Not edible
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.

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..

Acquired taste
After reading the reviews I was worried about the smell and taste. Yes there is a fishy smell but they’re crabs. They come from the ocean. There’s gonna be a fishy smell. They taste like sweet imitation crab meat. Yes they are a little sweet but that’s because they are candied. Nothing overpowering. I ate the whole package in 2 sittings. They are an acquired taste for sure but I found them to be delicious. I will definitely be repurchasing.

YUK! GROSS! EWWW!
This product smells like the penguin house at the zoo. It smells super fishy, but dirty fishy with a hint of urine. It tastes almost the same as the way it smells but with a sweetness that masks the taste some. To be very clear, there is no taste of crab meat. The texture of the shell is like eggshells and sunflower seed shells mixed. I'm disposing of this product because it's not to my liking or even bearable. You win some you lose some. I tried it because of a person I follow on IG who seems to really love these. She can have my pack because I don't want it. Absolutely positively and negatively NO!! 04/20/2025

Too fishy, No crab flavor.
I absolutely love Dried shrimp and Absolutely love anything like this. Even had dried fish. This is entirely something different. U will not even be able to guess what these taste like and I promise on God and everything that this is not good. Initial bite it is very crunchy Whitch is nice. And sweet Whitch is a coating they put on the shells. But what about the inside? That's what matters right? Well once u get through the crunch and the sweetness u are hit with the fishiest taste u will ever taste. I'm not overreacting, I eaten strait dried out baby fish and these still taste almost triple as fishy. Not even any bit of crab flavor. Just ocean. These are the most disgusting Crab snack I have ever tried. Do not buy these. I threw them in the trash.

DO NOT BUY!
Do not let anyone influence you to buy this! It smells like straight dank c00ch, also it has a weirdly sweet taste at first but then just taste like what it smells. Don’t waste your money on this!
