If you go by population in general I think seafood is quite popular overall, who knows? We probably both have some amount of confirmation bias based on where we live.

For instance, some catfish technically aren't seafood - there are freshwater species in great quantity. My dad and I always curse hauling in a "bullhead".

As for confirmation bias...eh. There are some fish I still won't eat - my parents love pike, but I can't stand the $(*$(%*$ pitchfork bones, or the "muddy" flavor. That's been going on since I was a kid.

Good Morning, MEUSA! :)


Good Morning to the rest of tLodge! :)

Seafood smells gross....why would anyone want to eat it? Crab is ok. -Marylander opinion
 
Re: Rep Retirement Lodge #189: The Winter of our Discontent.

Morning

I'm good with seafood. Only item I won't eat is salmon. Because I think it tastes terrible. But I will eat pretty much everything else.
 
Re: Rep Retirement Lodge #189: The Winter of our Discontent.

Good Morning Lodge!

fried clams- yum!!! Scallops, crab, white fish of any sort- yum. Oilier fish- physically intolerant (nasty sx, don't ask) so no. raw anything :eek: NO!!! too many potential bad outcomes (learning all the potential problems in school scared me away)
 
Re: Rep Retirement Lodge #189: The Winter of our Discontent.

Oh, and at the Tie, Bye, Sushi bar tonight. Will order veggie sushi

Don't come to Alaska then.

Seafood is *ing fantastic. Salmon, halibut, tuna, crab, shrimp, scallops, etc. it's all delicious.

And sushi, I love sushi.

I agree with all of this. All of those things are friggin delicious.
 
Re: Rep Retirement Lodge #189: The Winter of our Discontent.

And raw seafood, raw beef, etc is all wonderful too. But it needs to be high quality. Fresh seafood, or a good cut of properly aged beef. There's nothing to hide poor quality in a raw preparation. At Travail we watched the chef expertly butcher the salmon we ate, while we ate our first courses. Flown in fresh, never frozen. As fresh as possible in MN. Then it was simply served raw in each dish. It was incredible.
 
Re: Rep Retirement Lodge #189: The Winter of our Discontent.

Not a huge fan of seafood but, like les, I enjoy a white fish, caught in an ocean - haddock, cod, sole, even grouper if I'm in Florida. I've forced myself to eat salmon in an effort to eat healthier. I can manage it, not something I feel I can do on a regular basis. Also, when I travel and I'm in middle America, I choose to not eat fish at all. Some of it is fresh water fish, and to me it's not that tasty, and any of a restaurant's ocean-caught fish has to be shipped so I don't think it could ever be as fresh as fish bought here. There's a great restaurant here on the Fish Pier called the No Name. It was basically a lunch window for the fishermen to eat it way back when and then it became a restaurant. Freshest fist I've ever eaten. I always tell visitors to go there when they ask for a seafood restaurant.

This. I am obviously spoiled because I live in Alaska and fresh can be head rather easily but, fresh seafood is key. Quality too, "Sushi Grade Tuna" is an actual thing.
 
Re: Rep Retirement Lodge #189: The Winter of our Discontent.

And to clarify, I love salmon but only fresh salmon, farmed salmon sucks (yes I can tell the difference). But again, spoiled by living in Alaska where fresh salmon is a lot easier to get.
 
Re: Rep Retirement Lodge #189: The Winter of our Discontent.

39F here. I want it to be warm. Feeling a little stir crazy.
 
Re: Rep Retirement Lodge #189: The Winter of our Discontent.

Also in the love (most) seafood camp.

To your point jjak, I have family on the coast of Maine that do not prefer seafood. They might have some once in a while, but it isn't too common.

I'm not sure that there is a huge gap between coast/Middle America.

I think there is. But then again, about 2,000 miles separates us from the nearest coast. Sure we can eat fresh, but that's almost an expensive luxury. We really don't grow up eating it and we don't have access to it on a daily basis.

Most of that is because what we do get is pretty much crap. Therefore we grow up hating it and associating it with not-so-fresh fish.
