Seafood

Psychlops · 21-09-2019 09:17PM #1

Hi all, so I work in retail & today I was stocking some seafood on the shelfs when I happened to pack some "seafood mix" onto the shelf, Jesus H Christ the state of it, I could feel myself getting queasy & it got me to thinking as I dont eat this muck, who actually enjoys this "food"?

The smell of some of the items like people having microwave smoked salmon in the canteen is enough to make anybody go WTF, dont get me started about Tuna & its appearance & texture/smell & the rest like crab/carp/mussels :eek:

Tell me AH am I the only one that hates this "food"? Gimme a prime sirloin steak in pepper sauce anyday!

Tuna, sweet corn and cheese in a fresh bagette. Heaven.

Seafood pie on a cold winter's evening. Pure comfort.

Crab claws in Lobster bisque. Finger licking good.

Here's a tip. Go to a nice seafood restaurant and try it. You'll never look back.

Love me some breaded cod/haddock.

cj maxx · 21-09-2019 09:27PM

Quite like sea food . Mussels ,cod caught yourself is lovely. Best by a mile I've had are prawns in Shanghai.

You should try raw langoustine heads

The only thing wrong with cooked seafood is the smell which lingers around the house far too long, which is why I tend to buy smoked fish.

Over 100million Japanese can't be all wrong.

That seafood mix is usually some combination of cod, smoked haddock and salmon, it is delicious in a seafood chowder served with a couple of well buttered slices of crusty bread. Proper comfort food for the winter.

Only problems I have with seafood is its too expensive and I dont eat enough of it.

Fresh seafood doesn't smell much when cooked.Unfortunately we here in this country don't appreciate seafood and most people don't know the difference between good and bad.I work in the business and see very little top quality fish landed.The fishermen are more interested in quantity than quality...they tow their nets for too long,stay out too long and handle their catch poorly....as a result the consumer is getting a poorer product than what they deserve.

The first one , the tuna , sweetcorn and cheese is my rescue food.
The rest you can stick up your hole .
Special mention for mackerel and some butter and lemon juice, amazing.

Hello, ladies!

Sometimes it really amazes me how many picky eaters live on this island.

Seafood is amazing and incredibly varied, you shouldn't just cast it all aside in one go.

A client of ours from the Czech Republic told us they have it for Christmas dinner over there. He told us a story about winning one in a work competition. It was live, so he kept it in his bath until Christmas. Kind of reminded me of the whole Pinchy thing from The Simpsons.

Mostly on Christmas eve.

Well prepared carp is actually very nice and flavoursome.

It is difficult to eat because of the size of the bones, but if one cooks it well it is well worth a try.

I was actually surprised when moved in here that fish and seafood are not as popular despite being an island.

Beef quality here is great, though, so can't blame you

Carp don't live in the sea

That is true.

That's why I separate fish from seafood in general, to avoid confusion.

Gotta catch a whale for research, to research how tasty it is.
