Boiling Mantis Shrimps at Dai Pai Dong

[Slacking02]

Animal Abuse!

jk jk LMFAO!

[ItsBloxable]

Don't understand why people on the internet are so protective of EVERY organism, despite their uses in cooking. If that view is correct, then I suppose protecting our cows, chickens, and pigs is just the same, Let's protect our cattle from being killed even though they were raised and bred so that we could use them for food. That makes complete sense...

[rimidalvetarak]

wow I never though mantis shrimp can be eaten. Well I suppose we even eat shark. yum yum yum.....

[Multivits]

Type in "how to boil crawfish" All of you racist's will see that the Yanks do the same thing but in a massive scale. The only difference is, is that there are no racist/verbal insults directed at the yanks on theyre video posts. Strange how its ok for for the white man to do it but not the yellow?? Hypocrites...

[LOSER8100]

Fuck you

[christosswc]

Let's just say I wouldn't shed a tear if all these people accidentally fell into boiling water.

Consider that racist if you like.

[polentoni28]

@christosswc what about americans and europeans who bail crab, lobster and crayfish alive? do they all deserve to die as well? because that would decrease the white population significantly you fuckin cunt

[christosswc]

@polentoni28 I don't give a fuck about the Europans and Americans you refer to.

I commented on the assholes I see on this video.

Oh,yea, you fucking cunt.

[simplyjongen]

grosss

[Jamushu21]

It's a kinda sadistic way of killing shrimps at least kill them first

[Stunt101Rider]

asians would boil children if it was legal...

[laugh190]

I hate this....

[grimmblade09]

i'd take 2 or 3 mantis shrimps for my aquarium.. if were there!

[inturn23]

Chang!!!

[0sername]

Wow, that's just torture, I understand eatin them but, at least kill them first, who boils one ALIVE, I bet yay wouldn't lik it if u were in a oven

[DrewQuinnFTW]

DIE MOTHER FUCKER DIE!

[UkPR0]

fucking zipper eyes

[DaZe858]

^____________^ *peace sign*

[thekingzliar]

Idiots

[coliecolie110]

Eating mantis shrimps makes you ugly.How come the scrimps didn't club them?

[senglit]

btw, im not trying to be cruel or something but .... they really taste good.

[SpadeAce90]

ching chong ching chong nip nong nong

[xXsabbath180Xx]

WDF are they doin?! D: Mantis Shrimp are the coolest animals ever!

[ZaneTheCarpenter]

@xXsabbath180Xx Apparently delicious too.

[Multivits]

If you look up "cray fish boil/ craw fish boil" in you tube, u will see loads of videos of AMERICANS doing exactly the same. I dont see what the problem is. The majority of you's just seem plain ignorent! somewhere to rant your racist views??

[JessMenu]

@Multivits Thank you.

[NewEdge04GT]

sick fuckin gooks.

[Mumbamumba]

@NewEdge04GT

Yeah - especielly since our beef and pork and shit is fondled to death, right?

[thejuanandonly505]

damn asians. this is why they eat cats and dogs to cause mantis shrimp is like weed its a gateway drug

[Maetriox]

Hell yeah! kill those damn shrimps!

[xXGarretWCostaXx]

lol, chinese woman that are from china always look so unnattractive. they must have a very different idea of "sexy" over there

[justletitallgo]

@xXGarretWCostaXx You're an idiot. You're generalizing billions of people from the small percentage you have seen. In every area there are people that are considered less attractive and more attractive. Also, have you ever been to China? If you have, what areas have you gone too or how much time did you spend walking around. I'm sure you will find that there are attractive ones. In terms of what is sexy, just about every culture has different viewpoints on that.

[xXGarretWCostaXx]

@justletitallgo but are you acting like those are the only chinese people i've ever seen?

[justletitallgo]

@xXGarretWCostaXx no, I am dealing with the fact that you said "always". When you say always, it means you are dealing in absolutes. There is very rarely anything that is always a certain thing. Now, on the other hand, if you are using the word "always" more like "very often, most of the time etc." then I would agree with you.

