I like almost all kinds of seafood but I'll just post one to start it off
Well, the supermarket had 50-60 count frozen med. shrimps on sale for really cheap so I've been going crazy with shrimp...
Problem is I will only eat seafood on Sun., Tues. or Fri. No particular reason, those are just the days that it sounds good
Anyway, tonight I'm making fish n' shrimp with rice tacos topped with my own rendition of salsa fresca
So what kind of seafood do you like to dive into?
That sounds good Virginia! I like just about everything but salmon, scallops and most whitefish are my favs. I bought a bunch of frozen tilapia, shrimp and scallops and my fav preparation with them is red coconut curry with jasmine rice, it's one of those have to eat every week type of things.
Yes. ;D
Salmon, Lobster, Shrimp, Crab, Tilapia, Cod, Halibut. I like to take crab, minced well, with celery and onion. A little salt and pepper. Put it between two pieces of Tilapia. Pinch edges. Dip it in egg and then some Parmesan breadcrumbs. Place in a backing dish with a little drizzle of olive oil. Bake at 300o for about 45 minutes. Serve with veggies and some hot crunchy rolls.
I've cut way back..you know..because the oceans are dying...BUT when I indulge it's all about Sushi....softshell crab, baked mussels, roe, tuna, yellowtail, eel,..and I like some King Crab Legs sometimes.
Salmon. Ever since I went to Montreal and had a fresh salmon sandwich, I've been in love with it. I'll try any kind of seafood, though. Right after salmon comes clams and crab. And shrimp. And tilapia....this could go on for a while.
Lobster, Prawns (are they shrimp to you?) garlic prawns, kill to get them in a nice cream and sherry sauce. Whiting, particularly St George Whiting in a delicate batter. Crabs, love blue crabs, delicate flavour, again with a nice sauce and with rice.
Adelaide is on the coast and our sea food is fresh, as in boat to market. I never buy frozen sea food. It is available every day. Must post some recipes, anyone game? or in this case are people fishy?
I was travelling around Australia 20 odd years ago, we came across an isolated area with oysters growing on the rocks, it was low tide. No one within three days. We eat so many oysters , how fresh? I'll get lunch, I'd say. taking a chisel and hammer. But it was so hot that we didn't have the ice to keep them cool, so we had to have them fresh. So we just had to skinny dip in the ocean to cool down.
Oh is it still snowing?
Cindy >:-)
When I was in Tasmania a few years ago I had Coles Bay oysters. Oysters, but not as we know them Scottie! Twice the size of normal and the taste was out of this world, "Essence of the Ocean" .
Well seafood isn't to my liking but put a fancy salad bar, desert bar and side dishes like mac and cheese, I can eat almost any seefood.

zOMG this sounds good!
I like a wide variety of seafood, and some fresh water fish, too. Favorites? That's tough question to answer.
Shrimp/Flounder/Scallopps and Lobster....Have had sea turtle, not my favorite at all.
NO oysters, NO tuna....
Sushi/sashimi, especially octopus, mackerel, spicy rolls. Or "dead fishies," as I call it sometimes. For the most part, if it swam during it's life, I like it.
I love most all seafood. Not a fan of raw oysters, but love small fresh deep fried ones. "Fresh" is a must.
Janet Lynne your recipe sounds great. I will have to have Roxy make that for me some time.
Cindy James, you are so tongue in cheek. :D You make me laugh.
Virginia Marie thanks for a good post. ;)
Hugs.

One of the things I miss most about living in California is the fresh seafood
Being able to go out on the Wharf and get fresh fish n' chips and a bread bowl of chowder or one of the many delights available was shear heaven :)
Virginia Marie that is a cute avatar!
Love the hat!
The best seafood in CA.......Andrea's in Ventura CA. Clam chowder in a Sour dough buoy. Fish & Chips.
Scallops & Chips. We have been going there for years and years. Yum.
:)
Hugs.
Patty
I love all seafood prepared in every way on any day (or night) of the week.
Patty, I hope to see you and Roxy at Andrea's some day, I'm buying. :)

I love all seafood particularly, Sea Bass, Monkfish, Lobster, Prawns and the list goes on.
We are lucky enough to have an excellent Fresh Fish market close by, I always come back from there with way more than I really need.
I like a piece of cod, dotted with butter and bread crumbs in the oven. But since eveyone agrees fresh is better, in the summer here I catch striped bass and the legal size in my neighborhood is the "hundred yard test". If you can make it the hundred yards from the river to the house without seeing a game warden, you've got a keeper! I have to kill the fish to clean it, then I make chowder. Nothing fancy, bacon, onions, potatoes, and cream.
Im a pretty open person when it comes to food period. I love eating salmon tho. My mom used to use a butter sauce and it would come out and it would be amazin. Ill eat any type of seafood. I once got it into my mind that I should buy uncooked unshelled shrimp yeah that was a fun afternoon. I spent 2 hours cleaning the things I had about 2lbs. but it was worth the scampi that came out of it.
Pretty much any edible swimming thing I've had I've liked. Lobster of course, fresh wild cod (dinner the other night -- fish and chips with plenty of Old Bay, can't beat that), shrimp are always good, scallops, squid. Conch too on the rare occasion that I find it. Octopus isn't bad, but I like squid better. Never had and am against the consumption of shark and whale though.
Haddock and cod.
That's about it for me. xD
oysters, mussels, razor clams, langoustine, squid, cuttle fish, sushi, sashimi, fish of all types...I basically love fish and sea food, but can't eat it as much as I'd like because it's quite expensive.
It helps that I was a cat in a previous life.
Cod, chips and mushy peas!! And we found a really nice place for it in Cornwall too, where we are off to again in august.

