Never had real seafood before. Where should I start?

Do NOT eat crab.

Get some seared scallops at a nice restaurant and never look back.

I recommend Scallops. And Shrimp Scampi. You can probably easily handle plain popcorn or deep fried shrimp. My GF is against fish, well not against them, but against eating anything from the sea. SO that pretty much makes me that way too. I do get the occasional dolphin (the fish, not flipper) sandwich while at work.

OH! See if you can find an upscale restaurant (I'm assuming you live along a coast somewhere, and not say - In Nebraska (in which case I'd say forget all thought of anything from the sea)) and order a nice Mahi filet. It's tuna, but really really really good. Its delectable and like a good steak.

Raw oysters can give you a lot of bad diseases.

Go somewhere you can actually get it straight off the boat. Generally within 50mi of the coast. Go to a local resteraunt, not a chain. Profit.

In all honesty, that is, if you want to do it the way the typical AT member would suggest:

Snorkel at your nearest coast.
Catch said seafood with your teeth and a sharpened piece of coral.
Harvest lemons from your own tree, because let's be honest, store bought just isn't the same.
Start a fire with nothing but a piece of flint or a magnifying glass; whichever is easier.
Cook said fish with nothing but bare hand.
And finally, profit. Sweet, sweet profit.

Restaurants are wack yo.

with a squeeze of lime, or maybe a dash of hot sauce or worcestershire sauce, or just by itself.

we've had a lot of cold weather the last month and so the oysters are fantastic.




screw the hushpuppies, catfish needs buttery grits.

WORD TO THE WISE- DO NOT EAT RAW OYSTERS UNLESS YOU KNOW THE CHEF.

All it takes is ONE of those suckers to be sitting in their own urine for a day and you'll be in a hospital for a week. Unless you're in a place where people are eating them left and right (so you know they're fresh), I'd avoid them all together.
