Ehhh, generally normal bugs are too small to reliably seperate the meat from the shell. Most people wouldn’t enjoy shrimp, crab, lobster, etc. If they ate it with the shell still on.
Yeah, it’s not the meat, to me. It’s the crunch. No thank you. Also, we rarely eat all parts of the shellfish. We typically remove or otherwise avoid the digestive tract, for example. Can’t do that when they are tiny, but the same volume of crickets has as much poop in it as the equivalent volume of shrimp.
