Additional Comments:

which do you like or .....not?

Sushi - LOVE it, especially the spicy tuna or salmon

Caviar- I don't mind it, if it is good quality....

Calamari- I used to like it back when our friends introduced us to it....now I wouldn't touch it.

oysters- never tried, don't intend to...lol.

scallops- see above!

Lobster- sure I guess... I had it before, was fine....still not sure about all the hoopla over it.

Crab- same as above.  I actually prefer a nice crab salad or something.

Sushi - I don't like the rice around it, nor the seaweed/kelp.  Sad, because I like a lot of the things they put into the sushi, just not the wrapping.

Caviar- I've had some mighty fine stuff, at parties and such, but I wouldn't order it myself or buy it for a meal or party.

Calamari- I liked the fried, until I got a strip with all the little baby suction cups visible and then my stomach turned and I can't face it since.

oysters- I love raw oysters on the half shell, with a special sauce I make at the table.  Never have them at home.  I do enjoy them fried, but not as the only seafood in the meal.  I'm more of a 1 or 2 piece girl.

scallops- I've had them several times but to me they always seem like battered erasers.  Not a pleasant texture or taste, really.

Lobster- I sure do LOVE them.  Once in Maine, some friends and I ran into a restaurant special, 2-2# lobsters for $9.99!  And it was in the 80's, so no telling what they would cost now.  I was so sick of cracking the whole lobster, tho.  I much prefer a thick, juicy tail. 

Crab- I hate to crack it, but I love to eat it with drawn butter.  Yummy!

Nicki, I saw your reply to LisaP below, a person that eats seafood is a pseudo-vegetarian or Pescetarian.

I don't eat any seafood now but I never had caviar, tried lobster once but didn't care for it, loved shrimp, calamari, scallops, mussels and octopus, never liked sushi, never had caviar or crab of any kind.

    Hi Nicki~

    Fun -- I love seafood and don't get eat nearly as much as I would like!!

    Sushi - Don't eat enough but I do like it ...Love salmon!

    Caviar- There's a theme here -- haven't had any in years and years -- but I have enjoyed it in the past.

    Calamari- This -- I'm not so fond of and I betray my Italian heritage, much to my shame!

    oysters- Would like to try some -- especially on a romantic outing!

    scallops- If cooked well and correctly -- I love scallops!

    Lobster- Love lobster also but again, don't get to eat much of it ...and I'm more of a fan when it is out of the shell -- hard for me to get it out!

    Crab- I like the real stuff and not the fake stuff.

    Sushi - eh.  it's ok.  whatever.

    Caviar- never had the opportunity to try it

    Calamari- once in a while it's ok if it's not overcooked.  i especially like fried served with slices of banana peppers.

    oysters- tried them every way but raw.  they don't have much flavor to me. 

    scallops- oh my gosh! a large sea scallop that has been seared is the BEST!!  the little bay scallops are boring to me.

    Lobster- sure I guess... I had it before, was fine....still not sure about all the hoopla over it.  I'd rather have crab.

    Crab- LOVE LOVE LOVE crab!!  I don't even mind picking blue crabs!

     

    I also like mussels, clams and shrimp.  My husband could live off shrimp if I would let him!  LOL

  • Calamari is squid tentacles. OK, I know that sounds nasty, but it really is delicious if prepared correctly and not overcooked. Scallops are a shellfish. They live in a little shell like clams, oysters and mussels do. You've probably seen their shells on the beach. GG
  • Actually, if you see the big Yellow SHELL gasoline sign, that's a scallop. Atlantic, I think. anyway, that's the typical shape. eom/Jenny

    Sushi - only ever had it once, veggie, it was interesting

    Calamari- never had it; descriptions of it don't make me want to try it.

    oysters- never tried, don't intend to...agreed-dissected clams in high school-you expect me to eat something like that?  Ugh.

    scallops- Ewww!  Ordered them once, accidentally-why not just eat gristle on any cut of meat?

    Lobster- sure I guess... I had it before, was fine....still not sure about all the hoopla over it.  Agreed.

    Crab- Oh, love, love, love crab!  It is a lot of work, prefer it when the work is done for me, like crab alfredo over linguini.  Mmmm-mm!

    Sushi - YUCK...only tried a couple pieces, don't care for it.

    Caviar- Never had it

    Calamari- Love it...especially at my favorite local Italian Restaurant

    scallops- Not especially fond of these little rubbery critters

    Lobster- It's ok...I never order it though.  It's too expensive for something that I'm not CRAZY about.

    Crab- Love, love LOVE it.  King crablegs steamed...YUMMY.  And I like blue crab and snow crabs.  A really good crabcake is heaven...as long as it's more crab than filling.

    Sushi - only the veggie stuff. I've tried the salmon, but I don't like the texture

    Caviar - never had it, except the tiny bit that they sometimes put in sushi

    Calamari - I used to like it. If it's done properly, it's great. Otherwise, tends to be tough and rubbery

    oysters - I'll pass. I also don't do mussels and clams

    scallops - used to like them ok til I got sick on them once, and have avoided them ever since

    Lobster - it's "okay", I'm not nuts

    Crab - very good. Just difficult to eat, so I don't have it very often

    Caviar- I've tried it and just didn't find it to be "all that".

    Calamari- It's like chewing on rubberbands.

    oysters- Gag

    scallops- Yum!

    Lobster- Yum!

    Crab- Ok but a whole lotta work for a few tiny morsels.

  • I just want to say if the calamari you've tried is like rubber bands, then you've had some really bad calamari. Good calamari is actually really tender. GG

    It's faster to tell you what I do eat.

    Scallops, fried clams and a tiny piece of haddock.  My hubby swears it's the batter they put on them that I like and he's right because I wouldn't eat them plain.

    I like it all, esp. sushi. But I know I've mentioned before--the crab and lobster MUST be cut up and, of course, OUT of its shell before I'll eat it. They look like giant insects, and I HATE insects!!!
