Just like watermelon grows if you swallow the seeds. And gum stays in your stomach for seven years.
Where’s that like button already? 
I would recommend that, if you have never had seafood before and you are on a flight that flight that offers either steak or fish, choose the lasagna.
Best. Post. In. Thread.
I thought this thread would disappoint. It did not.
omg are you serious?? I’m freaked out to try caviar now but I will definately try other types of seafood soon. Ive always wanted to try puffer fish
Caviar and puffer fish??? Steer clear of the delicacies for a while, and just concentrate on plain ol’ fish. McDonald’s is a good suggestion. Or go to the supermarket and buy some fish sticks.
And I still can’t believe you’ve never had any kind of seafood. How old are you?
I LOOOOOOOOOOOVE caviar! Big spoonfuls of the stuff piled onto hot buttered toast points with a nice spritz of lemon juice! :o
It is indeed very salty, but it’s a good salty! The very best caviar (Beluga, Ossetra, Sevruga) is outrageously expensive; I’ve had it, but only as someone’s guest. Other types of caviar (salmon, lumpfish roe) are not bad at all and much cheaper.
I can’t imagine there would be any problem with the eggs hatching inside you.
I like various kinds of fish, suitably prepared. But I don’t eat squid, octopus, shellfish, or any kind of crustaceans (lobsters, crabs, etc.)
Somehow, I can’t bring myself to recognize mollusks and crustaceans as food. I don’t eat escargot either. I don’t even know what caviar looks or smells like, but just the thought seems icky.
But salmon and mahi-mahi are double-plus-good!
PUFFER FISH ? ? ? :eek: That’s a close relative of fugu and equally poisonous, is it not? Or maybe even it IS fugu?
What kind of fish does McDonalds fry? Is it salmon?
Are you casting about for possible ways to describe for our fish-virginal OP what fish tastes like?
Methinks the OP is fishing.
McDonald’s Filet-O-Fish is whatever the cheapest variety of fish is at the moment, which has never been and probably never will be salmon. Cod is a lot more likely. If someone’s serving salmon, they’ll call it salmon.
North Atlantic whitefish, they say, but I think that’s a generic term for fish like cod and pollock. Whatever it is, the flavor is very mild.
Salmon has pink flesh and a much stronger flavor. Trout is similar, but it’s exclusively a freshwater fish (I think). Both are delicious.
You have to let us know now if you are being held hostage against your will somewhere. We can send help. In case you are serious, here is the ingredient list. No normal person thinks that McDonalds Filet O’ Fish might consist of salmon.
“FISH FILET PATTY: Ingredients: Pollock, Wheat Flour, Water, Modified Food Starch, Contains 2% or Less: Yellow Corn Flour, Bleached Wheat Flour, Salt, Whey, Dextrose, Dried Yeast, Sugar, Cellulose Gum, Colored with Paprika and Turmeric Extract, Spice Extractives.”
I find it extremely hard to believe that you have never tasted seafood unless you come from very exceptional circumstances.
Can you please explain how that happened to you in particular? This isn’t an especially good joke unless you are writing from Saharan desert or somewhere that seafood is a completely foreign concept.
I’ve never had fish, I am in my 20s and I’ve never had seafood because ive always been combination grossed out or simply not interested in it. I didnt think it was that surprising that someone has never had seafood before but I guess it is.
Now as ive thought more about it the more curious ive gotten about seafood
Yes, and not with much skill.
But it has been pretty entertaining, you have to admit!
Shag, I like you so I’m not gonna tell the story about the time I had caviar and Rocky Mountain oysters. In fact, even now I’m not sure I can talk about it.
For some really good seafood venture into the shellfish department… oysters, crabs, shrimp, lobstah, etc etc. Later in the season softshell crabs will be in season… they are the best of all seafood hands down.
There are so many different ways to cook seafood: Greek, Italian, French, Spanish, New England, Cajun, Creole, Japanese, Chinese, to name just a few…
It’s not only what you eat, it’s how you cook it. Sampling each cuisine will keep you busy for a long time!
