Do you like seafood?if so what do you like?
Not many people i know like it. I enjoy some of it like cockles,king prawns and ocean sticks.

shareHell yes. Born and raised on the New England coast. Haddock and cod are king here. Lobster is overrated in my opinion. I would rather have some Jonah Crab.
shareLobster belongs to the same family as cockroach, so, gag, no. Scrod, a New England staple (and not the pluperfect subjunctive of "to screw") is defined as EITHER baby Haddock or Cod. You've been Scrod either way.
For crustaceans, for me, no fucking cockroaches, but soft shell crab, crabs' legs with salt butter.
With the exception of Lobster Savanna, with is replete with cheesy delights, and, ideally, baked Idaho potatoes and a full-on New England clambbake (including clam chowder, fish chowder, oyster stew, sausages and corn on the cob), crab is the only crustacean way to go.
My seafood taste is odd and picky. I like raw tuna, but cooked tuna only in sandwiches. I love salmon, raw or cooked. I like shrimp/prawns if they're cleaned well, in pasta or grilled or barbecued. I love crab, but only in sushi. Sometimes I like squid and sometimes I don't. Not a huge lobster fan. Don't like oysters. The rest is just okay.
shareI like all sorts of seafood. Soused herring, sushi, shrimps, crayfish, crab, mussels, pretty much every kind of fish. I prefer not to eat lobster unless I'm sure they're not boiled alive.
shareI love virtually all seafood.
Sushi (but sashimi is too much raw), cioppino, bouillabaisse, oysters on the half shell, clam chowders, fish tacos, grilled fish steaks, and lots more.
If I had to pick one type, I'd say scallops. Well perhaps they'd tie with *real* crab meat, which used to be readily available and delicious, but over the past 20 years has disappeared. To be replaced with the ubiquitous faux crab, or insanely expensive and usually tasteless crab meat. I used to like crab more than lobster -- more flavourful. Now I don't care much for either one.
I also love salmon, shrimp, halibut, caviar, mussels (especially smoked!), tuna (fresh), sardines, anchovies. Basically all seafood, except for things such as blowfish, jellyfish, and similar. Not that I've tried them, but no thanks.
I've tried sushi several times. Not a big fan. It always feels like I'm eating bait!
Scallops are delicious.
Then for sure don't ever try sashimi. I love sushi, but sashimi really is like eating bait :/
Scallops are the bomb. Tender, slightly sweet, all-round yum.
Not a fan of calamari. Too rubberbandy.
Calamari has to be cooked properly (2 minutes/flash fried or simmered for 2 hours) or it is exactly as you describe -- rubber city.
shareI must not have had any properly cooked calamari. Oh wait, I have had calamari steak that looked like it'd been pounded to tenderize it, and then must have also been cooked properly. It was good.
shareTo the very best of my knowledge, sushi and sashimi (including chirashi sashimi) are absolutely identical in terms of the flesh involved. Raw is raw. The difference is that sushi is more gussied-up (vinegared rice, seaweed, fish roe, etc.) so it may taste less raw, but it's not. Please eat what you like, but I've eaten all the types of Japanese raw fish for decades and I'm healthy as a horse.
shareWhat kind of cavisr do you like, cat? The best-known, Beluga? Which is firm, black, tasty, famous, but very pricey, or Orsettra,'whuch is a bit lrese firm but more (nutterly) flavoral than
Sevruga, which is a bit softer but I think more flavorful and more congenial with companions, such as black bread toast points and cornichons.
I could eat crab legs until my stomach exploded, lol. I love them!
shareAny and all shell fish. That's about it.
shareNot long after I arrived on the island of Okinawa in 1969, I decided to tour downtown Naha, the capital city. I randomly entered a restaurant and had a seaweed salad for lunch. At the end of the meal, I discovered it had contained squid and I wasn't impressed with the flavor.
Fast forward to the 90s when I befriended a Vietnamese coworker who invited me over for dinner one night. This was an experience ! I accompanied him to the grocery store where he purchased a live, small octopus. I watched him cut it up and throw the still squirming pieces into the sizzling frying pan. It was a stir fry type of dish. Once again, I wasn't impressed with the flavor and the texture seemed tough, rubbery.
Recently though, I've developed a real fondness for sushi. And I once worked in a restaurant where one of my favorite meals included shark steak.
Sushi I'm not fond of, because raw fish doesn't appeal to me. I have eaten Mako Shark on a couple of occasions, and it had a rather rich flavor, a tad on the gamey side, but interesting.
shareWhat kind of shark? Mako is often passed off as swordfish. I want to eat Tiger, Bull and Great White! I want to devour a non-human species that would otherwise eat me. Grilled.
shareI love it. I love it all, baked fish, fried fish, fried shrimp, boiled shrimp, shrimp Alfredo, coconut shrimp, shrimp scampi, crap legs, crab cakes, clams, scallops, lobster. I love it all. Clams I can eat fried, I won't eat them raw.
Mmmmm, I'm a big fan.
