Do you love eating seafood? Seafood is rich in iodine and most of them are protein rich foods thus very healthy to eat.
I grew up eating seafoods caught from the sea. However, you may cook it be it stewed, fried or broiled the taste would always come out a little sweet and juicy. I have also tasted seafood from freshwater but it does not taste like this. Which seafood do you prefer the one from freshwater or from the seawater?

If it is "freshwater" then it cannot be "sea" food can it? :-)
I love seafood, the real kind, the one that comes from the sea. I find the meat of freshwater fish a little too sweet, the skin a little too think and the bones a little too awkward for my liking. I prefer the salt water fish. And not just fish, I like all things I have tasted that have their origin in the sea.

I love to eat seafood but then here it is so expensive. Well at least we buy it once a week. I do prefer the seawater but I don't think I have the choice with the kind of prices we see around here.
They term "freshwater" food as "cultured' seafood because they raise it in the fishpond and the "seawater' seafood as "wild caught" because they catch it from the ocean. The catfish and milkfish all came originally from the ocean but a lot of them now are being raised in fishpond but they are still considered seafood right?

Well then, here there are 3 kinds...The seafood is caught at sea. The cultured is grown in sea water farms in salt water and then there is fresh water fish which is caught in rivers, inland ponds and lakes. The best of course is the first kind.
