Do you dislike seafood? If so, what are your reasons for

>>8822032

I like seafood. thank you for asking

>>8822032
Seafood is tasty as hell. I'd become a pescetarian if not for the dangerously high levels of mercury and other toxins found in seafood these days.

>>8822046
you can thank burning coal for that.

I hate seafood. I think its because my parents hate it too so I never ate it growing up.

>>8822046

Stick to smaller and lower-end-of-the-food-chain creatures. You're gonna have to give up tuna, swordfish (y tho) and other larger shit but things like squid, salmon and cod are still delicious.

Most 1st world coal plants already cut ~90% of emissions (they are caught in filtration processes). Chinese and Indian Methyl Mercury is what's in your fish

But I am delicious

I like it now. I grew up in a mostly vegetarian household so getting used to the taste and texture of meat took a while.

>burning coal

>>8822073
I should add that most seafoods and pig and other unclean meats were not allowed in our house because they were unclean (SDA).

>>8822073
That's really sad to here anon, sorry you had to go through that.

>>8822032
i like fish with scales & gills, like salmon/tuna...secret weakness for squid/octopus
but FUCK eating shrimp/crab/lobster, that shit's like eating big ass bugs

Technically, yes, you are eating sea bugs (people that tried fried spiders and other critters in SEAsia say they taste exactly like crab) but don't let that get to you :)

>>8822032
I love seafood I'd eat it much more often but good quality seafood is always a little out of my price range, though I do splurge when sockeye salmon is in season because it's my absolute favorite fish

>>8822087
If bugs are the shrimp and lobster equivalent, what about oysters and clams?

Yes you are, Mr Fisk.

>>8822097

They're just their own thing

>>8822097
Snails and slugs. They're literally the same phylum: mollusks.

I love seafood, but I'm landlocked, so it's a luxury for me just to get it frozen.

>>8822102

thanks

>>8822111
You're welcome.
Is that a herring?

>>8822032
Your dish looks like it's been soaking in the ketchup fluid that builds up over time and flows to the top. Very unappealing. No wonder people dislike seafood.

Lobster is fucking delicious

I want to get back into crawfish and soft shell crab

Atlantic "Norwegian" Mackerel

My mom and grandma always just chucked the whole damn fish in the fryer and it always stunk up the house. Even kept the scales and head and all, it was disgusting.

>>8822220
Also, awaken my quints

I like seafood but buy it rarely because the cost to taste ratio is completely unbalanced.

>>8822032
Yes, smell is horrifying and the texture is like wet chicken.
I used to eat crab and I can't knock the taste at all, it's good shit, but I haven't eaten seafood of any kind in 20 years. The smell is impossible for some people to overcome, I vomit after 20 seconds, the nausea is real.
These might not be good reasons, but they are my reasons.

I'm fucking terrified of cooking anything but steak and hamburger anyways, I can not manage to keep from getting sick. I would cook other meats if I had a deep fryer however.

>>8822032
it's expensive

>>8822129
Smoked mackerel is God tier

Do people hate it that much? I love the fishy smell you get when you walk up to the seafood counter in a supermarket

>>8822052
>cod is no longer considered a large fish

I don't dislike it, I just don't understand why people pay so much for it.

and seafood is always better when you catch and prepare it yourself

>>8822108
btw some of the best food I ate in my 4 months living in Spain were snails from a streetside stand. They tasted very seafood-y, but they're so fun to suck out of the little curved and twisted shell.

>>8822032
I like fish just fine, if it's properly cooked.
Not a fan of prawns, don't really like the taste.
No experience with other seafood; why pay for something I might not like and have to throw out?

>>8822032
I'm Jewish.

I like fish, though.

>always wanted good cheap lobster
>lobster is seen as a luxury practically everywhere because it has to be shipped live

>>8822080
It is fine, I had no idea what I was missing so it made it easy.

>>8822049
Opposite reason for me, my parents ate it regularly but for the longest time my mother liked this one variety/recipe that flooded the whole house with a terrible stench every time she made it which utterly killed any interest in anything outside of a can for me.

>>8823706
Go to where the lobster comes from, anon. Expensive imported lobster is shit. Cheap local lobster is tasty.

There are some issues to be worked out if you're an American with far off fantasies of getting to fucking Maine
