The Africans tried using Triops as a potential food source back in the 1980s. But as with any small shrimp, it’s flavour is governed by what you feed it.

It’s carapace is pretty chewy I’m told.

The African researchers didn’t find Triops cancriformis (larger than Triops longicaudatus) very appetising at all.

Probably better to keep this common animal as pets? )

I had already purchased a bundle of triops from the thinkgeek website and actualy had some on my desk at work for decoration. I looked them over. Thought about it. And decided to give this a try. Afterall they are part of the family of shrimp i’m pretty sure. And I must say that it was very very good.

I would suggest adding some peprika though, it adds that extra zing.
