For a long time; crab, lobster, crayfish were seen by the upper class as bugs of the sea and were very inexpensive. It’s only relatively recently did they become hella expensive. My 8th birthday party, I remember getting a pound of snow crab legs (including sides) for $6.99 at a nice seafood restaurant. I was born in the 90s, so it wasn’t that long ago!
Til: insects and shellfish are basically the same thing.
Shrimps is bugs
Delicious bugs.
now I’m wondering if all bugs are as delicious as shrimp.
They are not. Bugs taste like bugs.
Supposedly pill bugs taste similar, and are of the same family.
Not just shellfish! They’re all part of the arthropod family! So that would also include lobsters and crabs!
Bug meat
