UMAYA - Okabe Kanikko - Ready To Eat Fried Japanese Baby Crabs - With A Hint Of Sweet Honey and Savory Seasonings - Crunchy Gourmet Snack From Japan - Individual 2.3oz (65g) Snack Size Bag - Pack of 1

I typically like seafood and fish of all types. So I enjoy trying new seafood related treats. These are not something I enjoyed at all. They smell like rotting fish and im pretty sure the drying process is just throw them out in the sun until they rot and dry. The coating tastes ok but as soon as you crunch into them it's rotten tasting. Definitely not worth the $15 I paid to try it. I tried 2 crabs and a claw even with soy sauce it still not something that's edible.

I love crab and was looking forward to this dried snack. It did not smell good and tasted even worse. I tried them and didn't like them. Put them away for a few days and tried them again. This may be an acquired taste but it was horrible and I tossed the entire bag into the trash. Even my cat did not want to eat one. The only positive thing I can say is the crunch factor was satisfying but the overwhelming and not in a good way, fishy taste made this a lesson learned. Some things are not meant to be eaten and this is one of them.

I never want to yuck someone else’s yum you know. You are eating a whole crab, shell and all so the texture is as expected, once it’s chewed into really small pieces it’s like eating egg shells or chewing sand. The smell is also as expected, yes, fish food is what it smells like because most fish food is ground crab and/ or shrimp but in reality that’s what crab smells like if it didn’t come to you drown in butter and Cajun seasoning. The seasoning was sweet but not spicy, you’re meant to taste the crab not just the seasoning. This isn’t for everyone but the quality was good, packaging was reasonable and responsible. I cannot eat them again but that’s my personal preference and nothing negative about the product itself.

I enjoyed the crunch of this product. It has a sweet seafood taste as it should because it is crabs. I would prefer it in a tangy or mild spicy instead of the sweet. I did suffer with Covid at one time and my smell did not fully recover. So I did not smell a heavy smell but could tell this is not a snack you want to eat if you want to be around people. I would not purchase this again because I did find it to sweet. I would if I could find it in Tangy or mild spicy.

I saw these on TikTok a few times and decided to try them and i don’t know what I was expecting but it wasn’t this. When you take a bite all you get is a hard shell that stabs into your gums with an overwhelming smell of the ocean and a slight sweet taste that clashes so badly with everything that’s going on. Great price and something fun for a gag gift. I may not be the target audience for this but I won’t waste my money again.
