Even though I am a shellfish harvester now and I used to be a lobsterman. I still like seafood. I also work in a seafood wholesale/retail shop so I work with it everyday. Most people who work with seafood don't usually like it. I actually like some seafood. I like lobster, clams, quahogs, scallops, and mussels. What about you? what kind of seafood do you like?

I like a lot of seafood. I mostly like crab, lobster, shrimp, scallops, and mussels. My favorite dish is seafood gumbo. My favorite restaurant is Red Lobster.

Seafood Gumbo is like a combination of all kinds of seafood with a broth, and it is served over rice like a soup. It is more popular in southern states.

I like your choice of seafood! haha I love Red Lobster as well! But they don't have any up here so I mostly get it on the dock or from the shop I work at. What is seafood gumbo though?

Yes crab meat is quite expensive. We sell crabs pretty cheap at the shop I work at but that is because they don't have much meat in them.

I like to eat something like shrimps, shells and crabs because I really like their fresh taste. Fish is OK. But if I can have a choice, I will select shrimps, shells and crabs at first. I love China

wow. you must have eaten seafood everyday. Very lucky of you. Sometimes I also wish I can make a living selling or harvest seafood. At least it won't make me pay a high price for my favorite seafood. My favorite seafood relly cost a lot for my standard. I like lobster, crab, big prawn, oyster, mussel, clams, bamboo clams and as long it is not smelly fish.

My favorite seafood would have to be crabs. I really do not know why but I always like the taste of crabs. Second on the list is the lobster. From time to time, I cook crabs for the family since my wife and my child have the same appetite for crabs. Well, its not that cheap in our area, so its not something that we take everyday.

I have actually only tried crab once I think and I do not remember if I like it or not but it does look appetizing. But it is also very expensive! I don't blame you for not getting everyday! haha

I like all kinds of seafood. My country has a vast oceanfront and I grew up eating them. I love all the ones you named plus a lot youdidn´t. I like very much squids and octopus, I like sea urchins, I love shrimp. Many of our traditional dishes include them, many times cooking them only with lemon juice.

Yes it would be interesting to see what international seafood looks and tastes like. Some of our stuff we get overseas, like calamari.

I love eating crabs and shrimps. I feel like I'm so blessed at times when I have the chance to eat crabs because it's not like it's an everyday meal and it can cost a lot too. I also love shrimps even if it takes time to take off the shell.

Hi DertyJ, My hometown is located on a long coastal land, so I love sea very much. Just smell of the sea water I remember my house where my parents are living now. Because of living earning, I must be far away my family for years. Every time I return my home town, the first thing I do is to buy more and more seafood for eating. Quahogs, scallops are one of kinds I like most. I often eat very much due to the place where I am living and working does not have coast at all.

Hello t2_group, The town I live in currently is on coastal land as well and I enjoy the ocean as well so it is good that someone enjoys it like I do! That sucks that you have to be away from your family a lot. Sometimes I buy seafood from the shop I work at myself because I enjoy it so much and I get a discount! I absolutely love quahogs and scallops as well. Thank you for your response! :)
