I've never understood why people are grossed out by insects, but eating prawns is OK. Stop and look at a prawn. How exactly is it any different at all to an insect? It's all down to PR.

Dry roasted caterpillars are really nice

Deep-fried in peanut oil and seasoned with special shaky spices, FRESH CAUGHT ANCHOVIES(in your cast net while you wait for the big ones)!!

Deep fry any edible insects in the same fashion, tasty!!

Yeh, I had grasshoppers in melted cheese once. Was actually very tasty. Texture wasn't at all offputting. Wasn't chewey, just had a bit of a crunch like brown rice or something. Tasted good too, like seafood. Frankly I find it a lot less repulsive than say, oysters or mussels. Its more like eating whitebait. I think if I had the option I'd give up meat in favour of insects.
