Do you eat seafood or fish?

[ChrisFL]

I love sushi so I usually only eat fish when having sushi, especially tuna, I LOVE tuna (But due to the mercury I don't have very much of it, sadly).

Salmon can be very hit or miss. I've had some incredible salmon and some very mediocre salmon, where tuna seems generally to be better quality.

I know a lot of people seem to think sushi is "fishy" tasting but that means they've only had bad sushi IMO. It shouldn't have a "fishy" as generally mentioned at all. I also don't think it's coincidence that Japan and Iceland both have very long life expectancy and both have diets high in seafood.

Yes. I eat most types of seafood. Even as a kid I enjoyed fish, and not just canned tuna or breaded fish sticks. My family always had seafood on Fridays, even after the restrictions on eating meat were eliminated.

Even today on Fridays I more often than not serve some type of seafood or order it in a restaurant.

There was a time I loved shrimp, scallops and flounder mostly. Then I started getting really sick after eating them. Accidentally had seafood salad on my plate thinking it was pasta salad. Pushed it aside and ate the rest of my food. Within minutes I was a giant hive, seriously I was head to toe hives. Turns out the times I was getting sick, even eating fried chicken in a restaurant was a severe seafood/shellfish allergy.

My daughter is praying that she doesn't inherit the allergy as it runs in my family, or her boys. They would eat sushi and fish every day of the week if they could. My 10 year old grandson requests sushi as his birthday dinner and eats the leftovers for breakfast.

Yes, all of the above. Fresh seafood meals were some of the highlights of trips to Alaska and Japan.

Reading complaints on a a cruise forum (not DIS) from people on an Alaskan cruise. People upset that the restaurants in port have menus predominately of seafood and fish dishes.
Well, for most I would expect that to be something they expected on an Alaskan cruise.
So you eat seafood or fish?

I hate seafood, except for a well prepared fresh crab cake.
I like fresh fish such as walleye and perch, which are abundant here up North.
When we lived in the deep south, we ate catfish and hush puppies! Yum, I really miss those

I don't eat any of it. It looks bad, it smells bad, and the ones that I've tried all tasted bad, too.

We eat more seafood and fish than we do meat. When we go to Hilton Head or Cape Cod, we eat only seafood, no meat. We say we become Pescatarians there. The only seafood I really dislike is sushi-don't know why. Oops, I just thought of one other-Tilapia. Ever since I saw all the Tilapia in a tank on the Living with the Land Boat Ride-before that I ate Tilapia, but not any more. I even eat Grouper-a really ugly seafood that tastes good.

Tilapia (and catfish, too) often taste like dirt, because they eat a lot of it. They are bottom-dwelling filter-feeders, so they constantly sift through the silt to look for food, and end up eating a fair amount of the silt along the way. I'm not a big fan of eating bottom-feeding fin fish.

Fish and shellfish in general, though? Oh, yes. I don't eat as much as I used to since I moved to the midwest, but when I'm back on the coast or near a major lake system where fresh and affordable are the same thing, then it's just about all I eat.

I don't care for sushi, but I do like ceviche. (I'm simply not fond of Japanese-style preparation for most foods.)

Yes, all of it. Sushi (raw or not), fish, shrimp, crab. Can do clam and muscles but not a top choice, same with salmon (prefer white fish). I don't do oysters or the cheap fish that tastes super fishy (forget what it's called, cod or whiting, catfish or whatever). Used to eat sardines as a kid but haven't had in many years except mixed in things like Ceasar salad. Can tuna is do able but I dont eat that often (it's probably been a couple years).

Shrimp is my very fave. Then MD crabcakes (grew up on the Chesapeake Bay). Then sushi, lobster, white fish and crab legs. Not a big fan of picking steamed crabs....I know, blasphemy. Crab soup is good.

I've never eaten a catfish that tastes like dirt, but I don't eat them directly from the river. The restaurant where we always order catfish raise their own, so there's no nasty taste. They taste very good.

Yes, everything, i like it even more than meat

I’d probably be disowned if I didn’t eat fish; it’s a staple of my culture, lol.
Although I did live through a period of not eating any kind of fish because of fear of bones. Learned what the skeleton of most fish looked like, how to cut it off the bone and got over it.
Love most seafood to the nth.

I eat cooked fish and shelfish. Not a fan of every type. In the shellfish category I like shrimp, crab & lobster. Fish it is maimly salmon, cod, flounder, trout, sole and halibut. For fish & chips I prefer cod over halibut or haddock. But it has to have the beer batter, no bread crumbs. Bread crumbs mean fried fish. I like baramundi but have only had it at restaurants.Canned tuna is OK but not tuna steaks.
