fwiw, I was actually asking about that apparent squarish opening at the top of the fuselage...that seems to have an arrow pointing downwards?
As for "bigger than sand fleas"...I've seen pics of some big'uns, but didn't know they might be edible.
Hard pass

Cheers!

I'm gonna guess that that bump contains the satcom antenna(s). I don't think the dark part is an opening.

And those other things look a lot like Aussie lobsters. I'd eat them.

Brew on

All of the satcom antenna arrays I've seen are housed in bumps. That looks like a vent? The lighting makes it hard to tell what that actually is - it does look like it sticks up above the skin, but it doesn't look anything like the satcom bumps I've seen.

As for the bugs...while I love lobsters and crawfish, I'm not sure that huge "sand fleas" are going to make the cut

Cheers!

Here's a pretty cool pic, flying over the fjords of western Greenland at 36000 feet. What I thought was cool is you can actually see the shadow of our vapor trail in the water!

Currently laying over for 4 hours in Dallas.

P.S. yes, it's a satcom antenna. And the bugs taste like lobster, but not much more than a bite in each half.

Not for over 4 hours I hope!!!

Moreton Bay Bugs. Smaller than a lobster, bigger than a sand flea, but reminiscent of both. Tastes like lobster, but a little sweeter. These are cut in half lengthwise.

Moreton Bay Bugs! Good Stuff there. I tried them when I was in Noosa.

With all of the Pandemic talk on the Mainstream media maybe we need to start thinking more about Oktoberfest.

I didn't know fish had balls. Learn something new every day.

 

[day_trippr]

Ok, so what does one use fish balls in?

In best Forrest Gump voice-“There’s fried fish balls, boiled fish balls, steamed fish balls, curried fish balls, fish balls in stir fry, fish ball kebabs...”

For the rare on-topic reply from me, they are used in soups,hot pot and dumplings. Kind of like the weird meatball in pho.