[xXGarretWCostaXx]

@justletitallgo if i knew some douchebag was going to be picking apart my sentences, then maybe i wouldve worded myself more carefully mofo. and if you're going to go around getting offended over youtube comments, good luck with real life

[justletitallgo]

@xXGarretWCostaXx wow, calling me a douchebag huh? Real classy there. And getting a comment on youtube picked apart? wow, definitely the first time it has ever happened huh? In "real life", people are always picking apart the things you say. Just look at the media for some examples. And YouTube is a very real part of "real life" and so is taking offense to things that are offending. If you don't understand that, then you need to wake up to reality.

[xXGarretWCostaXx]

@justletitallgo im not going to censor myself for your "classy" and easily offended ways. I'm going to say what I feel because I do not give a shit whether or not i'm politically correct. and alot of real life is offensive. in the words of a great man, "If i,ve offended you, sorry, maybe you needed to be offended. and if i appalled you, then FUCK YOU!" - peace brosef

[justletitallgo]

@xXGarretWCostaXx Haha, I think this is funny. This whole conversation between you and I is well beyond what the original topic was even about. On my account, I'm sorry that you took such offense to the comments I left. Had I known the way you would react I probably wouldn't have said anything in the first place. I realize now that you are the type of person who can't keep his cool and be mature enough to have a conversation about something. I hope you have a good day. Enjoy watching videos! :D

[sengfar964]

no offence, but i just have to say this: HOW THE F*** COULD YOU DO THIS YOU BARBARIC BEASTS?! like i said, no offence, i just find it offencive to cook and eat such amazing creatures, but not other fish, like cod, salmon, etc.

[Kcon83]

@bgldesigns

Lol that makes it all alright then,,,

Wished that guy got punched by one of them, that would have been funny.

[nblax41]

know why the water changes color? they all defficate immediately when they hit it

[PastelStudios]

outch

[xEvelynLinx]

Oh Asian people...

[otscheeey]

@xEvelynLinx fuck you..

[xEvelynLinx]

@otscheeey The fuck is your problem?

[agltbialik]

@xEvelynLinx Don't mind them. They have no idea who they're talking to.

[aggiebluengold]

@xEvelynLinx If you can't respect another culture's delicacies, or can't express your feelings about it without being a racist about it, then don't do it. The food you eat probably isn't very ethical in other cultures' perspective either.

[xEvelynLinx]

@aggiebluengold Did you even bother to check my Youtube page and my videos before you decided to label me a racist? I'm Chinese.. I'm simply expressing my amusement that these people decided to film these live mantis shrimp being boiled alive...

[Cerulian15]

mmmmmmmm, nuthin better than aquatic bugs.

[dajoeng]

Asians definitely enjoy it fresh.

[SonaraRuna]

Uhm, actually, these guys are pretty tasty. Had some before, it was kinda like lobster. It sure looked weird, though.

[aggiebluengold]

@SonaraRuna They're freaking good! People who can't respect another culture's delicacies are blind assholes.

[L00NGB00W]

Yummy.

[BGLDESIGNS]

calm down people marine animals nervous systems are not as advanced as ours, so they may not feel the sharp sense of pain we do, plus i'm sure they don't feel emotions like sadness.

[Railware]

@BGLDESIGNS Agreed. They would only feel enough to know that something was wrong.

[Jonnylesliewinter]

@BGLDESIGNS im pretty sure sadness would be the last thing going through anything or ones mind if they were being boiled alive :P

[thaishu]

that fucking corn looks delicious

[beowolf106105]

@thaishu LMAO, Your Fucking Funny!

[o0Guns0o]

Those dont look like MANTIS shrimp. Yup they arent look at how many feet they have and stuff. Americans have crayfish feasts and other contries have shit to. Tons of fish are caught and die anyways.

[o0Guns0o]

Those dont really look like MANTIS shrimp.

[Amanite2]

The sick thing with this video isn´t the fact that they are eating what some of ous would call a "pet" over here in europe (atleast in Sweden where i live). The thing thats bothering me is that over here we in fact pay up to 100$ per ex of theese animals. The asian dumb-asses could make a fortune just getting them here instead of eating them up.

