What is your favorite seafood?

[Thynight]

If you have one.

[Pianist]

Salmon... pretty much fish... not a fan of shellfish at all, and yes, I've tried.

[HunterM]

Mmmm...yum...

[JockBoy87]

It's a tug between fish and calamari, or anything with Old Bay on it.

Despite being born and raised in Maryland, I do not like crab...

[CupidBoy]

I don't like seafood aside from tuna and salmon.

So I guess tuna and salmon. ._.

[borg69unimatrix]

The only sea food I'm willing to eat (occasionally) is Tuna, shrimp, calamari, and imitation crab.

[Swellegant]

I voted "fish" because it catches the most things I love, particularly salmon, tilapia, white tuna, red snapper, trout, catfish, cod... the list goes on and on, the entire superclass osteichthyes (bony fish) is cordially invited to my plate. Chondrichthyes, though, not so much (shark, ray, etc). In general, I like most seafood, though I can live without calamari and am not wild about abalone. And I can't stand cooked oysters (love them raw, though). Sadly, I cannot eat lobster, crab, or crayfish (not on your list), though they taste divine: segmented crustaceans give me explosive diarrhea.

[alister]

I picked fish but its really tied for all of them except octopus and oysters. Fish is the easiest one to get prepared right. I do love good calamari, but if its not so fresh or prepared badly its rubbery and not so good tasting.

Fried calamari have to be cooked really hot and fast, like no more than 2 minutes on the hottest temperature you can safely heat the oil to, and they won't cook well if there are too many of them in the pan.

How dare you. Maryland blue crabs are the best!

And Old Bay sucks. Barf

[animalius]

Without a doubt, lobster!

Okay, if you barf at Old Bay, you have no right to express consternation at my dare to not like Maryland crabs.

[EuroSoccer]

Lobsters........

[refujiunderground]

shrimp BUT i love that crab and lobster meat though. not from maryland but crab cakes are the shit. thanks to the tv show the wire for putting me on to that.

[Adrock-JD]

Wild salmon, fried clams/flounder, shrimp, lobster, sea scallops.

[eastofeden]

Scallops

[-Callum-]

Shrimp, because it goes with anything...pastas, salads, rice...hot, cold, always good.

[crimsonpaine]

Fish filet from McDonald's or Mrs. Paul.



Yeah, but seriously.

[GregKII]

That's hard.. I eat all of it--excluding octopus, and that's only because I've yet to try it--so All of them?

[JP.]

Sake and Maguro

[CupidBoy]

Actually, the only exception to tuna and salmon is this:



Spicy squid jerky, or 'Ojingeochae Bokkeum' (오징어채볶음), it's delicious to eat with steamed rice. Grew up with this around, Korean thing.

[JockBoy87]

^^^ Looks yummy Is it tough to eat like jerky?

[CupidBoy]

There are different kinds, some are tough. The one that I put is a bit chewy. I like this kind the best.

Thanks for the dinner inspiration. I just so happen to be defrosting some squid. I think I will try it. Now to find a good recipe.

[star-warrior]

Fish.

Fresh herring, cleaned, on the bone, cured for a couple of days with a liberal sprinkling of salt. Washed off excess salt, place on a dish, sprinkle with julienned ginger, drizzled with oil, and steamed for 10-12 minutes.

You can buy it premade, if you are near a Korean market.

They come packaged in a plastic container and cost around $4 usually.



^ looks like that.

I will look the next time I am in Catonsville which is on the opposite side of town :\

But I do have lots of time today... I'm sure I can do it in the oven.

Good luck, my family has never made it.

Wait....I think we've talked abut this before a while back in Last Post.

What does Old Bay taste like?

[JockBoy87]

What does Old Bay taste like?

Like manna from Heaven

You just have to try it. Since it is a blend, there is no one spice it tastes like, but it is salty and slightly hot in large quantities.

Is it just for seafood or is it for other things as well? Anyways I'll look for it next time I go shop.

[BENDERBOY]

Haddock or Cod fried in batter.

Mussels, buckies and prawns.

[bort138]

Old Bay on lobster is amazing

[SamsDad]

The sailors in Long Beach and San Diego used to pretty appetizing in the old days. Nowadays I have to settle for the sailors at Everett when the Stennis comes back to port.

[JockBoy87]

Seafood, but it is also good on cheese steaks, fries, and some people say popcorn.

A classic Maryland dinner is a brown paper bag full of steamed crabs drowned in Old Bay, but it is too expensive nowadays for most people to do that regularly. The Chesapeake Bay is pretty depleted of seafood

Herring is actually far more delicious, even in canned form. Don't underestimate herring here...yum

[mbamike]

I enjoy most kinds of fried fish.

Well... it stinks to high Heaven

[vacancy3]

red lobster scampi garlic toast and salad....heaven

[Saybrooke]

Shrimp <3 <3

[seven2go]

Lobster.......hands down.
ONCE a year I splurge and buy enough lobster to fill me up.
If I can't have enough to fill me up I don't want any........a lobster "appetizer" is just too cruel.......

[JockBoy87]

^^^

The first time I had lobster was two years ago and the butter sauce was so salty I hated it. Haven't had another one since.

Yes! I love this. I only tried it for the first time just a few weeks ago. I've never had it with rice, I usually just eat it alone.

I also eat another form of dried squid(roasted?). It's very chewy, but has so much taste to it.



^Looks kinda like that.

[Axxess]

Tuna, and according to the back of this Gorton's Fisherman container, Alaska Pollock.

Never had lobster before. What's it like?

[earlgrey]

Lobster, crab, scallops, squid, calamari, I love it all. The only down side to crab is it takes so much work to get so little meat out.

Don't really like oysters though. I'll eat abalone if it's served in a meal, but don't love it.

[frankfrank]

Fish was easy to check off, because I would have said the same thing if "sea" was removed - i.e. "What is your favorite food?"

[freefall]

Shellfish down right. Especially plain raw oysters

Then, jellyfish


Last...fish and squids. Especially in sashimi form

Maybe I can just be a pesceterian

[youfiad]

Where's the option for "In the garbage, because that's where seafood belongs."
