Finger Shrimp

The finger shrimp is a native of the Sea of Jade, where massive swarms of it can be found feeding upon plankton. However, not a few find their way around to the shores of La Noscea.

Not a fish but a crustacean, finger shrimp are quite popular among connoisseurs of seafood. Indeed, all strata of society now enjoy them. The traditional method of preparation is to boil them and serve with a garnish of lemon juice, but as culinary techniques have expanded, so have the options.

Finger shrimp are counted a critical ingredient in bouillabaisse; they are skewered with tuna in miq'abobs. The peasant dish known as wastrel's wedge--deep-fried shrimp served with bread and mustard--is now served with great attention to detail at the Bismarck, the shrimp supplied by Levemetes.
