On one of his dives he encounters small creatures, shrimp, I think, that live on the ocean floor next to a volcanic vent. He says the temperature of the water in which they live is hot enough to melt lead, which is at least 621.5 degrees Fahrenheit.

Okay, suppose you captured some of these shrimp like things with some kind of trap you brought down on your sub, robotic arm, yada, yada.

Of course being the adventurous type you want to eat one when you get back to the surface. These little berkeleyers live in 600+ degree water (Imagine the physiological differences between it and us!) so my question is;

How would you cook it?

They are pre-cooked

I found the documentary riveting, definitely worth a watch.

Are you sure they're living in 621F water and not just near it? AFAIK no complex life has been discovered that can live in such temperature extremes.

Not entirely. It was something Jimmy said while piloting his sub around. Still, them E36 M3s live in some hot ass water and my oven only goes to 500. I could pop them in there and they'd be likely to look at me and say, "Bit nippy in 'ere, innit?"

They speak Cockney.

They live near it. Just like clusters of tube worms Bob Ballard discovered. Their microcosm is very small.

I'd imagine that if you eat them you are really just eating frozen shrimp.

Turn the oven up to 750, duh!
