A beautiful beast.
I also enjoyed the morbidity of the article pointing out how much we have to learn from these creatures yet also how we sear them in butter.
- matt_the_bass 9y agoIf you can get them live, you need neither butter or searing. Just a quick cut with a scallop knife. :) When diving for them, they definitely see me and will close tight. But unlike as the article mentions, I’ve never seen them propel themselves away. I have however seen trails in the sand of where they’ve come from. The impression I have is they move slowly to better position themselves to capture food.
