Deep Fried Beetles and Grasshoppers in Skuon in the Cheung Prey District of Cambodia

Skuon, which is in the Cheung Prey District of Cambodia, is famous for its roadside markets that sell deep fried insects including these beetles and grasshoppers, and especially for offering huge tarantula spiders called “a-ping.” They are cooked in oil with plenty of garlic. This practice has earned the town the nickname, “Spiderville.” These fried insects are crunchy on the outside and questionable on the inside.
