The answer is: Cambodia! Called “a-ping”, fried tarantula is a sweet treat to Cambodians. They became a popular snack during the food shortage of 1975-1979 of the Khmer Rouge Regime. Cambodians resorted to eating tarantula, only to find out they like it!
So where in Cambodia can you find this specialty? Go to the source, to Phnom Penh, also known as “Spiderville”, nearest the tarantulas’ burrows. You will also find them in Kampong Thom and Phnom Penh. They’ll cost between $0.12 and $0.50!
The deep fried tarantulas are coated with oil, salt, garlic, and caramelized sugar. They may also have pepper and lime on them. As for what kind to get, make sure they’re deep fried until super-crispy! This way the abdomen of the tarantula is no longer soft and squishy. According to the experts, you should eat the legs first and then the squishy, nutty abdomen.

Like finger foods but not very common is the deep fried tarantula spider which is a delicacy enjoyed in many towns and cities across Cambodia andThailand. Once the tarantula is caught it is then deep fried and added with some bits of salt. They are rich in protein and a pppopular cuisine of Cambodiaand Thailand which they call'.
You usually find this delight from street vendors, freshly cooked after they have been harvested. The crispiest tarantula spider is the best one to eat since the stomach juice may have hardened a little. The spiders are commonly deep fried and coated with sugar solutions so that the hairs of the spider's leg will not tickle your throat.
Before eating it, snap the legs off first and pop the body into your mouth and delightfully chew on it. Wait until you absorb the taste of the mouthwatering flavor which is a little nutty. It is very healthy and stomach churning and a must for adventurous tourists.
