Favorite Seafood

[Thump]

Oh my gosh, can't believe this one slipped my mind, Pink Snapper.

Preferrably the young, aggressive Pink Snapper.

It's all good to great, but scallops probably takes first prize for me.

Seafood that is "fishy" makes me ill...

On that note I can eat crab cakes, clam chowder, and a filet-o-fish

Nothing like getting a bushel of fresh Chesapeake crabs, covering the picnic table with newspaper, and fighting off the cats to make for a great afternoon. Though I've traveled two hours for the right crab cake... yum yum yum!

Well, I've decided what my weekend treat will be! :)

Used to vacation on an island off the coast of Maine every summer. Enormous lobsters - two pounders - for about five bucks apiece. We would have them boiled for dinner, and save a couple for newburg for the next morning's brunch. The farmer's market featured the most amazing crab salad sandwiches...man. Literally makes me salivate thinking about it. Anyway, my answer to the question is lobster, but honestly, I will eat anything. Squid, octopus, oysters, eel...anything.

...oh, and people with an aversion to seafood make me angry.

Anyway, like I was sayin', shrimp is the fruit of the sea. You can barbecue it, boil it, broil it, bake it, saute it. Dey's uh, shrimp-kabobs, shrimp creole, shrimp gumbo. Pan fried, deep fried, stir-fried. There's pineapple shrimp, lemon shrimp, coconut shrimp, pepper shrimp, shrimp soup, shrimp stew, shrimp salad, shrimp and potatoes, shrimp burger, shrimp sandwich. That- that's about it.

Last night i took my wife out for her birthday to Youngstown Crab Co, we got the crab sampler, which brings the question; what is your favorite seafood?

My favorite Alaskan King Crab legs, the ones that were in the sampler last night were each nearly 1lb, it was damn good stuff

bingo. the Alaskan Snow Crabs are also excellent.


Shrimp, lobster, and salmon are also very good, though I mostly eat shrimp and crab out of all of them.

I went out to this nice Italian restaurant, Magiano's, and tried fried calamari for the first time. It was incredible. I can't eat a lot of it because it makes me sick, eating too much of it, but it was really good. Popcorn shrimp is another one of my favorites, as well.

Fresh fish, with a few exceptions, should never be "fishy". If it smells, don't buy it. [no smiley]

</TD></TR><TR><TD width=260 bgColor=#99cccc height=71>There are four commercially available varieties of the kingklip; red, golden, black, and south. All four varieties are similarly shaped, and on the outside differ mainly in the color of their skin. The name of the variety, in most cases, indicates the overall hue of the fish. Buyers should be aware that the more expensive red and golden varieties can be substituted with the cheaper black variety. Black kingklip meat is lighter, larger, and firmer than the meat of its more expensive cousins.</TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE><TABLE height=130 cellSpacing=1 cellPadding=2 width=520 border=0><TBODY><TR><TD width="50%" bgColor=#669999 height=28>

[LoKyBuckeye]

not a big fan of sea food but I do like fried clam strips.

 

[NJ-Buckeye]

Alaskan King Crab (insatiable)
All other crab... excluding Maryland style crabs
Chilean Sea Bass
Talipi
Halibut
and it goes on an on...

Can't do the ones that are 'squishy'.. squid/calamari, clams, etc... unless fried...
[LoKy, we don't really like this stuff... we just like the fried versions.. because we like everything bad for us]..
and crawfish are way too much work

somehow I really like eel in sushi... but couldn't imagine buying and cooking it myself
