Crunchy.  Salty.  tastes like…part of a softshell crab, or better yet, some small fried shrimp.  Yup, that’s how I would explain the taste of some fried scorpions.  While I haven’t graduated on the larger versions that they offer, I did eat the 4 scorpions on this stick and I gotta say, they weren’t bad.  I’d eat them again.  I washed it down with a snake meat chuan’r.  I also was able to try part of a fried gecko (or something similar) and a piece of seahorse.  All of it is just…fried.  Maybe I’ll get up the courage to try one of the large scorpions someday…
