Do You Like Seafood?

Earthhorse

Most of the fish I have tried I have hated or barely tolerated. It is partly the texture, partly the taste, partly the million little bones.

I do like tuna and smoked salmon though.

Yum.. Couldn't agree more. I love fish!! Thinking about it is making me very hungry.
Would definitely give up meat before fish.

Dont like seafood at all, never did. haha I remember as a kid refusing to even eat fish fingers.

Lyra Fangs

Perrywinkles, prawns and battered cod, that's as much seafood as I can handle.

It wasn't me!

Read an article a while back on fly-fishing for bass. At the end, they took a decent bass, about six pounds, rolled into their local bar, ordered a rake of limes and beers and cut strips of the bass to eat raw with lime and beer. I reckon add some wasabi and that sounds pretty perfect.

im partial to the odd 1 n' 1

Love all types of seafood and would eat fish at least once a week.
Halibut & Monkfish are devine.

Lia_lia

Love seafood. Eat it (and/or fish) most days a week. Mussels om nom nom!

sheesh

mackeral fried fresh from the sea is fantastic!

stovelid

Was never mad about it but my wife loves it so we have it on the menu every now and then.

Kimia

Oh glorious fish. How can anyone not like these dishes for example:

Sea bass pan fried (so the skin is crispy) with lemon butter sauce
Roasted monkfish wrapped in parma ham
Seared salmon with a honey glaze
Prawns flash fried with garlic, chilli and coriander

YUUUMMMMMMM

Ordinarily I like my ignorance to be ill-informed, but when I saw your thread title, what could I do?

Even if you're well informed, and have a plan, it;s still sustainable crab claws FTW.

love salmon, cod, monkfish....anything really as long as it is heated!! dont ask!

Warper

Cod and chips from the chipper occassionally or else fish fingers. The rest taste like foetus. I do take my daily quota of cod liver oil tablets so that is enough fish for me. Oh and the odd bag of perriwinkles - gotta love eating snotty fish-snails - yummy.

Horse_box

Nothing better than going out, cathing a few mackerel and throwing them onto a bbq within a few mins. Fresh fish is fookin' delish man!

Just thought I'd add to the thread as it was beginning to Flounder

I voted Atari fish head before I realized it wasn't red meat. No wonder it's got only 4 votes...

MickShamrock

Love sushi.

whatdoicare

Love, love, love, all kinds of fish! When we were on holidays as a family I would beg for a Spanish Tapas dish called (I think) Pulpo. Basically Octopus chunks in an olive oil soup. I was addicted to it!

My other favourite is Tuna steak done on the grill! I could eat that all day!

Don't like how fish is cooked in Ireland, it's mangled and over sauced, like as if the chef feels he/she has to hide it to get people to eat it, in Spain they just grill fish and throw a bit of Lemon and olive oil on it and it's beautiful!

Ah, man, I'm hungry now.....

Dudess

Used to love all sea-food, now I'm more fussy. I'm gone off shellfish as it tastes pretty vile and is quite dodgy for the stomach, plus mackerel isn't nice - too strong. I still really like the rest though.

Black Swan

Like most seafood.

Aaaaah you just ruined my night

I love seafood though, fresh mackerel that you catch yourself, what could be better! Love shellfish too, moules-frites in the south of France, huuuge bowl of the nicest mussels you can buy served with chips, I was in heaven

Callan57

Love Fish ... with the exception of Smoked Salmon which I dislike intensly

Sea Bass now that is probably my all time favorite

fonecrusher1

Now listen here. If i was in a restaurant & had a seafood platter plonked down in front of me, there are certain things i couldn't eat.

- mussels (don't like em)
- oysters (fcuk off, tried to eat one last year. Tried)
- raw salmon (get your bags & baggage. Cooked? oh yes)

Everything else on the plate i'l eat. Crab, lobster, scollops - scrummy. Nice bit of battered or breaded fish, lovely. Any fish fried in real butter is going to taste nice. Then again if you fried your shoe in butter it would probably taste nice.

love sea food

I love seafood, particularly shellfish. However, it's amazing how many people here like salmon (particularly bearing in mind that the salmon you get in supermarkets/fishmongers is farmed). Having spent the last year studying marine biology and fisheries science, I would never eat farmed fish again, especially Tiger prawns and farmed salmon. The methods and feed used to grow these animals not only harm the environment but pose a serious risk to human health. I recall one incident in Waterford where a fisherman was fined by the SFPA (Sea Fisheries Protection Agency) for using farmed salmon as bait in lobster pots. The reason - the salmon was deemed to be too toxic (full of PCP's) and therefore might contaminate the lobsters!

I like most fish, but not keen on cod or salmon. I wont eat something that lives in a shell.

Mackerel, kippers, haddock,plaice, whiting,smoked coley would be my favourites.

Plus, farmed fish doesn't taste of anything.

AND fish farming actually consumes more fish than it produces.

Best fish to eat are small fish lower down the food ladder - mackerel, herring, sardines. Also forget cod, over rated and is currently being hunted to extinction (in fact, despite our best efforts, we WILL see the extinction of the Atlantic cod this century). Eat haddock, coalie or pollock - they are all taste the same anyway and you can be assured that when you order your 'cod' and chips in the chipper, you'll be getting one of those instead.

Oh and to those here that like tuna - enjoy your bio-accumulation of mercury and other heavy metals. Best tuna to eat would be line caught skipjack and nothing else.

Lust4Life

fried and battered fish is wonderful.
Lobster, crayfish, shrimp, no way.

I can't get past the smell. Ewww!

Patri

But sleeping with fish can give you crabs!

Oysters are the only type of fish I don't get. They're way to salty. Not for me.

Rabies

can't do shell fish, but I like lobster and crab.
Don't like calamari and squid, have tried it a few times.
Love salmon.

Id eat the odd fish finger and bag of scampi fries but I usually dont each such posh food.

Scampi fries are posh food. They look down on crisps & corn snacks like they are peasants.

Condescending scampi fcukers.:mad:

seafood is great but only for those with courage and a thirst for adventure.

I used to love seafood til i ate a batch of 'blown' crab claws at a restaurant in the West of Ireland some years ago.

Hosed out loose beef stew and rusty water for 3 days.

Hole burned off me.


Never since:mad:

I really dislike like the texture/consistency of what I've tried so far, and not thrilled about the taste either. The one time I tried prawns I had to spit it out, it reminded me of chewing worms or something.

I love all fish, and especially oysters.

But these have been spoiled for me by the fashion for farmed oysters, which are Pacific Oysters (the big oval ones with the very rocky-looking shell) rather than the native oysters (the little round ones with a smoother shell). If I eat the Pacific ones I get food poisoning - six hours afterwards I start vomiting and getting diarrhoea. Every time. And it's really hard to get the native oysters.

Fish is primarily what made us humans, according to some nutritional archaologists. Every single early human settlement ever discovered is by the sea or on an alluvial delta, and surrounded by middens filled with seashells from the fish that our ancestors ate. These provided the complex amino acids that formed the huge brain that's the cause of our success, and probably most of our trouble too.

Fish is still essential in our diets - look at this BBC piece about schoolchildren whose behaviour changed when fish oil was added to their diet:
