Crab is disgusting

r/

And I’m from Maryland too. I’ve tried crab in many different ways, and yet every way is equally gross. I don’t know how to explain the taste but it’s just awful to me.

    I’ve never had it as I don’t usually eat meat. What does it taste like?

    I can agree. Not really a fan of shellfish in general.

    Can’t stand the taste of crab and lobster. I’m a shrimp and clam man.

    Damn. No, it’s alright, this is an unpopular opinion sub, I can deal with it.

    If you don’t like it, don’t eat it. Simple. We don’t need to know your culinary preferences.

    Even as a huge seafood lover, I can understand where you’re coming from.

    I agree. I love all other shellfish, but hate the taste of crab meat exclusively. It also makes my stomach hurt after eating. Probably some kind of allergy and my body protecting itself. Win-win for me 😁

    A truly unpopular opinion especially in MD

    When I was kid we used to visit a place called Crab & Mallet. I remember the tables being those large cable reels with newspaper for table cloth. It was a messy fun time smashing crab all over.

    Good fresh crab is sweet tasting. I love eating the claws too. Have you tried a true Maryland crabcake? With a cold beer?

    I don’t like much in the way of shellfish. But I do like a good crab cake from time to time.

    All sea bugs are gross.

    I agree, all seafood is disgusting to me actually

    It seems there’s a sizable number of people with some kind of innate aversion to many shellfish. I have this also. No idea if it’s genetic since none of my immediate family has it, but I have always suffered it.

    I have a theory that whoever wrote the passage in the Old Testament proscribing their consumption had the same thing.

    Crab is delicious! Lobster is too sweet and a waste of money!

    I am trying to hard to force myself to like shellfish, I originally thought cilantro tasted like soap and forced myself to like it, and I just can’t do whole crab and lobster.

    Crab bisque? Fine, as long as you cover it up with enough butter and heavy cream, but just plain crab is a weirdly sweet fishy meat.

    You ever had a Louisiana style crab boil? Aint no way you dont like that.

    So is lobster and shrimp

    It’s like rubbery meat with a queef aftertaste.

    This isn’t unpopular, this is just a personal opinion. I hate bacon, not really an unpopular opinion, just a personal preference. Now, someone saying “i still like Kanye, even with all the Nazi stuff he says”, that is an unpopular opinion.

    Why would you have to explain the taste? Do you think you discovered eating crab?

  35. JiveAs Avatar

    I like crab, but I don’t like crabcakes. I prefer to eat hunks of meat and if I can get them, soft shell.

    I love crab but I’m done with cracking open shells tbh.

    Even Cajun? Cajun crab is amazing. Especially the way the Viets so it in CA.

    If you’re talking about eating whole crabs, then yes agree completely. That’s so fucking disgusting. At one point there like green gut/goo and you’re expected to keep eating after seeing that. Horrid. However, if you just buy the canned lump crabmeat and make crab cakes…it’s great.

    Totally disagree. One of my best ever meals was in Maryland back in 1991. A table covered in brown paper and piles of peppery crab 😀
