he little white ones remind me of the bugs that Khan put in Checkov's ear in Star Trek 2

Yuck, those are dizzz-gusting!! And I thought the Hagfish was bad . . .

"Hagfish: a primitive, jawless fish which protects itself with a thick layer of glutinous slime"

I found one of those isopods in a Ling's gills last year!!

NASTY!!!! But kinda cool too!!

I had a 10" version of those bugs in a floating restaurant in PI.  I thought it taste just like lobster meat but a little sweet.  With soy,lime and rice it was delicious.  It really looks like a walking lobster tail from above.

  The little ones look like prime perch bait!

yeah man. that is a bit rough. 
Gonna have to check my tongue to make sure its mine now.... eek

Wow, that's frickin nasty.  Sorry, but all the lime/soy sauce in the world wouldn't get me to take a bite of that thing!  But you gotta post the pic up, maybe it was all in the presentation?

Kuya Rey,
they call them in Cavite (Province near the coast) as Calamantaha (alupihang dagat).. they really taste like lobster probably better.. its just hard to take the meat out its shell

I've found them in probably 30% of my lings and ocean caught halibut. Those little muthers bite, careful when handling them.

I have not found my pic yet but here is a pic from one of the seafood restaurants in PI.
