    yes but there’s a distinction with lobsters, crabs and crawfish that shrimp do not posses:

    THEY TASTE GOOD.

    Shrimp taste like rubbery turds. there’s a reason the cocktail comes with a bucket of ketchup garbage.

      They taste fine to me. Are you sure you had them prepared by a competent chef? Sure they can taste awful, but they don’t have to.

      Shrimp taste very similar to crawfish to me. I can’t really tell the difference. I like both, though.

        shrimp kinda taste like dirt to me, but i like crab.
        However I did learn that my throat feeling like it was closing up after eating seafood ISNT normal and went to the doctor and now I’m not allowed to eat crab anymore :(

        crawfish have a flavor to them and aren’t as rubbery. closer to scallops to my tastebuds.

        shrimp taste like canned assholes even when they’re fresh.

        YMMV, that’s why it’s called taste.
