Seafood poll.

[Mary Terry]

I just can't do raw oysters. The texture makes it impossible for me. I bit a raw oyster in half once, too. It was immediate "Nope."

I'm otherwise all about seafood. Scallops and Gator can be added to the list, even. Love me some cajun food, so add crawdads, as well (crayfish to some).

We call 'em "mudbugs".

 

[Gerald Wilgus]

All seafood, shellfish and freshwater fish except for Sushi and Oysters.
Had grilled fish street tacos for lunch today. A nearby restaurant serves them on two for Tuesdays, so I eat them most every week.
Mahi and Orange Roughy are two favorites that are hard to find even here in Florida.

Yes, we have conch fritters, crayfish, and gator bites too. All good.

A treat from Florida that I enjoy is Cedar Key Littleneck Clams. When I was down near Crystal River I would eat at Cajun Jimmy's Seafood Seller and Cafe. I'd devour a whole mess of clams and have Jambalaya as a side.

If my only meat going forward were shellfish, invertebrates, and sushi/sashimi, I would be happy...but I would love to add fish and chips to that.

What Is a Pescatarian and What Do They Eat?

I love seafood! Since my family is from Taiwan, I grew up eating a lot fish and other seafood. I grew used to seeing fish served with the head attached due to cultural customs and I even liked calamari as a kid. I’m even a bit of an expert when it comes to cooking fish that I can tell if a piece of fish is overcooked by examining its color. The fish they serve the residents in the nursing home I work in keeps cooking it in the oven and leaving it in there too long that it becomes too brown and dry and rubbery in the middle. It’s a white fish which is better steamed or pan fried. I keep telling them that the fish is always overcooked and that the nurses have told me themselves that the residents don’t like it and refuse to eat the fish but they won’t believe me. A coworker even tried a small piece once and agreed with me that it was overcooked.

I love seafood, too, and am quite used to cooking and eating whole fish with the head on. The trick to getting the fish cooked through to the bone, without overcooking it, is to cut several deep slices along the fish on both sides. The heat and seasonings can penetrate the fish flesh if you do that.

The "fish" served in nursing homes is usually tilapia, which is one fish I refuse to eat. Ugh.

I live within a one-half hour's drive from the ocean - with selections of seafood eateries.

Salmon, shrimp, and clams (with chips) are favorites.

 

[Lemon Zing]

Yes. I enjoy fatty fish like salmon or trout, which has a similar taste. I tend to buy fresh fillets. Not keen on the tinned variety. Tuna in spring water is fine. But I think processed tuna has more mercury, and added salt.

Skipjack tuna has the least amount of mercury. Other types such as yellow fin and albacore contain more mercury. I prefer wild caught instead of farmed fish. Anchovies and sardines have lower amounts of mercury and other heavy metals than the larger fish.

Despite living in a coastal state in New England, I do not like seafood. I have major sensory issues with food and seafood is a nightmare to me. lol

Yessssss. I have had gator and conch before. When I was staying near Crystal River, I would frequent Cajun Jimmy's Seafood Seller and Cafe. There I would have their plate of at least 50 Cedar Key Littleneck Clams.

I dislike the taste of American farmed Tilapia. When traveling in Sulawesi, Indonesia, I've had Tilapia which tasted much better. There they fed the Tilapia fruit.

Talapia is a bottom feeder trash fish. It always stinks like sewage to me, even the moment when it is first pulled from the water. Maybe I'm prejudiced because I know it is used to clean up wastewater and sewage lagoons and that thought always goes through my mind.

Which is why I was surprised to learn that the fish I was eating in Sulawesi was fruit-fed Tilapia. There were far more disturbing foods at the local wet market.
