My favorite would probably be Shrimp and then soft shell crab followed by alligator.

Prawns, crab, shrimp, tuna, salmon, cod, mackeral (smoked is lovely) ,haddock & scampi are all nice, but are the only seafoods I've tried (other than sushi, raw versions of what were already mentioned)

You got to eat Gator? Lucky bastard.
Soft shell crab is definitely my favorite. I also have a taste for sushi, but it's much too expensive. Best sushi I've ever had, by the way, comes from a sushi restaurant in my hometown; it's called the Yum Yum roll, and it's a wrap of tuna, salmon, yellowtail and possibly something else, with cream cheese -- and then it's deep-fried and served with some kind of sweet sauce and seaweed. Never had anything like it; I've seen other deep-fried sushi, but it's always battered, which tastes terrible; half of what makes the Yum Yum roll so good is the crispy rice with the sweet sauce dripped over it.
I also really wish I could get my seafood fresh-caught; I hear that the reason all fish pretty much tastes the same is that the different flavors disappear quickly, as in within a day. That's another reason I like sushi -- when the fish is raw, you can still taste some difference in what you're eating (it's not much, but it's there, especially in the texture.)

I enjoy fish. Shellfish are too difficult, and should be left for the otters. What vermin.

I heard alligator tasted like chicken, then again, EVERYTHING exotic tastes like chicken, or so the people eating it often say.![]()
Lobster is delicious, but not so easy to catch. Crabs taste pretty good, and are not so hard to catch.

i like fish though not so much salmon. Not really into crustaceans though, i had a bad experience with a blue crab once.
I like fish.
do you like fishsticksI like fish.
I most certainly do.
It must suck for all you people who don't get fresh from Alaska salmon flown in to local grocery stores. Washington state geographic location ftw!

We get alaskan salmon in London, but I presume they freeze it first! It is still tasty though.
I have had properly fresh west coast salmon in Vancouver though, and that was fine!

Crab is okay, but too much damned work. Same with crawfish and lobster
Bass. Crappy. Cod. Trout. Catfish, even though they eat poop. Favorite fish hands down is Red Snapper, broiled or lightly fried.
Also like Tuna. Both kids. South of the border, where the tuna fished play

In terms of fish, I'll pretty much eat all the standard faire; cod, haddock, salmon, tuna. I generally incorporate alot of fish into my diet as an alternative to chicken (would get boring otherwise) and in favour of red meats.
I'm also really fond of sushi, though it's rare that I'm able to get back to Manchester to eat it in my favourite Japanese restaurant (Umami <3), so I usually end up buying it from Asda or Tesco. It's nowhere near as good and much less choice in terms of what you get (a few futomaki, maybe a nigiri and naturally some California Rolls) but it satisfies my love for the stuff. :3
I have eaten crab, which has an exquisite taste and is really satisfying to the palate, but haven't tried lobster yet, although I would like to at some point. I used to loathe prawns when I was younger, but now like them and utilise them more and more for stir fries, curries and such... a nice alternative to chicken!
I used to be really partial to calamari; Manchester Metropolitan University's Student Union used to serve the stuff for a pretty decent price (especially after 4pm :D), and it went down surprisingly well with a nice glass of Kopparberg. However, apparantly some students ended up with food poisoning from eating the stuff, the SU took the stuff off the menu and I haven't had any since! :<

My favourites are the seafoods that can be caught locally around my hometown. Bream, catfish and if we were lucky sometimes we'd get a whiting, if we were really lucky, very rarely we'd even get a jewfish. Mud crab is bloody delicious and is probably my favourite seafood, although you have to be careful if you don't want to lose a finger.

What type of crabs are you eating? There are some pretty big ones around. A big mud crab for example can have a good 3kg of flesh on it, well worth the trouble.

y'all havent eaten crab till you have had southenr maryland blue crabs. i usually dont like crab but this meat is simply exquisite
Oh god yes. Rainbow trout is my favorite, and I love calamari, crab, and swordfish too. Not much of a lobster fan. Shrimp is good, never had prawns, mussels are okay...I could go on but really, I could live off seafood. Too bad I'm in a landlocked state. :(
I had alligator, myself, when i was in Florida, but I was too young to remember what it tasted like.
I absolutely love all seafood, you can't beat it. Except possibly with meat, hell I like most food full stop.
We get fresh alaskan salmon in the local supermarket where I live, no idea why though, Scottish salmon is just as good and well known (at least in europe).

I was raised in a town where the biggest industry used to be lobstering, so I'm sort of required to like seafood.
I'd say shrimp are my favorite, along with mussels and crab. Fish I have to be in the mood for, but when I am I love it.
The ironic thing is I don't like lobster, which is basically seen as blasphemy in my family, considering my great grandpa was a full time lobsterman.

I've been eating Sushi since I was a little kiddo so naturally I love seafood and I can't live without it.
Except I don't mind not eating a Squid or Octopus. Not one of my favourites.
Thermal, if you come over I'll train you up until you can eat raw fish with a smile on a face![]()