Ah there are no decent fish and chip shops where i am, you're lucky.
My favourite seafood has to be salmon though. Done in the oven or steamer wrapped in foil, drizzled with lemon juice and a sprinkling of dill.
I like most fish and shrimp.
I too have been on a shrimp kick recently --- I seem to not be able to get enough of it ... infact tonights dinner is planned grilled shrimp.
I also like scallops. Otherwise I am really not a big fan of seafood
break out the lobster with drawn butter and I am quite happy...I even did some driving around during a trip to CT a few years ago specifically to places that had hot lobster rolls.
A current favorite dining haunt has a proprietor that has it flown in for me fresh and just charges me his cost...have no idea what the masses would be paying for the same lobster though.
Salmon (when pinky orange), Prawns with noodles, Herring & mangos, Lobsters etc. Don't really like bony fish = annoying.
Well, the supermarket has been running some great sales again :) So last night was pasta salad with chicken pomegranates... I now have a new favorite to add to my list ;D Tonight is pasta and shrimps pomegranates salad with spinach
Sushi! Raw salmon! Yessssssss.
I like to make stir fries with oddities like squid, snail, and octopus. Yes, snail is seafood!
I like most seafood. I live inland and the fish prices are high. I usually get the cheap store brand frozen imported stuff when it goes on sale.

My Dr has informed me that Prawns (shrimp) are really high in Cholesterol, :'( so I will have to cut them out and make do with Salmon instead. Beautiful farmed Atlantic Salmon here in Tassie. ;D
karen.
I like most seafood, but haven't tried the more exotic stuff like octopus yet. Sushi is my favorite, followed by crab and fillets of various fishies.
Just about anything that comes out of the ocean !
If fact tomorrow were having a lobster boil with a few of the neighbor's !
Shrimp and Crab Legs
I'm on the seafood diet. I see food and eat it!

In my opinion, you can't beat an old-fashioned Cape Code clam bake.
Lobster, crab, quahog clams, corn on the cob, carrots, onions, potatoes - all steamed with seaweed under soaking burlap sacks.
Crab cakes!
Sushi.
My favorites are spicy tuna, yellow tail, and eel.
Also, lightly pan seared tuna can be pretty amazing.
When in the mood, a plate of fried whitebait and a strong porter can not be beaten.
There was a big thing for crayfish a few years ago, I used to enjoy my crayfish sandwiches, but not anymore.
I eat a lot of grilled fresh sardines, especially with avocado and dried tomato.
If I were rich I'd buy a nice snapper or a seabass or something, I can cook a beautiful delicate fish, full of flavour and firm without chewy. I like cooking octopus when I get the chance, sometimes you can buy small octopi and I love the way the tentacles curl up, I can get it lovely and soft as well, not chewy.
my favourite new thing is smoked mackerel with or without peppercorns
When I was younger, I would dive for abalone off of the Santa Barbara Channel Islands
Preparing an abalone steak was a lot of work (for one thing you had to tenderize them with a wooden mallet), but the result was well worth it.
The secret to cooking abalone is to use a scorching hot cast iron skillet, and using a method like you would for Cajun blackened fish, quickly in smoking butter or olive oik.
My brother is a scuba diver and would occaissionally bring home Abalone. Sliced thin, couple of gentle taps with the steak mallet and into a hot frypan for 30 seconds, no more. Essence of the ocean. Hmmm Homer Simpson moment! :)
Simple question,
Simple answer: ALL
But if the OP is going to get real pedantic and demand a specific response, oysters beats EVERYTHING hands down, bar none.
I was invited to an oyster festival some years ago, and weren't these things massive. They were the largest Sydney Rocks I've ever seen. They certainly weren't the Pacific ones, and Oh my father, wasn't that such an exquisite night. I deliberately didn't keep a tally, but it was .... many. I would have been extremely :embarrassed: if I had of kept count.
Just one more of life's little boxes that has been ticked.
Be safe, well and happy
Lotsa huggs

I make the best crab cakes and shrimp cakes ever, along with my tangy sauce and half a dozen skinny, lightly steamed asparagus spears....to die for!
I eat vertually every living thing from the sea, except worms.
My favorites, but most people would not try:
live octopus, sea squirt, sea cucumber, Echiuroidea, and sea weeds (dried laver, sargasso, sea lettuce, etc)
