Cooking and eating cicadas 

Good stuff mate. Love the nickname 'bush prawn' haha I've been wanting to try cicadas for a while. I'll have to do it before summer's over. So you don't eat the head?

You just showed me I overrated my manliness. Hats off brother!

Brood X emerging soon on the east coast USA; came looking for cooking tips. Great video, thanks! Wish me luck!

Brood X is emerging this summer, I’ll definitely be trying this recipe and a few others!

I`ve eaten them here in Louisiana, USA. Fried them crispy in bacon grease and sprinkled them with Cajun seasoning.

OK, NEVER HAVE I THOUGHT ABOUT CICADAS!! Im grossed out and intrigued at the same time!!

Love that you call them “bush prawns” I will never look at cicadas the same again

Not something I'd likely try - but interesting to learn about!

This is awesome, thanks for sharing how to prepare and cook cicadas. Who would have thought they hold the same amount of protein as beef!

The Great Emergence is this spring for the Midwest in America. Planning a river camp with the boys and hope I get some to cook up. Cheers from Wisconsin. Keep up the great vids.

Awesome mate . Never actually seen cicadas cooked up and something I have learnt today . 👍🍻

for those of us who love Mexican food, please make a bush tucker taco. there's gotta be a way to make a tortilla and put some cicadas in there.

This is great stuff for a channel niche brother. Bush skills are a dying art in todays world of convenience - keep bringing it!

You had me at garlic and chilli 👍

When I cooked up some cicadas a few years ago they had somewhat of a shrimpy texture (the meat), the flavor wasn't appealing unless you had seasoned it with salt, garlic, etc. Boiling was worse.

simplest recipe yet. Been eating them occasionally for 30 years. In good years, I freeze some for Halloween alternative with candy, and they always go fast, even to parents.

Hahah Deano! Nice work.

Awesome cheers

I had no idea cicadas grew so big. I’d be willing to try them without the wings and the head.

Many ways to cook and eat them stir fry with noodles, fry in peanut oil and put in salad, stuff in a jalapeno pepper breaded and fried, make Navajo Taco's with fried cicada's. I've made at least 30 dishes with them not counting desserts! You eat the whole cicada!

They look delicious, if your indigenous🤣🤣 Nah hats off Digga!! 👍🏻👍🏻

On ya deano!

If you are a motorbike rider; eating bugs is nothing new!

Well my yards full of them so I won’t have to work hard for the experience and experiment 😂😂😂off we go then..

We are expecting a record bunch of Cicadas here in North Carolina. I have been eating bugs for a while as well as my Scout troop. After frying do you take the wings as well as the legs off. If you eat the whole thing does the upper body take away from the peanut taste.??? I found grasshoppers as well as scorpions to be very tasty.

Isn't there a digestion area?

Can you cook it with any kind of cicada

Shouldn't those come with cocktail sauce?

Any tips on catching them? Thanks mate

I've heard of people collecting them at night just as they emerge from their shells and soft all over. Then basically prepare exactly as you did and then eat the entire thing. Have you ever done them this way?

Can we eat the green ones ?

So you eat only the abdomen/ thorax, whatever? No head?

I just can't get over the psychological aversion to eating a bug. It's silly I realize it, and I guess if I was starving I would devour them, but until then, I'll stick to beef and chicken!

I'd rather eat cicadas than bloody meat. )

why not at least cut the wings off??
