My favourites are Barramundi and Balmain Bugs - and calamari as well, as long as they're cooked properly. But really I'll eat any sort of seafood except for oysters and mussels.
When I make this salmon spread, I use fresh salmon fillets and I don't add the sour cream or horseradish. This recipe was from a TOH magazine. Salmon Spread 2 cans salmon drained, boned, and flaked OR 1 large cooked salmon fillet 1 pkg. cream cheese 1 Tbsp. finely chopped onion 1 Tbsp. horseradish (optional) 1 Tbsp. lemon juice 2 Tbsp. mayonnaise 1 1/2 tsp. dill 1 cup sour cream (optional) In large mixing bowl, beat the first 7 ingredients until well combined. Shape into a loaf or ball and chill. Top with sour cream.
Mussels. Being a native New Englander, I love steamed clams and mussels. Yum, yum! - - - Updated - - - I like lobster and crab too. I don't eat the bodies though (the meat is too stringy). I just stick with the claws and legs and the also the tail on the lobster. I don't cook them myself though. I feel so cruel putting an alive animal into boiling water.
Lobster from the Gulf of Maine with Newburg sauce. http://www.thefreedictionary.com/Newburg+sauce http://www.thefreedictionary.com/Maine+lobster [video=youtube;KOPj5K4Yk0o]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KOPj5K4Yk0o[/video] Had to add this Boston accent.

Being originally from Brooklyn, NY and living by the ocean for 35 years, I love sea food. Cooking is my hobby so that both my Yankee and Manhattan chowders are to die for. But my absolute favorite sea food is something you cannot get anymore: When Nabisco took it out of the market, they committed a crime against humanity. There are other companies that make pilot crackers (what are more commonly known as hardtack or sea biscuits), especially in Canada. Naturally they are not quite the same. And now that I have had to go gluten free, I cannot use the old recipe as it would cause me harm. Therefore, I get rice crackers as substitutes for sea biscuits. Hopefully, some day Nabisco will make pilot crackers again - this time GF. One can only hope!
People eat more shrimp/prawns than any other non-fish seafood. But lobster is definitely the best !!!
You left out ALL!!! I tend to think crab is sweeter than lobster but I also like the fishier fish. Hard to get good seafood in the middle of the US but there is a little shop that has fish flown in daily and cooks dinners to your specification and is a little gold mine. When someone brings up Gulf shrimp I am first in line. I also once went netting for mullet (Biloxi bacon named during the depression). Fillet and deep fry along with hush puppies. Great. Also a company I once worked for would host a crawfish boil in NOLA that tied up the crawfish market for a month and people came from all over the country to attend. 5,000 lbs wasn't uncommon.
Most of you have never heard of abalone. These giant snails live off the US West Coast in seawater from 10 to 50 ft deep. They have the texture of calamari and the taste of clams. Some people live for them on their dinner table. But lobster is still better !!
The best from top to bottom (which is still good too): 1 - lobster 2 - abalone 3 - jumbo prawns 4 - raw oysters 5 - octopus 6 - calamari 7 - scallops 8 - crayfish 9 - clams 10 - mussels
Lobster is the bomb!!! Seriously...its much better than shrimp or scallops. Where was Salmon on the list? Salmon must always be on the list. lol
Separate topic -- chocolate is the worst thing on this Earth that you can put into your stomach. And after you kill your gall bladder with it then you can't touch it anymore.
Lots of obvious things did not get on the list, most notably abalone. But salmon is a fish not a seafood -- I think he/she meant shellfish counting exoskeletons as shells.
He lives in Germany I think -- not easy to get affordable lobster there. And abalone is even more rare.
Granny kinda partial to Mrs. Paul's fish sticks... ... cause dey's easy to fix... ... just heat `em up inna oven... ... an' smear some tartar sauce on `em.
This thread's rather shellfish, taking all the room from the other fish, selfish shellfishes, anyway, pun over - I too haven't eaten lobster, I've only seen them in the tank alive waiting to be sold... Maybe once at the Aquarium too actully; Was a lot bigger though. I've only had crab once; in an homemade Guyanese Curry. I eat shrimp, but in my country; we call shrimp prawns and a prawn is a shrimp. You know what I'm talkin' about..
I like tuna, mackerel, cod and pollock before salmon. I like Sushi. I like Ackee and Saltfish and Fish & Chips.
