I hope that they'd taste like lobster tails. I wonder what a horseshoe crab is like to eat... maybe they are similarly flavored to trilobites. Maybe they taste like giant isopods. I bet there was some variety.

Kolihapeltis was probably too spiny, I'd chow down on a Drotops any day. I too hold to the fantasy that they tasted like lobster tails. That'd be fantastic!

Someday (when I could afford to) I'd like to try an piece together a convincing looking trilobite out of real seafood. I'd probably fake the cephalon, or the front of a horseshoe crab carapace would do if it was the right size. A big old lobster tail would be the axis. pleurae could be shrimps..... mmmmmmm......

If I ever get enough trilobites together for an art show, it'll be time for the trilobite dinner party!

What parts of a trilobite would actually be edible anyway? How much is known about their internal anatomy (presumably speculatively)?

I've seen pics of fossilized internal anatomy of trilobites... looked like mostly a digestive canal. I can still dream....
Check out this page on trilobite internal anatomy:

Interesting article - thanks. Yeah, it doesn't look like there was much to eat on them. The legs on the pelagic species or the really big bottom-dwellers might have been ok though...

Maybe there'd be some meat on a big isotelus....

Maybe if ya cracked open the pygidium, there'd be a slab of meat you could dip in garlic butter.
