A deep-sea isopod called the "Great King-Legged Worm" is now the centerpiece of a new dish at a ramen shop in Taipei. The giant, 14-legged creature, found at depths of at least 550 feet in the Atlantic, is the store's "dream ingredient," the restaurant Ramen Boy said in a Facebook post on Monday.

Ramen Boy assured customers that the crustacean tastes just like lobster and crab meat when steamed, and that its "yellow glands taste like crab roe."

Boiled in chicken soup and served with squid and bonito flakes, the King-Legged Worm ramen costs around $48 a bowl, according to Ramen Boy.

Diners will receive their ramen topped with the isopod's shell and antennae, which the restaurant said is just for decoration.
