And if so what have you tried?
What’s the most unusual seafood you have had?
As it seems loads of things have been eaten by people that come from the sea.
What can’t you stand?
I find it strange how I like scampi, but am not really a fan of languistines. Technically the same thing

"Cockles, Mussels and Welks urh they are just balls of snot.
Love prawns and scampi, prawn voluvants and cocktails. Yummy"
Can’t stand cockles, mussels or whelks either and they seem to dish them out at the seaside  |

" Mussels steamed open... Yummy x"
Some people swear by them and it’s quite a delicacy in restaurants, but I just can’t warm to them. The taste just turns my stomach. |

"I'll, pretty much, eat anything that comes out of the ocean.
My all time favourites are:
Sea urchin
Eel
Abalone
Fugu"
I’ve tried eel, but really am not a fan. Wouldn’t mind trying the others. |

I wouldn’t consider myself to have had anything unusual. I like pretty much all fish, prawns, crayfish tails, mussels, calamari…..I’ve not gone to the realms for fugu yet. |

Stewed eels in liquor at a pie and mash shop are lovely! Not so keen on jellied eels though |

"I love seafood. The most unusual item I had is a dish just made out of Whale skin.
Bloody hell, how big was the plate?  "
Ha ha. It's just a part of the skin. But it was fried I think with some nice added sauce. Tasted weird but good. You can find lots of weird seafood around the Arctic. |

Favourite food is sushi and love all seafood . Uni ( sea urchin ) is weirdest thing I’ve tried . If I ever make it to Japan fugu will be next on the weird menu  |

I like most, except for crab and oysters. I'm a big wuss, so I can't rip the heads off prawns, but once peeled I love them.
My favourites are fresh razor clams and squid, but I also have a soft spot for jars of octopus in oil. |

"Yes I’ve tried everything. I wouldn’t recommend the sea slug mind 
My inner labia look like sea slugs having a wrestling match."
I've seen some very pretty and colourful sea slugs - I'll assume it's like those |

LOVE seafood, I even had some seafood crudités like prawns and salmon and tuna and I LOVE raw seafood (but only in nice restaurant where you can trust them)
Love octopus salad, clams are my fave!! And squid too. Same as crab.
Literally!!
The only one I don’t get on is oysters. Those are Yuck |

I also love seafood, but not all seafood.
Crab, Lobster, Mussels, Cockles, shrimps, prawns, Langoustine............i love them all. I absolutely hate Whelks and Winkles. I think i hate them because i was sort of forced to eat them when i was very young. I also hate Jellied eels for much the same reason...........although i did try them again recently..........they were still shit  |

On a more putrid note.
Has anyone ever tried surströmming?
It's lightly salted Baltic Sea herring and popular in Sweden.
It's gross and smells as if something has died and been allowed to decompose in the tin / jar.
If you want to exact revenge on someone simply send them a tin of Oskar's Surströmming. They'll be vomiting all over their kitchen if they open it and the stink lingers. |

Don’t eat bottom feeders. If its from the sea and has no scales, Chuck it.
Lobster - sea scorpion
Crab - sea spider
Prawn - sea maggot
It arthropod shite. |

Had catfish in BB Kings Club on Beale Street, Memphis. Nice but you could taste the muddy Mississipi.
Tuna Steak in Milton Keynes that was bloody hard work, took 2 glasses of lemonade, no saliva left.
Had Sushi dishes and roll mops.
My fave at the moment is grilled/barbacued mackeral.

They used to call me fish face as I ate fish a lot. I worked for Rick Stein for several months and being in a fish restaurant does dent the appeal.
Staff tea was usually hake something so I can’t eat it now.
But I love
Fresh Sardines
Fresh Mackerel
Halibut
Haddock
Oysters
Mussels sometimes
Not so keen on cod roe! Octopus is nice but they’re intelligent creatures. Loathe any form of catfish. Rubbery. |

Most excluding cod spent two much time in Grimsby where you learn alot about fish and why they sell haddock in the local chip shops and ship cod off around the country |

Working at a fish monger and picking worms out of Shetland cod fillets is not enjoyable.
Inherited the haddock preference from my dad. |

"In Italy had an octopus out the sea on my plate after 6 or 7 minutes on a bbq frantic with white wine...
Ink when on the pasta.. "
I thought you had to boil octopus for 45 minutes otherwise its tough as boots? |

Not a fan of anything out of a shell, exception being scallops, had most of it pushed at me as a kid just memories of vinegary chewy grit
Like prawns, if hot.
Lobster but the lazy kind, can’t be doing (or is it can’t) open the claws;
Crab but not overly dressed keep it simple;
Squid if cooked right so not like rubber. I couldn’t get on with octopus or past the sight of the suckers;
Eel cooked the Japanese way, not the east end delicacy; |

You do need to pre-cook it if you're intending to barbecue or grill.
Roast, bake, poach or simmer at around 15 -20 minutes per pound weight. |

The Spanish tenderise octopus by flipping it in and out of boiling water several times. But just freezing it works. |

Had a tray of assorted seafood in Greece incl Sea urchin, clams. Most were still alive when swallowed. I had a monster erection for hours, it is not a fallacy. Had fresh shark in Ascension, Moreton bay bugs in Australia. They looked like huge wood lice but tasted great. Soft shell crabs eaten whole in China, yummy. Smoked eal in Germany, lovely. Rollmop herring and black bread in Holland and Denmark, served with a type of schnapps...yuk, disgusting. and I like raw fish. |
