The only thing more abundant than meth heads in Florida, is top-tier seafood. I love it all, save for raw oysters. I'll eat them, but I simply don't "get it".

They are supposed to make your dick hard.


Never makes my dick hard. I'll eat them if they are part of a meal, but otherwise...meh.

The thing is, seafood varies SO much that just saying "I hate all seafood" seems like a blatantly uninformed opinion. It's like the equivalent of saying "I don't like land-based meat"

Shrimp is as different from crab is as different from salmon as beef vs chicken vs pork.

I'm fine if someone doesn't like crawfish, or doesn't like tuna, or doesn't like scallops, but "I hate seafood" is just a bizarre statement. It's like saying "I hate vegetables"

Even fish taste and texture varies wildly. A salmon is nothing like a grouper which is nothing like a tuna which is similar but not exactly like a swordfish which is also similar but more fishy tasting than shark. I mean there is just so much variety without even pointing to wildly different things like shrimp and scallops.

Crawfish is the most beautiful food that the world has ever made. I thank Charles Darwin everyday for Crawfish.

Maybe. Going into the details of why you'd rather not go to Red Lobster because it's a shit-tier restaurant is so much more draining than just playing the seafood hate card.

I hate all seafood...served at Red Lobster.

Tastewise, sure, shrimp and scallops are quite different. Texturally, I find them too close.


Crawfish are just fucking gross. Ugh, sucking the entrails and brains out of a giant dead bug.

Red Lobster is a mystery to me. They have horrible seafood at the same prices as places with good seafood, yet they are a national chain that some people seem to love and I have never been able to figure out why that is.

Simple solution is people with a taste for seafood have a taste for shit.

I'll try a lot of things, but crawfish is pretty fucked up. It does not sound pleasant.

The only reason I ever go to Red Lobster is because here the pickings are slim otherwise. As for why Red Lobster of all places is successful nationally, I'm willing to bet that it caters to a non-coastal palate. Yeah, they have straight fish dishes but not many people I know get that kind of stuff. I only ever see people getting stuff that's been fried or super heavily seasoned so that the fish flavor is pretty much masked. It's just a tier above LJS in a lot of regards.

I really don't like a lot of seafood overall, unless it is deep-fried or the seafood is somewhat mild. For me it's just a matter of how strong the flavor is. That's why I can't handle most sushi. Just cook that shit.

It's odd that you mention that. A lot of the sashimi I've had has tasted kinda bland. At least the fish itself. Though, to be fair, a lot of proteins are pretty bland especially when you leave out salt(and maybe pepper).

I can get a pretty good steak for the price of a good sashimi and it totally does not compare even if you ignore the seafood or fish taste aspects.

If you find scallops and stuff to be to squishy grill it.
If you don't like tasty tasty crawfish there's something wrong with you.

Yeah, only hamachi has even a slight fishy flavor. But most of the fish that would be served at sushi places aren't very fishy at all when raw.
