Bo lui: the Phu Quoc speciality that walks backwards, looks like a cricket, tastes like shrimp

A tiny crustacean, half a little fingertip long, caught at the water's edge on Bai Truong and Bai Dai. Most plentiful and best in the rainy season, about May–Oct. Local cooks say try it fried with garlic (bo lui chay toi). Source: VietNamNet. Illustration: Phu Quoc Pulse.
