While living in the "seafood capital of the Philippines" aka Roxas City, Capiz. I made inquiry about lobsters. I was told I could get them from a guy ..who knows a guy..who knows a guy..you got it. So my wife and I got off on this darkest night adventure to GodKnowsWhere in Capiz. and out on a pier and were shown some of some slug looking creature and we backed off ..assuming it was another attempt to rip off a Long Nose.. But a year later it seems I was mistaken and talking to a guy who is a *fish monger/trader* worldwide out of Las Vegas NV. They were slipper lobsters and supposed to be good eating. Since that time Ive only seen small ones like the small crabs and prawn we all see. But allowed they do get tails to 8-10inches as I saw that dark night View attachment 11233 more info click here : Slipper lobster - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia :dnr:
any size to what your eating? Id love to try applying them to a Lobster Cantonese recipe .. here are two very close ones..one written the other a video Cantonese Style Lobster Recipe - Allrecipes.com https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lj4eqtW0fu4 :dnr:
Here they used to be called "Pitik pitik" i haven't seen them for years but they used to have them on the menu at the old South seas hotel. that was about 25 yrs ago.. In the Persian Gulf they call them "Sigali's"... Used to go out at night with a big flashlite and just pick them up with our hands.. Great eating
