I thought you might enjoy this Venetian delicacy. I've had it many times and it is delicious. Squilla mantis is fished throughout the region.

shako
shako
is the name for squilla sushi. Had it a while back (shows you how often we go there, the waitress was shocked I'd eat a mantis, what with me having one in a tank), and wasn't that impressed. It was ok, nothing to write home about. Probably because it was frozen. Tasted a lot like fish, more so than some of the fish I was eating.

Fresh shako is quite good. There is also a Japanese specialty with a small squillid - usually a new molt or boiled animal removed from the shell - baked inside of a roll.
Japan has an active squillid fishery and there is also some aquaculture.
