Deep-fried coin-crabs

"What are those?" "Coin-crabs. Reminds me of those happy days we spent frying Yuuzhan Vong."

- Boba Fett and Goran Beviin

Deep-fried coin-crabs were a type of seafood dish served at the Horizon Hotel bar on the Outer Rim world of Taris. Utilizing local coin-crabs, a species of crustacean that was native to the Tarisian coastlines, the small, tasty crabs were deep-fried and served to patrons in bowls.

In the year 40 ABY, the veteran Mandalorian soldier Goran Beviin ordered a bowl of deep-fried coin-crabs while visiting the Horizon Hotel. Beviin enjoyed the crabs' crunchiness, and likened the deep-fried crustaceans to the extra-galactic Yuuzhan Vong whom the Mandalorians had fought close to a decade prior, during the species' invasion of the galaxy.

Behind the scenes
