

Granchi bolliti

Granchi bolliti.
Uno dei cibi che non manca in nessun ristorante in Thailandia sono i granchi.
Se ne possono trovare un po’ di tutte le dimensioni ed in un po’ tutte le salse.
Personalmente non li amo, non per questioni di gusto (mi piacciono) ma perche’ sono difficili da mangiare e c’e’ poca polpa.
Questi erano bolliti (o al vapore) con a lato un po’ di salsa piccante.

Crabs in particular are equipped with a robust carapace and two powerful claws, therefore they use four pairs of limbs for movement and claws for catching, defending themselves and feeding. The abdomen is folded vertically and is therefore hidden. Many species are nocturnal, when the presence of potential predators is lower; the diet varies from species to species and includes animals, plants, carcasses.

In Asia non mancano certo i ristoranti con pesce fresco ed in particolare con i crostacei. Questi granchi vivi, che mi sembrano granchi reali giapponesi, erano in bella mostra in un acquario di Hong Kong.
Scusate per la qualita’ della foto ma c’era la vetrina di mezzo.

The Decapoda (Decapoda Latreille, 1802) are an order of crustaceans of the class Malacostraca, characterized by the presence of 10 legs. In Italian there is homonymy with the grouping of decapod molluscs, or Decapodiformes, with which they should not be confused. They include stocky forms (crabs), elongated forms (shrimps), and forms that must protect the abdomen. The latter are called Paguriformes, and include hermit crabs.

Crostacei

They constitute a subphylum of Arthropods that mainly includes marine aquatic animals, although they are also widely present in fresh water and some terrestrial species are known. The Crustacea constitute a very heterogeneous group whose members, at a morphological level, are mainly united by two basal characters: the presence of two pairs of preoral appendages (antennules and antennae) in the cephalon, otherwise identical - in number and arrangement of segments and appendages - to that of Myriapoda and Hexapoda; the presence of some biramous appendages (different, however, from those of Trilobitomorpha).

Some typical seafood enjoyed in Spain

Frutti di mare in Spagna

Some typical seafood enjoyed in Spain.
In Spain, as in Italy, many of the most delicious dishes are seafood. In the Buqueria market in Barcelona we saw, and tasted, these unusual fruits that, correct me, I think are called sea dates or are they razor clams?

Tell me what they're called, add a comment or go to the bottom of the site to read what other visitors have written.

Razor clams, or also cappelunghe, are bivalve molluscs that live in the sand inside their rectangular shell. They are usually fished in the Adriatic, when they arrive fresh on our tables; or in the Atlantic, but in this case we can buy them frozen.
