Never had real seafood before. Where should I start?

[Rufus12]

For as long as I can remember I haven't been able to eat seafood. I just avoid it at all costs. This includes any kind of fish, squid, shrimp. The only kind of seafood i have been eaten is lobster, but I can only eat the meat from the appendages. I'm just looking for ideas on where to start?

 

[Colt45]

don't. other than fish.

Seafood is delicious. Scallops, mussels, shrimp, prawns, ohhhh boy. Then all the types of fish... I think I need a seafood dinner this week. It sucks not living near an ocean anymore though, because it is not nearly as fresh.

Try some octopus...

But seriously start off with something deep fried and go from there on your way to sushi.

What do you mean "I haven't been able to eat seafood"?

Going to guess it makes him sick.

I am not a big seafood fan short of it being deep fried but then again anything tastes good deep fried. :awe:

 

[brblx]

i can eat stuff like kalamari and good quality shellfish.

anything even remotely 'fishy' makes me want to puke like fuck.

i'm guessing OP is similar.

you can go to a chinese restaurant and then look at the fish tank they got there to pick a fish u want and have them to cook it right away. steam is the best for the taste

Raw oysters are incredible.

 

[novasatori]

for mild fish i like swordfish and mahi mahi

 

[El Guaraguao]

Long John Silvers is a great place to start.

:awe:

 

[Colt45]

Raw oysters are incredibly bad.

ftfy

Red Lobster

Start there then when you do have good seafood you'll appreciate it that much more.

red lobster is still pretty good seafood if you're comparing to like, long john silvers. but it's not worth the price.

i wouldn't ever go to a fancy seafood resturaunt becuase i don't want to risk blowing a large chunk of money on a meal and not even liking it.

lol @ red robster suggestions

lol @ red robster suggestions

one person suggested it sarcastically and i said at least it's better than long john silvers.

that's not exactly a glowing recommendation.

 

[MJinZ]

Fish or Unagi is all i eat.

Find a soul food restaurant, order the fried Catfish and enjoy. I hate seafood, but I can handle fried Catfish, especially with a big side of Mac & Cheese. Still not something I ever go out of my way to order, but can be pretty good at times.

 

[ChaoZ]

Shrimp, scallops, fried squid, unagi.

 

[Cdubneeddeal]

Raw oysters are incredible.

Indeed. I like them with lime juice, rock salt, and ground pepper. Better than tequila which is candy to me.

 

[nageov3t]

scallops are basically going to taste like whatever they were cooked with.

salmon's usually a safe bet for most people.

 

[SKC]

Seared wild salmon. Then garlic roast crab.