[rocco420]

@Amanite2 maybe we value the taste more than the fortune. and from raising them and alternatively eating them, they're more fragile and fickle than you imagine. pets in this vein aren't cared for as well or as expertly as they would if they were food.

[yodayoutube]

@Amanite2 you pay $100 for a shrimp. who is the dumbass?

[Amanite2]

@yodayoutube

I didn´t say i personally would pay this for the shrimp did i??

But whatever you think of it, its a fact and it is not me that could make a lot of money of it but still don´t. So, who do you really think is the dumbass... :D

[Thunderpants121]

Are they any good?

[aggiebluengold]

@Thunderpants121 They're extremely good. It's like eating a lobster, but if cooked correctly, it's like freaking heaven in your mouth.

[MarcellaB100]

Fucking Sick  People !

IDIOTS

[aggiebluengold]

@MarcellaB100 If you can't respect other cultures' delicacies, take a look at your own food and try to see how gross it can be in other perspectives. Then imagine how it would sound when someone's calling you fucking sick for the shit you put in YOUR mouth that you call food. Have some respect.

[rddaos]

@aggiebluengold

look at these sick asian pychopaths. enjoying the pain of other creatures being tortured for food.

[simonche88]

There are so many ways to cook these mantis in China, but I like the deep fried way, very tasty with chineses white wine and shark fin soup... my mouth is watering :)

[EyalSpirit]

Stupid people. These are living beings with feelings. They feel pain just like people do. What is wrong with you people!

[iTsL0GiC]

Technically scientists say its not a shrimp... but it looks like one to me... and I don't get why all the hate towards the Asian culture.. that's how racism starts people. Let them eat their 'shrimp' and you eat whatever you want to eat. Without Asia you may not have a lot of things you have today, whether it be cultural, technological or culinary just to name a few.

[starshock01]

well...it is a shrimp afterall...

[Scar246]

Do they taste different then normal shrimp of the same size?

[Kwonbon]

All but a few of you that have posted comments here are fucking idiots. Lobster WTF Rawrtards for the longest time we boiled lobster alive what's the difference?!?! Ohhhh and maybe you narrow minded fucks could be a little more open minded of other cultures. Additionally w/ all the other vids of shithead assholes dropping various creatures into a contained tank for a Mantis Shrimp to destroy I would think that this one vid isn't that big a deal. Shit!!! You people are idiots!!!!

[Itsyoungdoz]

id like to see u vs 1 in the ocean

[d4rk4knight]

called Pissing Shrimp in the asian culture...suppose to be really good lol

[OMGitsStillGoing]

sick fucks

[rodris20000]

Pinche chinito culero deperdida matalas entes de meterlas al agua hierveindo ya veras en el infierno se te van a coser los webos de todos lo dias ,,fuking chino

[reefturkey]

Nasty shit.

[BremenWalle]

Quite pathetic taking pleasure in seeing innocent creatures die. The most humane way is to freeze them first and then boil them instantly, that way they are barely conscious.

[Bidmartinlo]

Poor things... instead of frying them to death, why not just kill it on the spot (fast) and then put it in. It is sad to the shrimps fight against the heat. :(

[SkwerlStyle]

Everyone who's talking shit on this video is an idiot. Humans have survived off of protein from other living organisms since the beginning of man. I can say without hesitation that we wouldn't be here without it. The world isn't all fluffy talking animals and shrimp with feelings. You are naive and ignorant.

[dimitraeus202]

Of course animal cruelty is bad, but I would guess this is actually the best way to cook these. If you scewered their brains beforehand (instant kill) would it not affect the cooking since the shell is broken. I would guess this is so hot that they don't feel much for too long. Probably shouldn't cheer tho'....

[module07]

That's right. Cheering tells you all you need to know about these people.

[Beidlbruada]

man, it is a saying in our country: how a society is treating it's animals, it is treating it's humans too.

well, i hope they pissed in your soup.

