Do you like Seafood?

[Sarai]

There's this market called Billingsgate somewhat close to where I live. It's one of the largest seafood markets in the UK and sells fish and other seafood direct from the docks nearby. It's an indoors market and always very busy, but here's the kicker, it opens from 4am to about 7am in the morning, if you come 7-8am you won't get anything nice.

Anyway, I was there this morning 5am to about 6am and I stocked up on some amazing things. I got some King Prawns, but not just any prawns, these are super size 8-9 inch monster prawns and at £45 a box for about 18 prawns (2.50 each / $5 each) they're expensive.

I am going to BBQ them, or grill them. Some with Lemon and Garlic crushed inside, a few with a light garlic butter sauce and some just as they are. Usually, I manage to burn my fingers on the shells after I take them from the BBQ, but hopefully not today.

Also, got a live crab that's currently in my sink, some smaller prawns and some wild arctic salmon...

Anyway, what's your favourite seafood? Also, what should I call the crab before I cook the little monster :)

[RyanTime2]

I said no already, dammit!

[tomato-soup]

Mmm I really would like fish now. Too bad its 2AM in NJ.

[Reed]

I looove seafood
fish, shrimp, scallops, everything mm

[LunarTwilight]

I guess I'm rather lucky. I live right around the corner from a Long John Silvers and a few blocks further leads you to a red Lobster. :)

Don't really have a preference, seafood is simply heavenly bliss in one's mouth.

It's all worth a try.

[DepressedStone]

Ahahahaha.

[KIRBYLINK]

[KingsHighway]

I love seafood, specially sushi. Alot of people think that raw fish would be gross, but it's actually pretty good.

We could make a little prawn ourselves. I'd have a new favorite dish, eaten raw.

You could name the crab LazyDrunk, cuz that's probably the closest I'll ever get to your wet warmth.

[Sarai]

The crab is now called LazyDrunk.... Fits it well, it's waving pincers at me, if I was Japanese I'd probably have some strange attraction to it or something.

Rub him down once, just a little bit, for me. He'll go down easier, I swear.

Seafood is the best! What's even better is italian.

[JadeTheAssassin]

The only seafood I can tolerate enough to eat and not get queasy at the smell of it is crabmeat, tuna, and battered fish for fish and chips.

I'm such a wuss, I basically avoid the seafood section as much as I can whenever I'm in a shop.

[beanieclock]

Mexican food is where it's at!

You're missing out my dear! What about giant prawns, slit down the middle, half shelled with garlic, herbs and maybe a little bit of crushed peanut in it. Or with some chilli salt... or Prawns de-shelled and two or three large ones stuffed into a Tortilla with a light, very light dressing, salad and so on also in it.

Mhhhh, I think I have a food fetish. *gets out her cooking knives in preparation for food orgy*

Now I am hungrier than ever and there's nothing to eat, and being 3am I cant go out. You will pay!

[Haoie]

I dislike it, but I wouldn't go so far as to say I hate it.

I wouldn't eat it on purpose mostly though.

[poxpower]

Arg I hate you.. 9 inch prawns?
Fuck yeah. I hear the bigger they are, the better they taste.

Personally, I can't get enough smoked salmon and crab legs. But I love all seafood, except sushi, which I think isn't as great as people say, though I don't eat it often. Maybe I only had the kind that tastes like seaweed and saltwater.

The bigger they are, the more they can give, is more better tasty? I don't know. Also I was reminded of a picture you draw a while back, Octopus... Yeah, seafood... mmhhhhh ;-)

Anyway, prawns are good when they are larger, because you can do more with them. The only problem is that for guests you have to spend the time cleaning them internally first (Prawns have a distinctive, not sure how to phrase it, 'crap line' in their back that you really should clean out.)

But anyway, once cleaned, BBQ'd and sauced up, they really are great. Got to be careful not to make them too tough, if you freeze them at home you need to get them out plenty of hours before guests.

Anyway, Sushii... I like, but I actually prefer Sashami, the raw fish on it's own. I think that the rice and seaweed wrap can sometimes over do it...

I'm not really a fan of Lobster, although I do like crab.
