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

    I lived by the sea for many years and disliked fish until recently. I think it was the smell that put me off initially when I was a wee lad.

    I have lived by the sea all of my life with the exception of three years and I cannot stand the stuff.

    I love seafood - on holidays I'll eat it everyday and will often go for it in restaurants at home too. I rarely cook it for myself though - I think it needs a delicate hand and to be honest I make an arse of it.

    Do you love fish sticks?
    I love fish sticks in my mouth. I am, however, not a gay fish.

    It won't do you any harm, but for proper, proper prawns you'd need to get some Dublin Bay prawns from, say, Fallon and Byrne, or a proper fishmonger. The M&S sandwich prawns are probably pre-frozen greenland ones.

    I like it generally, but good lord, who decided oysters was to be considered food. Cold slimy snot!ugh!

    I was at an oyster festival yesterday in Carlingford.. They're nice enough when eaten on occasion with a nice pint of the black stuff.. wouldn't be their biggest fan though

    Nope, don't like seafood. At least not any that I've tried anyway. Anytime I've tried fish I didn't like it at all.

    But I've never had shellfish, so I suppose I'd try that sometime if the opportunity came up.

    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.

    Exactly, just like people who say they don't like fruit and vegetables, as if "fruit and vegetables" was just one thing.

    In general fish is yum, especially oily fish like mackerel and shellfish like mussels. Or a nice bit of finely cut salmon sashimi. I'm not wild on squid, I find it too chewy and not especially flavoursome. I'm sure there is other seafood that I don't like but it's not springing to mind at the moment.

    Ps. Fish fingers is not a type of fish.

    Well, yes. No different to meat there are all different flavours and textures.

    We seem to eat very little fish considering we're an island.

    +1. The only red meat which would come close would be Sirloin/T-Bone or perhaps some quality Lamb.

    Crab, Scallops, Lobster, Perriwinkles, Cockles, Prawns, Baby Octopus, Squid, Mackeral, Trout, Swordfish, Tuna (steak), Sole, Plaice etc. We export the best and eat fish/seafood in it's least appetising format ourselves (breadcrumbed) because I think there is a fear of consuming flesh that hasn't been packaged or looks like it was once alive.

    I eat probably more seafood than I should but I don't really eat much red meat at all so, either fish or chicken. A lot of salmon and tilapia.

    I love seafood, pretty much everything.

    It's more the case that a lot of people don't know how to cook it properly, that's the seafood I don't like, badly cooked.

    Most of the fish I have tried I have hated or barely tolerated. It is partly the texture, partly the taste, partly the million little bones.

    I do like tuna and smoked salmon though.
