    So many people seem to hate it. did for years too, except for shellfish. I am slowly beginning to take a shine to some types now though, perhaps my tastes are beginning to refine. What is it that puts people off it?

    I have this argument regularly with people who say they hate fish and im like so you have tried all of them.

    I just asked the internet and i got some figure saying 25000 varieties how can anyone hate all 25,000 different types of fishies.


    Ps. Fish fingers is not a type of fish.

    This is a great thread for once, and I'm not codding you.

    It's fine when presented right. But when you get it, and it still has it's eye (happened to me several times)... less than appetising.

    Seafood is ok, but please warm up before you eat it.
    Don't want to pull a mussel.

    My uncle's a fishmonger so I was pretty much raised on seafood. I've yet to meet a fish, crustacean or bivalve that I wouldn't eat until it came out my ears (except carp; it's meh). One of my earliest memories is of shelling prawns on a family picnic.

    I love fish

    If it smells fishy it's not fresh. Prawns definitely shouldn't taste fishy.

    Has anyone else noticed that the further a person lives away from the sea the more likely they are not to like seafood?

    Seafood chowder with crunchy baby octopus, divine mana, slatterys on cable street do the best.
