FabSwingers.com forum: Do you like seafood?

And if so what have you tried?

What’s the most unusual seafood you have had?

As it seems loads of things have been eaten by people that come from the sea.

What can’t you stand?

I find it strange how I like scampi, but am not really a fan of languistines. Technically the same thing

I'll eat prawns if they are in a sauce and that's it.

Mussels look like tongues or slugs.

Can’t stand cockles, mussels or whelks either and they seem to dish them out at the seaside

Ha ha. It's just a part of the skin. But it was fried I think with some nice added sauce. Tasted weird but good. You can find lots of weird seafood around the Arctic.

I like most, except for crab and oysters. I'm a big wuss, so I can't rip the heads off prawns, but once peeled I love them.

My favourites are fresh razor clams and squid, but I also have a soft spot for jars of octopus in oil.

On a more putrid note.

Has anyone ever tried surströmming?

It's lightly salted Baltic Sea herring and popular in Sweden.

It's gross and smells as if something has died and been allowed to decompose in the tin / jar.

If you want to exact revenge on someone simply send them a tin of Oskar's Surströmming. They'll be vomiting all over their kitchen if they open it and the stink lingers.

Like prawns, if hot.

Lobster but the lazy kind, can’t be doing (or is it can’t) open the claws;

Crab but not overly dressed keep it simple;

Squid if cooked right so not like rubber. I couldn’t get on with octopus or past the sight of the suckers;

Eel cooked the Japanese way, not the east end delicacy;

You do need to pre-cook it if you're intending to barbecue or grill.

Roast, bake, poach or simmer at around 15 -20 minutes per pound weight.

The Spanish tenderise octopus by flipping it in and out of boiling water several times. But just freezing it works.

Had a tray of assorted seafood in Greece incl Sea urchin, clams. Most were still alive when swallowed. I had a monster erection for hours, it is not a fallacy. Had fresh shark in Ascension, Moreton bay bugs in Australia. They looked like huge wood lice but tasted great. Soft shell crabs eaten whole in China, yummy. Smoked eal in Germany, lovely. Rollmop herring and black bread in Holland and Denmark, served with a type of schnapps...yuk, disgusting. and I like raw fish.
