For a long time; crab, lobster, crayfish were seen by the upper class as bugs of the sea and were very inexpensive. It’s only relatively recently did they become hella expensive. My 8th birthday party, I remember getting a pound of snow crab legs (including sides) for $6.99 at a nice seafood restaurant. I was born in the 90s, so it wasn’t that long ago!
Comment on PSA: Don't eat cicadas if you're allergic to shellfish... or at all

Til: insects and shellfish are basically the same thing.

Not just shellfish! They’re all part of the arthropod family! So that would also include lobsters and crabs!

Supposedly pill bugs taste similar, and are of the same family.

They are not. Bugs taste like bugs.
