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

Pas très bon

I purchased this for me and my sisters to try after seeing them on TikTok for years. We were so excited! Until we opened the bag... The packaging itself is very cute, I like the cute cartoon crab. It's also kinda crazy seeing how many little crabs fills one bag alone, it makes you wonder how exactly they harvest them. That being said, as soon as you open the bag you are hit with an overwhelming fishy smell. I hate the smell of fish, I stay away from eating it just because the smell is unappealing. I do, however, love crabs, squid, octopus, shrimps, and anything else. I figured this snack would smell like the sea, but I was not expecting such a putrid odor. Imagine a dirty fish tank, fish food, or the girl your ex told you not to worry about. Anyways. These crabs are like hardened stink bombs. As soon as you take a bite, the smell hits you again like a bus. Ugh, I'm shuddering just thinking about it! The consistency is really hard and stale, again, I was expecting something crunchy but not THAT stale. The taste you get right off the bat is sweet, followed by an overwhelming putrid fishy taste. I simply couldn't, I kept on spitting this out every time I tried to eat one. Even that was hard to do, the desecrated crab shell kept sticking to the inside of my mouth and I'd have to literally wipe my tongue with a napkin. Stay away from these, please. If they were cheaper, I'd say go for it, what's a couple bucks? But this is too much of a price to pay.

It’s absolutely amazing 🦀 It literally tastes like the ocean, lol It is fishy, sweet, and not spicy at all. I understand it’s not for everyone, but I really enjoy the crisp texture and that rich seafood flavor. Diffidently will buy again The negative part it is bit pricy bec of the shipment.

The flavor is more bearable if you take small bites instead of eating a crab whole, and in doing so I can somewhat how this kind of snack could be an enjoyable. But these just have too much off-putting (and somewhat concerning) flavors that left me feeling slightly nauseous. Like others have said, these have a strong and somewhat rotten taste. They have a strong fish food like smell, which I didn't find too bad. But the taste was concentrated fish food with some off-putting/rot flavors and a hint of sweetness. The aftertaste lingers and tastes like wet dog. At the very tail end you get a secondary aftertaste of ocean similar to seaweed. Not only is it not worth the money, it's not worth it in general.

Upon other bag you hit with the strongest fishy smell ever, it’s like when you open a container of fish flakes. The taste is horrible , not sweet just very very fishy and crunchy. The pieces kinda get stuck To your teeth and it leaves a bad aftertaste. Not worth the money spent for horrible quality. The only thing good about this snack is the packaging and the little crabs.
