I first ran into these in San Fransisco and they were in a candy store... I bought them to torture my friends, and after trying a few when I got home, I wished I could find more. I found your blog post, while searching for a source on the internet to buy them... Two things to say, one - they are best if you crunch them quickly, so that the seasoning gets mixed in with the shell and insides (they really don't have much more than a fishy flavor inside) and two - 100% agreement on Natto... I love asian foods, but can't keep those sticky buggers down...

I must tell you, though, that these are NOT hermit crabs. Hermit crabs have a soft, squiggly, swirly butt (talk about scary) and they protect this unshelled rear-end into borrowed snail-shells. These candied snacks are simply whole crabs, in their whole shells. This will horrify you, but i find them delicious. However, RESPECT! We are all entitled to like what we like. I also like Cool-Whip tacos, so, go figure. V Dear Rachel -

Oh, yark. Polite or no, I couldn't even try it. But it sounds like you got the full culinary experience while you were there! Good for you! Which food do you miss the most and do you miss it enough to make it at home? @PJVT, whale meat? Oh, yark. Polite or no, I couldn’t even try it.

Most Japanese food is absolutely fabulous and I am salivating just thinking about grilled fresh hotate, sashimi with fresh wasabe, lamb at the yakitori bar and okonomiyaki. Apart from the babies that you mention here, the only thing that I found a bit gruesome was whalemeat, which I nibbled at to avoid insulting my host. Overall though, the food is so good as to knock your socks off! Oishi! I just came back from three weeks in Japan and you are correct – those are absolutely disgusting!

The natto, meh, maybe that'll change when I find a good brand, but these crab snacks give me chest pains, literally. I physically cannot eat them and they smell gross.
