While I don't share your thoughts on "sea roaches" the salt to which they live in makes them safer to eat than say crayfish or mud bugs. I personally cannot stand the thought of allowing a crayfish to cross my lips. In fact they live in the mud and their guts have to be purged before you can eat them. Many use cornmeal to get them to clean out their digestive tracts before cooking them. Also I am repulsed by crabs because they feed off the decaying flesh of other animals. Then there are tilapia, in farms in Asia they feed them hog, sheep and poultry manure. Food for thought for sure.

Damn, I wanted to see Static's jokes. Ok, don't eat the shrimp or the lobster, save them all for me. Besides, people eat bugs in many cultures for the protein they provide. In the Siege of Stalingrad they ate leather shoes and the bark off of trees they were so hungry. If you were starving you would eat every bug in sight and the dirt they walked on.
I don't think people care that much about it being a sea bug. The texture of a shrimp with cocktail sauce is delightful and unique.
With eating a cockroach i think the more pressing issue is going to be the shell and wings getting between the teeth. Vary little to do with there eating habits.
Even with more staples of meat favorites like beef, pork and poultry it dosen't matter what they eat. Which is almost all corn. and you know what your shit looks like after eating corn. I value a wild shrimp more then a farm animal.
Lol, that image is a shrimp fishing lure.
But I agree. Shrimp have this vein of... stuff in them. Can't tell if it's poop or cooked blood. Looks more like poop. Shrimp itself doesn't taste great, or like anything really.
You compare shrimp that you buy at the store and shrimp at a sushi restraunt and they both taste different, meaning shrimp doesn't have an innate flavor. Just douse it in cocktail sauce so maybe you can have some sensation on your tastebuds, make it worth that gritty poop vein.

shrimp is really the only seafood i eat
i only eat shrimp on my birthday and Christmas because it's so expensive here, but it's really good in my opinion \o/ if you don't like shrimp, then keep the comments about people who do like it to yourself. calling people gross and vile over their personal food preference is very immature and doesn't make you look like a good person.
Sea bugs are delicious.
Humans eat regular bugs, so this argument is invalid.
Refer to the popular packaged flavored cooked bugs sold at many tourist attractions.
PS, most of the foods humans eat contain rodent hair and feces. How do you feel about that?This has the same logic as "If you're a guy, you're automatically gay because you kiss girls and girls kiss guys. You're kissing someone who likes to kiss guys. Therefore, you are gay as fuck."
It's funny af, but it's stupid lmaoWhat's wrong with shrimp? It's like one of the best things in the sea?
Plus that's the way the sea is, if you don't like it then don't eat it, I'll eat extra!No, I disagree it's a matter of preference I enjoy shrimp, raw or fried or boiled. I think that beets are the grossest thing on earth, & egg plant is a close second so does that mean everybody who eats beets & eggplant are gross, of course not.
They're Sea Roaches.
How does it feel? Pretty good I guess. They taste good and give me no negative effects after doing so.
Shrimp are like the chicken nuggets of the sea & with a few grill marks, a little butter & dipping sauce those flocking things are great! I like shrimp on the barbie & sometimes fried & never raw.
Someones culture has a lot of influence on what they like as far as food goes. Yes you can dislike foods that are a part of your culture. What people of one culture might find gross people of another culture might consider to be a delicacy. I do like eating shrimp.
disagree but i love shrimp lol
Also crabs and lobsters are also crustaceans. are they gross too in your book?
(I love them too. I'm from MD originally. Crabs are in my blood lolol)I don't like them but I kinda have to eat some at family gatherings I already get enough crap for not eating oysters or getting smashed
Shrimp is pretty big in my culture :)
Especially since my dad is from Sinaloa, they’re delicious my fav is wrapped in bacon and stuffed with cheese 💦
I had some very delicious ones out in rosarito in December when visiting my dad.I don't eat non-vegetarian food as I am a vegetarian.
I do get grossed out at the sight of non-vegetarian food, but I have nothing against people who eat it.
I personally wouldn't eat non-vegetarian food.I think of shrimp as the Cockroaches of the sea!! Hate them, and won't eat that crap!
Ahahahaha 😆🤦... I read the update... You're literally the BEST person on this site. 🤣🤣🤣
Come here my little precious one!!! Have you ever tried some valentina sauce? No? Well you are about to! 😋
Oh man I could eat bucket of them. I tried grasshoppers in Oaxaca as well with chile and avacado! Tastes like dries shrimp. 👍I used to like eating shrimp but you helped change my mind! Now I’ll stick to fish I think.
It's Better than eating human flavored ice cream which has been made by turkish people.
So as you can see they're not so gross anymore. You're Welcome!Shrimp are also bottom feeders; so not only are they sea bugs, but they are sea dung beetles.
