Mantis shrimp is commonly called "sasamba" or "alupihang dagat" here in the Philippines. But I call it "poor man's lobster" since lobster is too expensive here.

The mantis shrimps that we got are kinda small but these are fatties. Paired with rice and some spicy vinegar, this is definitely a winner.
