What's your favorite seafood?

Fried clams

Shrimp Scampi

High quality wild salmon cooked medium rare with something good on it (rub, sauce, etc)

Fried shrimp.

steamed mussels with white wine

I’m on a seafood diet. I see food, I eat food.

Sashimi, especially fatty salmon

Bearded clams

"Gambas al ajillo". How the spanish do their shrimp, in a garlic wine sauce with tons of paprika

Steamers

Cod and prunes

R10 Damn, you have my mouth watering now.

Japanese unagi is pretty delicious if you can get over the whole eel thing.

Favorite is a big reach.

I had a friend who lived in Japan who described eating uni, or sea urchin sushi, as having a ball of fetid garbage explode in your mouth

I can't stand the smell.

Black cod

I've always loved crab, and as a PNWer, I adore Dungeness crab. Scallops and mussels are both worthy contenders, too.

Shrimp and clams.

Baked stuff haddock, fried calamari, broiled scallops, steamed mussels or a hearty clam chowder.

seared scallops

Salt & pepper squid.

mahi mahi

Peruvian ceviche

Crab.

Haddock with chips, mushy peas and shitloads of salt and vinegar.

I love it All!! Carribearn lobster, shrimps, scallops, any fish that doesn't taste like fish works for me!!!! Yummy

Alaskan king crab with fresh lemon slices and just a tiny amount of drawn butter.. I love snow crab but it's a lot of work trying to get to the meat. Other faves - mahi-mahi and clams casino.

BBQ baby octopus.

Clams. Scallops poached in milk. Sushi, tuna, shiro, salmon.

Scalloped oysters, seafood chowder at The Maine Diner, some lobster rolls (either cold with light mayonnaise and minced celery or warm with drawn butter , each on toasted split roll), sometimes Fried Oysters or Whole Belly Clams but that’s a once-per-year thing.

This older version of myself will more often have grilled salmon or salmon piccata, and some types of mild white fish grilled or poached with a lighter, refined sauce like citrus beurre blanc.

I never liked lobster in the rough because it feels too much like eating a giant insect. But lobster meat in a pie or casserole is delicious. If you want to dine “old school”, a Newburg sauce over lobster and scallops is a pretty wicked indulgence (maybe for New Year’s Eve). Sherry goes great with shellfish.

Shrimp, scampi, gambas, camarones, prawns if you must...

I prefer a seafood buffet.

Shefood…..am I right leshiansh!

Oysters

Everything except for oysters.

It's all from SE Asia, stop eating seafood you stupid twits.

Snow crab legs -- I could eat them 24/7! And even though I have a very successful method of rapid and easy cracking, I figure the cracking alone burns off at least a few of the calories I get from eating them drowning in butter.

Once, in the days of (relatively) cheap AYCE crab places, I, my mother, and my two younger sisters sat down to eat and filled [bold]seven[/bold] of those huge stainless steel bowls with their shells before we called it quits. Now, [bold]that's[/bold] some fressen!

We PA Dutch folks take our eating very seriously. But sadly, I can't eat like that anymore. Glad I did it when I was young!

Striped bass, caught surf casting and delicious but now sadly contaminated with PCBs.

R14 Sounds like performing oral on Marjorie Taylor Greene.

Hold tight, OP.

Fried clams.

Steamed Maine lobster (in moderation).

Salmon is my favorite. Love shrimp and oysters and crab. Hate Lobster. It's like eating a cockroach.

I love Italian stuffed squid.

Who doesn't like tuna?

Cod and flounder too.

I pick up a jar of Ma Cohen's creamed herring now and then, but the last one I got was gross. I think they just stirred sour cream into some of their herring in wine sauce and it did not work for me.

R46 Cream herring is such a hard sell to most people. I love it, but I feel like a circus seal when I eat it.

I love surf n turf, scampis and filet mignon

Smoked oysters 🦪.

Canned mackerel!

Oysters.

But I love fish of all types and good old fashioned fried shrimp

A good bouillabaisse or cioppino. There's nothing more delicious in the world.

I haven’t eaten good crabs since before the pandemic.

A good old fashioned Friday-during-Lent fish fry at any Catholic church in south St. Louis.

Good eatin'.

I love almost every seafood except sea urchin/uni and other things with that texture, but my absolute favorite is king crab.

R54 What kind of fish is it?

R49 Do you buy at the supermarket and then you put them on a cracker or something? I've always wondered.

[quote]I pick up a jar of Ma Cohen's creamed herring

You EAT circus performers?

Swordfish, salmon, any dish of creamed shrimp.

lump crab meat

The best seafood dish I've ever had was char-crusted blue marlin in a restaurant in Creve Coeur. But in general lobster would be my favorite, followed by langostinos, scallops, and Chilean sea bass.

[quote] I had a friend who lived in Japan who described eating uni, or sea urchin sushi, as having a ball of fetid garbage explode in your mouth

I actually find uni delicious if it's fresh. But I wouldn't want it away from a coast where it can be caught. The drop-off in quality as you go further inland is much greater than for fish and shellfish.

Raw Oysters (Chicoteague or Hog's Island types are my favorites). Seared scallops, and any white fleshy fish - black cod or Chilean sea bass.

I avoid all the sea bugs - shrimp, crab, lobster - no thanks.

Shrimp Scampi

Scallops sautéed in a butter and sage

My Mom's filet of sole...God, I wish I could cook it as she did.

Linguini and clam sauce

Sautéed trout

I like nearly all seafood I've tried. I almost always order a seafood dish when I go to a restaurant, I can cook a steak or filet nearly as good as any restaurant, but I don't cook fish very often at home.

Flounder, skate, rockfish…

Crab legs…

Steamed or fried shrimp with a good peppery cocktail sauce…

Fried oyster poboys minus the mayo, with lettuce, tomato, cocktail sauce and ketchup.

Ah yes, skate is delicious but very hard to find, even in a West coast city where most seafood is readily available.

I like crab better than lobster, but I’m probably the only one in the world.

R65 - YES - skate is delicious but surprisingly very rare. I just had some last weekend and it was amazing.

But I can count on one hand how often I've seen skate offered on a menu. And I'm not young.

Maryland Blue Crabs caught from the pier with chicken necks on a string. Steamed with beer and Old Bay Seasoning and dipped in butter.

Lobsta with lots butta.

Lotsa butta.

My own pushee in a lemon and parkay shaush.

Bearded oysters

Mud crabs and live prawns.

Shrimp and prawns.

I go to Red Lobster and get the chicken.

Cod. Prepared nearly any way.

Sole meuniere.

all of them. doesn't matter, sardines to scallops and oysters, i love it all

The best I think I ever had was the chargrilled oysters at Felix's in New Orleans. Dear lord what deliciousness.
