Do NOT buy…save yourself
I’m not one to shy away from more unique snacks or cuisine for that matter. I made the stupid mistake of not reading the reviews before purchasing, but let this be your sign to NOT buy this. I’ve eaten baby crabs before and they are pretty good, but they were fresh and from my local Asian market. These however, smell like fish food , and taste like it as well. I really tried to give it a chance and had multiple of the crabs but it just did not hit. What was worse was the crabs got stuck in your teeth so you just kept tasting it even when you swallowed most of it. I really don’t recommend this product, if you want to try baby crabs I recommend having them fresh and from your local Asian market. Not these dehydrated, fish food tasting crabs! Save your money.

Disgusting!
This was the most disgusting thing I've ever tasted! I love asian food more than most, I've tried plenty of exotic snacks and traditional foods. I've had this fresh in a market before and this was not the same by any means! When I opened the bag it smelt like cat piss, and if you could take that smell and taste it, thats exactly what it tasted like. Completely disgusting!

Good
I was a little worried after seeing the negative reviews, but it was actually delicious. The flavor is similar to a typical Asian dried seafood snack, very authentic. I think some people might not be used to it if they haven’t tried it before, but to me it tasted great. I’d definitely consider ordering again.

Just No
Whew! These smelled more like fish food than human food. I even double checked the label because they were so bad. Maybe good for some, but not me!

No.
I love seafood and Asian snacks! I always find it interesting and enjoyable to take a bite out of different cultures.. but this.. this… this was just so horrific. I blame me for ignoring the red flags.. 1. The reviews I read before ordering. 2. The smell when I opened the bag. I mean the coating was so misleading.. The coating was sweet and actually good, but the bite and subsequent chewing of the crab was the fishiest mouthful I’ve ever experienced in my life. You know the bucket of close to rotting fish fishermen use for bait? How you think that smells and taste is exactly how this taste. Then the texture of crunchy crab shell get stuck between your teeth but somehow turn to powder as you chew.. the fishy smell and taste also sticks around.. I forced my boyfriend to try it with me because I’m a great girlfriend and he’s now forbid me to order anything ever to try again.. and that makes me sad.. with that being said, the reviews you’re reading isn’t over exaggerating, and they’re the only things online you should actually believe..

Seriously… DO NOT BUY
These are awful. I’ve eaten crazy and weird things, being half Asian, and this is the worst thing I’ve ever tried. I only ate one crab and I never want to eat the. Again. I gave it to my husband, mother, father, uncle and they all agree, it’s “the worst and tastes like stink bait” or even the “inside of a bait shop”. Yes, it’s trending but for all the wrong reasons. Please save yourself the money and DON’T BUY THIS.

Not for me
They tasted more like old crunchy fish with sugar on it.

Sun baked to die
Taste like they were left out to die and coated in sugar and dried again. No spice at all. Just a Wierd sweet flavor mixed with rotting crab. The smell wasn’t off putting so I had high hopes of the taste. I was disappointed to say the least.