[81kamill]

Leave it to typical asians like these to... over fish and enjoy watching things suffer

Lol... pretty pathetic Why would you wanna post this video up anyways? Its not even educational

No im not crying just wondering why would you post this video and yet it holds nothing of educational Material its just a buncha typical Asian's who enjoy watching things suffer for their own dinner amusement yet if one of you were to lay on the ground suffering you surely wouldn't like it now would u?

[rsputin12]

its all fine and good that u eat that...but it is cruel to boil them alive.

[Satanperkele]

How do you think they should kill them then?

Crush them with a hammer?

Boiling them is the fastest and least cruel way,

the water has to be boiling as fuck though.

[Digglepie]

hey guess what?

water boils at 100 degrees celcius, no more, no less

[Satanperkele]

ofc i know that, i'm not THAT retarded. :P

[justletitallgo]

@Digglepie Actually thats not true. The boiling temperature for water is 100 degrees Celsius at sea level. That means that depending on the elevation, water will boil at different temperatures.

[leeboy1996]

damn looks good

[30GB]

poor shrimp but at least they eat it than just only killing it

[RainingGame]

shit, i could go for some mantis shrimp right about now.

[godlood]

mantis shrimps are pretty good! but they cost alot =\

[purongpinoyako]

go to hagonoy bulacan philippines its almost free.. im from there..

[PokemonTrainer2420]

im asain but i dont like when they get killed

[butterfly9234]

LOL mantis shrimp tastes gooood <3

[kulangotses]

i hate when asians are laughing while seeing their food dying before they eat them...

I'm an asian, but I only smile when i kill a squirrel..

[minisparrow]

fuckin gooks. if they just sold all those as pets they would have hella money

[damientran]

What savage and barbaric people! Put your fingers up your behinds and dip it in the boiling water and see if you still laugh.

[Multivits]

I dont think theyre savage or barbaric.. It would be savage if they werent going to eat them...

The millions of tons of fish caught each year are left to suffocate out of water!! They are not individually stunned!!

Crabs as well as lobsters are always boiled alive...

Not too mention those famous american Crawfish feasts!! The crawfish are boiled alive in exactly the same manner!!

[rddaos]

@Multivits

they are such savages.  enjoying the sight of shrimp slowly boiling to death. normal civilized human beings do not enjoy torturing animals for food.

[whorgasmatron]

comment on the fucking video!

not your gay ass lifestyles!

i love killing!

those shrimpees squirm good!

REAL good

[thEsPamer106]

fuck you they can sell for a minamal of 40 bucks were i am. what a waist.

[xxdmdxx]

they make good eats where i am froom fuck you =]

[thEsPamer106]

froom?wtf is a froom?

and btw, LOOK AT THE DAMN TIME STAMP ON COMMENTS,ASS HOLE!!

[xxdmdxx]

from way to look like a keyboard warrior. attacking my typing error ASS HOLE!!

[thEsPamer106]

you are taking the assatrie approach.

im sorry, but i am fucking fed up of you fucking flamers going to a comment thats 6 months old and going "lolwtfstfuroflmao"

[xxdmdxx]

it wasn't a flame it was a statement saying that we eat those from our region good job jerk

[DRAGONLEE08]

pffff you cant barbeque a celery, forget being vegetarian....just like homer says "you dont make friends with salad" hahahaha

[gnarkillkicksass]

ahh the pissing shrimp. hope it went down well with some $18 dai pai dong tsing taos!

[BIGgourami]

mm.. stomatopods.. good eating, sweeter than crab.. i believe that was Oratosquilla oratoria? a larger species of spearer mantis, very commonly eaten in many SE asian countries..

lobster and crab are both boiled alive?? no bodies said anything about that...

[SQUILLA898]

I'm against boiling anything alive. I figure, if you would refrain from doing it to a fellow human, don't do it to anyone else.

[BIGgourami]

i wouldn't noil a human alive as i dont intend to eat a human..

if they had left the lid closed they would have died in less than 5 second.. ain't EXACTLY quick an painless but better than what happens when you open the lid

[SQUILLA898]

You're not getting it. It's simply wrong to boil someone alive. It constitutes as torture. If you don't want to die like that, why would you do it to someone else?

