Land bugs mostly have pretty blend or bad taste, regardless of their looks anyway. In Asia they often add spices to make them taste something.

It's a bit like snails too, it's not that tasty itself, the only reason it's good is because it tastes like the butter and garlic we put in.

And for both it's mostly the texture that's off putting. Some people can grow used to the texture though.

I can see it, I grew up fishing for both too and shrimp are so easy and casual to twist and shuck off the shell and chow down, while crabs are all armored up and feel a lot more like eating an alien being.

A tasty alien being, though.

No land bugs for me either, they're just full of goo inside. I like my animals full of meat, personally.
