I like seafood. Not all kinds of seafood, but several. My favorite is popcorn shrimp (yummy!)

Ugh. That stuff looks sick. If they cut off all those bumps, it might look edible, though.

As for hot dogs, I think they taste great, even if you don't know (or want to know) what's in them. The hog testicles and sawdust really give it flavor.

:lol: I never said it was pretty to look at-it just tastes really good! When eating octopus and squid it is best to divert your eyes and try to think of a pleasant wilderness scene.

Im not a big fan of seafood. Not because of the looks or where it came from. Just never really liked the taste. Ive never understood why people like crab, chinese style or american style.

I do like salmon and shrimp. Thats about it. Im used to eating the shrimps with the heads and eyes on them. Does not bug me. Rip off the head and eat the meat.

Ah, the eyes of the fish. You can unplug them and play with them in your mouth like they were candy. Except that no matter how long you suck, they never dissolve. Eventually you'll have to spit them back to the plate or swallow them.

Want some advise: try to make the fish mouth into a smiling face, that way it seems it's enjoying it.

Ah, nothing like the flavor of raw white fish marinated in lime, onion, garlic and hot yellow peppers. Or rice mixed with tomato, parsley, seashells, squid, octopus, clam and hot peppers... Or squid and other assorted stuff, fried with flour and then dipped in marinara sauce.

Just can't find a better variety of food than wherever I come from... damn now I'll have to go tomorrow and have lunch on one of these places.

While I normally dislike seafood of most kinds, I actually love sushi (which, of course, is never complete without wasabi & soy sauce) and I also quite like crab meat (though I hate having to crack through the shell and dig for the meat)... *shrug*

That's the irritating part about eating crabs, cracking the shell. But when you do, you get the feeling that you "0wnz" it.
Or at least it's just me.

Actually, Lobsters are more closely related to cockroaches than too crabs. That does't mean I won't eat them.
and people don't eat its innards; they avoid the stomach area
That depends on the guy. I eat everything except the front of the head. Then again, I also eat chicken gizzards. I guess that's to be expected growing up the son of a poor fisherman and a poor farmer. You eat everything, cause you can't afford to waste any.
Why should the idea of cracking open a lobster and eating its tailmeat be any more revolting than the idea of grinding up a cow into paste, compressing it into sausages, and then selling it as "food"?
Don't you go insulting sausage. I just had BBQed Moose meat susage yesterday and it rocked. The point isn't to insult certain categories of food, but to avoid poor quality foods. Don't like to eat an anus? Get Kosher food, they can only use muscle in their sausages.

No they're bloody well not!
Cockroaches are insects, related to the isoptera (termites)

Crabs and lobsters are crustaceans.

I love all types of Sea food..cept the ones that are like jelly.

I luv lobsters and especially CRABS. Crabs are cool...I remember my father bought some and started chopping them in half. Even after chopped in half they're still alive :D

My favorite is Salmon and smoked fish. Not to mention squids.

I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro's great stumbling block in his stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen's Counciler or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate, who is more devoted to "order" than to justice; who constantly says: "I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I cannot agree with your methods of direct action"; who paternalistically believes he can set the timetable for another man's freedom; who lives by a mythical concept of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait for a "more convenient season."

Has anyone tried Shark? I really didn't like it as the meat was very stringy or maybe it was the way I prepared it? Anyway, could some one share a good recipe for shark (that doesn't include soup and fins)?

I've tried shark before... Its kinda hard to describe. Chicken with a rough texture is the best that I can do.

I was on a boat trip and my brother caught a small shark. It was like a softer, chewier fish. I still liked it, though.

Other than that, I'm really not into fish. I prefer beef, or chicken.

Yeah, this Georgia Bulldog fan LOVES fried gator. :D

Crunchiness, chewiness, spiciness, and meatiness all at the same time. I love it.

Yes, and crustaceans and insects are closely related. Some more than others.

I can order ou some, genuine Cajun alligator. I could get it every week, but alligators are getting the near endangered species list back from the DDT days.
