    Yum.. Couldn't agree more. I love fish!! Thinking about it is making me very hungry.
    Would definitely give up meat before fish.

    Dont like seafood at all, never did. haha I remember as a kid refusing to even eat fish fingers.

    Perrywinkles, prawns and battered cod, that's as much seafood as I can handle. :p

    Read an article a while back on fly-fishing for bass. At the end, they took a decent bass, about six pounds, rolled into their local bar, ordered a rake of limes and beers and cut strips of the bass to eat raw with lime and beer. I reckon add some wasabi and that sounds pretty perfect.

    Was never mad about it but my wife loves it so we have it on the menu every now and then.


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,897 ✭✭✭Kimia


    Oh glorious fish. How can anyone not like these dishes for example:

    Sea bass pan fried (so the skin is crispy) with lemon butter sauce
    Roasted monkfish wrapped in parma ham
    Seared salmon with a honey glaze
    Prawns flash fried with garlic, chilli and coriander

    YUUUMMMMMMM

    Ordinarily I like my ignorance to be ill-informed, but when I saw your thread title, what could I do?

    Even if you're well informed, and have a plan, it;s still sustainable crab claws FTW.

    love salmon, cod, monkfish....anything really as long as it is heated!! dont ask!


  • Registered Users Posts: 5,377 ✭✭✭Warper


    Cod and chips from the chipper occassionally or else fish fingers. The rest taste like foetus. I do take my daily quota of cod liver oil tablets so that is enough fish for me. Oh and the odd bag of perriwinkles - gotta love eating snotty fish-snails - yummy.


  • Registered Users Posts: 357 ✭✭Horse_box


    Nothing better than going out, cathing a few mackerel and throwing them onto a bbq within a few mins. Fresh fish is fookin' delish man!

    Just thought I'd add to the thread as it was beginning to Flounder

    I voted Atari fish head before I realized it wasn't red meat. No wonder it's got only 4 votes...

    Love sushi.


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,398 ✭✭✭whatdoicare


    Love, love, love, all kinds of fish! When we were on holidays as a family I would beg for a Spanish Tapas dish called (I think) Pulpo. Basically Octopus chunks in an olive oil soup. I was addicted to it!

    My other favourite is Tuna steak done on the grill! I could eat that all day!

    Don't like how fish is cooked in Ireland, it's mangled and over sauced, like as if the chef feels he/she has to hide it to get people to eat it, in Spain they just grill fish and throw a bit of Lemon and olive oil on it and it's beautiful!

    Ah, man, I'm hungry now.....


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 37,215 ✭✭✭✭Dudess


    Used to love all sea-food, now I'm more fussy. I'm gone off shellfish as it tastes pretty vile and is quite dodgy for the stomach, plus mackerel isn't nice - too strong. I still really like the rest though.

    Like most seafood.


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,183 ✭✭✭UnknownSpecies


    Oh my god no one has made the "I'm on the seafood diet.... when I see food, i eat it" joke.

    Well you can't now, coz I ruined it. HA

    Aaaaah you just ruined my night :p

    I love seafood though, fresh mackerel that you catch yourself, what could be better! Love shellfish too, moules-frites in the south of France, huuuge bowl of the nicest mussels you can buy served with chips, I was in heaven :)

    Love Fish ... with the exception of Smoked Salmon which I dislike intensly

    Sea Bass now that is probably my all time favorite


  • Registered Users Posts: 5,700 ✭✭✭fonecrusher1


    Now listen here. If i was in a restaurant & had a seafood platter plonked down in front of me, there are certain things i couldn't eat.

    - mussels (don't like em)
    - oysters (fcuk off, tried to eat one last year. Tried)
    - raw salmon (get your bags & baggage. Cooked? oh yes)

    Everything else on the plate i'l eat. Crab, lobster, scollops - scrummy. Nice bit of battered or breaded fish, lovely. Any fish fried in real butter is going to taste nice. Then again if you fried your shoe in butter it would probably taste nice.

    I love seafood, particularly shellfish. However, it's amazing how many people here like salmon (particularly bearing in mind that the salmon you get in supermarkets/fishmongers is farmed). Having spent the last year studying marine biology and fisheries science, I would never eat farmed fish again, especially Tiger prawns and farmed salmon. The methods and feed used to grow these animals not only harm the environment but pose a serious risk to human health. I recall one incident in Waterford where a fisherman was fined by the SFPA (Sea Fisheries Protection Agency) for using farmed salmon as bait in lobster pots. The reason - the salmon was deemed to be too toxic (full of PCP's) and therefore might contaminate the lobsters!

    I like most fish, but not keen on cod or salmon. I wont eat something that lives in a shell.

    Mackerel, kippers, haddock,plaice, whiting,smoked coley would be my favourites.

    Plus, farmed fish doesn't taste of anything.

    AND fish farming actually consumes more fish than it produces.

    Best fish to eat are small fish lower down the food ladder - mackerel, herring, sardines. Also forget cod, over rated and is currently being hunted to extinction (in fact, despite our best efforts, we WILL see the extinction of the Atlantic cod this century). Eat haddock, coalie or pollock - they are all taste the same anyway and you can be assured that when you order your 'cod' and chips in the chipper, you'll be getting one of those instead.

    Oh and to those here that like tuna - enjoy your bio-accumulation of mercury and other heavy metals. Best tuna to eat would be line caught skipjack and nothing else.

    fried and battered fish is wonderful.
    Lobster, crayfish, shrimp, no way.

    I can't get past the smell. Ewww!
