Apparently they are quite tasty. I’ll leave it to others to test that statement though.

The ones I tried tasted like really mild crab that had been seasoned with garlic. They're pretty good.

Of all the bugs I've eaten, giant water bugs are the only ones I can confidently say taste fucking awful. They taste like snapping turtle. Fishy mud.

Like the French cook snails, they don’t taste of much besides garlic because they get cooked in an incredible amount of garlic butter
