While it is inaccurate to characterize crustaceans as bugs, they are arthropods and share an enormous amount of anatomical and psychological features with insects. Both have open circulatory systems and use hemolymph to hydraulically operate their limbs. That "meat" that you're talking about is only really visible after cooking, and consists mostly of denatured and congealed hemolymph.
