Hi. ok, Ill try to make it simple but I don't know the exact grammatical terms( sorry!) and I'm not sure i can explain, but ill try.
depending on their seasoning, it determines the taste of the crab?
I have several questions:
1. who is their? the cook or the crabs?
2. 'it' is not connected to anything .
3. 'depending' means something will change, but ' it determines' here is one thing.I know what you want to say but the sentence has sections that don't connect.
depending on the seasoning, the taste of the crab will change.

The seasoning determines the taste of the crab means what you use to season the crab will bring the crab flavor out and make it taste good. The taste of the crab determines the seasoning means that if the crab is known to taste sweat, sour (why??), strong fish smell or taste that person will use seasoning as to make it taste good according to the taste of the crab