[BIGgourami]

so they should be eaten alive?

how should they die for food?

yo realize seafood spoils INCREDIBLY fast in places like store refrigerators, imagine what it's like in hot humid evironemts.. it' not like they can kill and have it sit around a few hours or days...

[SQUILLA898]

They shouldn't be eaten at all! People have no need to eat meat in the first place, so it's pointless to go through all of the trouble of preparing it like this.

[BIGgourami]

so we should all be vegans?

who's to know if plants dont feel pain...

who's to know anything about anything but themselves?

you're about to enter a GIANT philosophical debate which hasn't seen one step in either direction since the beggining of time...

[SQUILLA898]

Ideally, humans should be vegetarian. Rates of obesity and mass pollution will drop dramatically, and you could add 20 years to your lifespan. Vegetarianism, not veganism, is the way to go. We still need some dairy products to survive. Second, plants have no nervous tissue or neurons, so pain does not exist for them. Third, I have no problem getting into a debate. It's how people learn to communicate effectively.

[BIGgourami]

true there is no nervous tissue in plants, but how do we know there's no other way to feel.. wwe are all human's, we will always be humans..

we can never fully understand the world as we see it through a human perspective..

we as humns aren't and will never be omniscent nor omnipotent..

we will never fully and trully understand everthing there is to see and know

[SQUILLA898]

Wow. Thanks for that totally unnecesary, mispelled lecture. I'd honestly love to have a mature, logical discussion with you, but I find myself unable to take you seriously sometimes. Can you stick to the point?

[BIGgourami]

i warned you it was stepping out of the realm of cooking seafood.. you wished to proceed...

[SQUILLA898]

Sure. I don't mind.

[bremenlegation]

squilla:

wow, dismiss someone's views because of bad spelling? your a fucking asshole and nothing youve said so far cant be contradicted by something else, including your "conversations about healthy vegan lifestyles with doctors"

"IDEALLY WE SHOULD ALL BE VEGAN"

i guess the 98% of the world who havent taken your suggestion to heart should all go die according to you eh, assnozzle?

[SQUILLA898]

Dude. Why are you getting so excited and swearing? It's just a YouTube video. You're overreacting, and I can't take anyone who swears constantly very seriously. And finally, I don't want anyone to die like you suggested, I just want people to look at a lifestyle that involved not slaughtering animals, not ruining land and aquatic habitats from intensive farming or fishing, and a lifestyle that helps you live longer. Why does that seem to upset you so much? I'm not judging anyone here.

[rotaxmax]

essentially, we are animals, animals eat other animals so why cant we eat animals too, just keep your opinions to yourself, and wel will keep to ours

[SQUILLA898]

First of all, learn elementary school level grammar. Second, our ancestors were vegetarian. We developed canine teeth for tearing into fruit skins. The only reason ancient people ever hunted was because the land they'd migrated too was too nutrient-poor to farm; otherwise, they would have farmed. It's a fact, not an opinion that eating animals is a choice, (and a very poor choice at that), not a necessity. Get your facts straight.

[rotaxmax]

still, they taste great :)

[sarge5000]

canine teeth for fruit skins??? please tell me, exactly how tough is it to tear through a fruit skin. it's a fact that canines are the mark of a predator, used for holding down and biting through flesh. why do you think chimps have them? other monkeys make a sizable portion of their diet. humans are absolutely not naturally vegetarian - if that was the case than that's all we would eat. we are omnivorous, and our bodies are perfectly designed to handle it.  get your facts straight.

[SQUILLA898]

Our canines really are for fruit skins (originally), and chimps really are vegetarian. The only reason humans ever transferred to an omivirous diet was because they had no choice- many moved out to areas that had soil too poor to farm on, and had to hunt. But today, eating meat is completely a choice. Vegetarians live anywhere between 10 and 20 years longer, so it is also a healthier lifestyle. And it doesn't support the world's most ecologically-destructive industries. My facts are straight.

