@pmarin Crabbing in Oregon has been great this year I guess. A couple of buddies went crabbing off the docks in Newport and had no trouble limiting. Got a bunch of red crabs too. I guess the dungeness were really meaty and flavorful. They caught one that was bigger than the outer edge of the size gauge.
Oysters.
Likely to be a controversial topic. So many different kinds and ways to serve. Real test is to shuck it yourself fresh (be careful — but they make Kevlar gloves and stuff for that) and then eat it fresh. Once I was traveling on Olympic Peninsula in WA and in addition to
buying a bunch of oysters, you could buy a whole horseradish root you could grate fresh. Way better than the jarred pickled horseradish.
Now maybe not up for so much adventure but will gladly have pan-fried oysters at a restaurant I trust for it.
@Kyeh@pmarin I am not much of a chocolate fan. It has to have something else with it, such as chocolate covered caramel.
Despite that, oysters are slimy and salty, just like snot.
I used to love eating Raw Oysters… Now, Not so much, filter of the water… Mercury, Hepatitis, eek… You can cook some of the stuff to make it safe, but pretty sure that doesn’t apply to Mercury. South Texas, Shrimp swimming in the morning can be on your table later. Let’s don’t talk about the High Cholesterol. MMM< SUSHI! I eat that for the Wasabi… I know it’s not real… still love it.
Crab, lobster, shrimp, scallops, I love them all. Give me a cold seafood bar and I’m In heaven. My cousin lives in Alaska and sometimes I’ll have him ship me lobster from there, it’s so good.
Most anything from the ocean.
One of my favorites is good fish and chips in GB. With a Guinness of course…
One of my most satisfying was lionfish at a restaurant in Montgomery. We are about their only predators…
I used to stop in at Bubba Gumps in Lahaina, before it burned. I would always order the “bucket of boat trash” which is fish pieces, shrimp, snow crab, and fries served in a metal trash can. It was a little bit like Heaven should be.
batter and fry some kind of whitefish like cod and give me some tartar. I’m a simple man and those fancy bugs with shells in the water ya’ll like aren’t for me
dungeness crab
@tweezak yup. In season. Used to be pretty cheap. There were some recent issues with harvest on the West coast. But if you can get it, it’s great.

Shrimp!!
/showme shrimp eating humans
@mediocrebot must be the radioactive ones.
Wish I were joking.
@mediocrebot Whoa - suddenly the bot does violence!
Canned tuna in water, no salt added
@heartny Yes that is Awesome!
POKER! JOKER! NOT MEDIOCRE! AWESOME!
@heartny are you my cat?
@heartny @pmarin I’m quite shocked that my cats don’t get particularly excited about Tuna… They’ll eat it, but it’s not a special treat for them.
They much prefer regular catfood… or chicken.
Food I see.
@PooltoyWolf The best answer! I also go onto the See Food Diet

@pmarin
If you are “down south” later this month there is an oyster festival/fundraiser in Montgomery on the 20th.
@pmarin I like raw oysters, but seldom like them cooked. I think it’s more the texture than the taste.
@pmarin I’m not a fan of eating snot.
@kittykat9180 @pmarin Hmm. Do you also refuse to eat chocolate mousse? Because – you know.
@Kyeh @pmarin I am not much of a chocolate fan. It has to have something else with it, such as chocolate covered caramel.

All the ones listed, plus shrimp & crab; many kinds of sushi, especially yellowtail/hamachi. MOST seafood, basically!

Clams- Fried & Chowder
@ebatch Also raw if you’re on the East Coast.
Shrimp
Love shrimp, but only want wild-caught. The farms can be full of heavy metals and other nasty things.
Raw: tuna, escolar
Cooked: cod, pollock
My rule is if it comes from the water I don’t eat it.
Shrimp, from the Gulf, our Gulf of Mexico…not a Gulf in Asia which are bland and mostly tasteless.
@texmarc2 Persian gulf?
@texmarc2 Don’t you mean the Gulf of America?
Rainbow trout from Lake Superior.
@ndimitru
Inland sea?
@chienfou @ndimitru They’re pretty good in the Rockies, too.
@chienfou @Kyeh @ndimitru I thought it was Oysters in the Rocky Mountains.
@chienfou @ndimitru @OnionSoup No way. I won’t eat those things.
@chienfou @Kyeh
salmon snagging!!
also smoked chubs. but havent seen them around in years
@ndimitru this one knows ball

@Star2236 Wow!
No shellfish
allergies! Good fish like tuna, cod and pollock. Most any fish from FRESHWATER!
I’m from Maryland. Of course my answer is crab.

Alaskan halibut
Grouper
Over cooked salmon (I don’t like it slimy)
Spider rolls made with tempura soft-shell crab.
Cats are not seafood.
@werehatrack catfish.
@OnionSoup Catfish, even those from salt water, are not cats.
Fresh (not frozen) mullet smoked. And king mackerel and marlin cut into stakes.
