Like lobster or giant shrimp. I stopped eating crab and lobster because of the way they kill them. Very inhumane by putting them in boiling water alive. They do feel that until they die. So if that is the way they cook the bugs I would not eat them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, they do not have vocal cords so the noise that many hear could be some kind of air that is escaping from their abdomen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course there might be a better reason not to eat them- bottom feeders tend to pick up heavy toxic metals in their systems. Now I have consumed my fair share of Maine lobster, clams, mussel, and periwinkle too. But do not have an appetite for any of it nowadays for the perception of the pollution they ingest. Decades ago we would gather clams and put them in a bushel basket of corn meal for a day to clean them out- kind of a last meal, I guess. Sorry for the silly pun, just couldn't help myself.