[sarge5000]

i've read a number of these so called "scientific" studies conducted by pro-vegetarians and it's pretty obvious that it's all bs. they twisted science to support their own conclusions like the whole life expectancy thing. basically, none of it's true. and having taking a number of classes on evolution i have never heard anywhere of the idea of canines being for fruit skins other than from vegetarians. i wonder why...

[SQUILLA898]

Every doctor I've spoken to about the matter has (often reluctantly) admitted that vegetarians are, as a group, profoundly healthier than non-vegetarians. I happen to be one, but it's because of what I know about how ecologically destructive and useless the meat industry really is. Most of my friends are veg for health reasons, but working on a minor in environmental studies, I've found nothing but negativity from supporting meat industries or eating meat, so I gave it all up. And it's not B.S.

[sandiegoryu]

I agree with the vegan idea about how the animal abuse present in our farms is a very good reason to become vegan. At least vegetarian.

But please don't say that humans are naturally vegetarian. We did not become meat eaters when we didn't have a lack of food sources. Besides, farming came so much later. You know how we find sharp tools and spearheads from Homo erectus right? They used it for killing living animals.

[sandiegoryu]

Also, if humans lost their food sources when they traveled, you HAVE to ask these questions: Why didn't they die like every other herbivore that dies when they lose their food source? and why the hell did they migrate to a place with little natural food?

We're naturally omnivores!!! Ok?!?!? Natural does not necessarily mean good though. I agree vegetarians lead a healthier life if done correctly. But don't give false facts!!!

[UchihaMartin]

Can you guys stop posting this comments plz? This is a boiling mantis shrimp video and I see this comments lol so what if we're herbivores or omnivores, so what if veg. live longer or gets healthier, I actually live to eat, not eating to live. So having the opportunity to survive eating meat or vegetables is just an advantage among other animals. But the negative thing about eating meat is that it canchange our behaviour, making us becoming more agressive, violent... etc

[sarge5000]

another point, its definitely not pointless. you don't get a microgram of b12 from vegetables, you MUST take supplements(derived from meat) to prevent becoming b12 deficient, so to suggest its pointless, doesn't really make sense. also, in the western world, we have the opportunity to be vegetarians thanks to our wealth whereas the rest of the world doesn't. so it absolutely isn't a choice that everyone on this planet can make - some people simply must consume meat to survive.

[SQUILLA898]

Vitamin supplements are neccesary for both vegetarians and meat-eaters; even many meat eaters are considered low in their B-12 intake. Besides, B-12 can be found in milk, yogurt, eggs, and cheese, so technically, only vegans are the ones who are truly lacking. And there's supplements for that, so it's o.k. And I was speaking of people in developed countries, so I have to agree that elsewhere where food is scarce, (3rd world countries) sometimes people DO have to eat meat to live. But rarely.

[rotaxmax]

a shrimp is not a someone

[SQUILLA898]

What are you talking about? Any living being is a "someone." the word "something" applies only to inanimate objects, like cars and chairs. You said yourself that humans are animals, so shouldn't our fellow animals also be called "someone?" Think about it.

[rotaxmax]

good point, still, other animals eat other animals, and some animals eat us, were just st the top of the food chain, would you prefer to be at the bottom?

[SQUILLA898]

The food "chain" actually isn't a ladder where every species has a place; it's more like a circle. There is no true top or bottom. Our cells and tissues are devoured by disease and bacteria, especially after we die, and we're naturally a vegetarian species, so we're biologically not even close to the so-called "top." And what's so bad about that? We only kill other animals out of choice, not necessity. Self-defense is one thing if we're escaping a predator, but most other killing is pointeless.

[SQUILLA898]

That was fucked up. Being boiled alive is an atrocity.

[rocketman63]

The poor little things. Mantis shrimps are intelligent, we shouldn't eat them!

[D3RK3]

ya so are chickens

[NickLuv311]

chickens are not smart..

[SQUILLA898]

I agree. This is one of the most disturbing videos I've seen on YouTube, and trust me, I've seen a lot. It's not funny to take someone's life, no matter how large or small they may be.
