yay im not the only one! i never really liked any seafood growing up, which is strange for someone in louisiana. difference is that i have never liked shrimp! they smell horrible when theyre dead and the texture is too chewy when cooked. i do crave boiled crawfish and blue crabs though since i havent had either in about 4 years. had a few crawfish at an asian place and the state fair once and let me tell you, they have no idea how to flavor them!
There chewey when not cooked right but tiger king prawns are the best !!!

I don't really like any seafood myself, the only exception is cod. But that's not really a fishy tasting fish, if that makes any sence lol
It's amazing how easy maintenance is. If done regularly and thoroughly

Just watched 'Earthlings', Very sad to watch those animals in pain, especially the fox that has his entire skin/furr ripped off and is left as a bloody mess blinking in shock. To much crawelty to list all the horific things the animals go through. I don't know how people can work at these slaughter houses :(

Over here it's a chipmunk. Typically one that stays around and is willing to take food from your hands :lol:
It is absurd to talk of one animal being higher than another. We consider those, when the cerebral structure/intellectual faculties most developed, as highest. A bee doubtless would when the instincts were.

Yeah don't flame me but I LOVE any kind of seafood! Of course as long as it does not swim in any of my aquariums! My favorites are clams, oysters, crab, lobster, salmon, tuna, and any kind of sushi! :D

But it is nice to have some pet fish that share my eating habits since most of my friends are not big seafood fans either. If I plan to cook some (such as shrimp or clams) I usually throw a piece of it into my puffer tank prior to cooking it for myself.

And no I am not asian. lol
