I don't get it and I'm from a fishing family

Well the latter have more "meat" on them, whereas bugs are mostly just "shells" once they die. You aren't eating the shells of crustaceans, you're eating the innards

You got a point, but the kind of bugs eaten in some parts of the world are usually the fatty kind .

See, at a glance, that thing looks disgusting. I have an instinctive revulsion to the thought of eating it.

I guess some people would say the same for whole live shrimp though, and I grew up fishing them out of the sea and boiling them up in a pot.

Uncooked sea bugs looks unappetising as well

So I guess the same would apply to the uncooked land bugs. They will look better cooked.
