Is there any argument to be made that edible crustaceans aren’t bugs that doesn’t boil down to ‘ew gross’? I simply don’t see how this is a stretch in any way.
Absolutely. ‘Bug’ refers to insects (and, more colloquially, some other small invertebrates such as spiders and centipedes). Crustaceans are not insects.
You’re really stretching here.

Crustaceans are as closely related to insects as spiders and centipedes are. You’re splitting antennae here.
