This dish can be found in the mexican cuisine. I ate this dish the other day. I had never tasted it but when I did I discovered that they taste delicious; and not only that; they provide you with calories and protein. They also provide omega3 and 6 fatty acids Cambarellus montezumae is found in fresh water rivers What is your favorite exotic dish?

It is exotic as long as it is not local. I have eaten octopus but not much

I just had to go and check the Cambarellus montezumae. It looked like a kind of shrimp and after reading a bit, I found out that it seems to be a cousin to our sweet water shrimp. If I go to Mexico again, I will have to try it. I love dishes made with sea fruit. My favorite, quite expensive now, is the "chupe de locos", a sort of abalone hot pie.

It is close to the shrimp and tastes also in between shrimp and crab.

Have never heard of chupe de locos. I must try it!

@quantum2020 Come to Chile! Although locos are much smaller now than when I was young. In some parts of the world the abalone can only be eaten by the very rich. We have a crab here, (centolla) who lives in the south of Chile. It is delicious but very expensive too.

@marguicha I will some day pack my things and go to South America. I would like to visit the Andes and the Amazons. I must try Chupe de Locos and Abalone.
