apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

Definitely creepy. People have been eating shrimp and crabs for years and i've never heard of these creatures possessing the power of bioluminescence, and i highly doubt they just spontaneously developed it.

I would think that the fish had to be extremely fresh. I would guess from the water to the table in the same day. And minimally processed. Maybe only steamed or quickly boiled.

So many fish have beautiful vivid colorations that quickly fade after they are taken out of the water.

I think there is a plankton (?) or some kind of tiny organism that is present in seawater occasionally that has a glow. A friend once showed me that if you swish your hands in the sand as the surf goes out, you can see the glow. It seemed very magical.

I think it is even called a phosphorescent tide.

I was thinking about this and did some googling. The phosphorescent tide it the same as a red tide. These are a type of algae bloom and fish from a red tide can make you sick, even fatally. We once had to leave the beach the red tide was so severe my dog was sneezing violently and some relatives became ill. The glowing water is magical but the red tide is dangerous to ingest or to breath. I would be worried about glowing shrimp, the glow is probably from the shrimp ingesting the algae.
