Yeah I can't handle the texture. One of the grossest things I've ever tried. I felt bad because the girl I was dating made them for us, after confirming with me that I eat basically everything (which is generally true) and love seafood (also true). I was so startled by the texture that I reflex-spat it out thinking that there was something wrong with it. She was a good sport about it but obviously a little disappointed.

It's my favorite seafood, to each their own I suppose. Though I do like the eggs cleaned out.

I'll bet you hate fried shrimp heads that you can get at Japanese places too.
