Pipius clawedit

From Memory Alpha, the free Star Trek reference

A plate of Pipius claw

Pipius claw is a traditional Klingon dish. Commander Will Riker sampled a dish of pipius claw when he attempted to acquaint himself with Klingon culture prior to his temporary assignment aboard the IKS Pagh in 2365. (TNG: "A Matter Of Honor")

In non-canon, Neelix's Star Trek Cookbook suggests quite plainly that pipia (plural for pipius) are actually crustaceans, or at least wetland and ocean bottom dwellers. Also, the book makes a note that this dish is unusual among Klingon meat dishes in that it is "tame" meaning served dead.
