Shrimp tastes like dirt

r/

That is it really. I don’t care if it’s shrimp I’ve cleaned myself, from a restaurant, package meal, it tastes like dirt. I don’t understand what the appeal is with them. Who looked at the water bugs and thought, gee, might be edible! Most dishes that feature them include heavy sauces and coating for a reason! Everything about them is repulsive and you can’t convince me otherwise. If it was a land dwelling creature, you would all be with me on this.

    I’m allergic to shellfish so I don’t know what shrimp tastes like. I can eat regular fish though, I always assumed it tasted like “crunchy salmon” or something.

    I can eat certain kinds of imitation crab meat (some types still use shellfish ingredients so I can’t eat them), although I heard it isn’t actually a very good imitation of what shellfish tastes like.

    by cleaned yourself, do you mean deshelled or deshelled and deveined? cause you might be eating that whole shitsack otherwise hence the dirt

    Hey just double checking, when you say “cleaned myself” you’re referring to fully de-veining them right?

    I have 0 idea why you would think they taste like dirt. They are so not earthy flavored.

     I ate a bit of dirt in the little league field a couple of times and I’ll have to disagree. Correctly prepared shrimp are noticeably better.

    I want to know where you get your dirt. I’d sprinkle it on everything.

    Yeah for real, I disagree but that’s purely because you are incorrect. Anyone who’s eaten shrimp knows they do not taste like dirt.
    So I think you’ve just found a controversial idea that’s bs and marketed it as an ‘unpopular opinion’.

    Your full of it pal. Hope everyone else realises what you’re trying to do here.

    Shrimp are delicious — the cockroaches of the sea.

    For a real treat, get some fried crawdads and dip them in warm butter sauce.
