I pity anyone who doesn't know what good seafood is like. Having been born and raised by the ocean for so many years, I know it first hand. Sadly, the best seafood is very expensive nowadays but much of it is affordable. Strangely, when I moved to the Midwest, people here say they do not like seafood. Yes, they do eat fresh water fish. But that, by comparison, has very little flavor.
Same here. Not born and raised by the ocean for so many years, but have lived close to the coast for most of my adult life. I note the original poll didn't have any fish in it. IMHO, the best seafood is wahoo (a pelagic fish) (known in Hawaii as Ono or in Japan as Kamasu Sawara). Scallop is a close second. Shrimp is always good, and so is mahi.
Ok $64 thousand dollar question -- without googling -- do you know who was the first to say "all things in moderation"?
I pity anyone who lives in Germany -- - too crowded - no wide open spaces - no affordable real estate - too expensive to hunt big game - mean women - Russian tank armies to the east - crawling with Arab terrorists - no lobster - no abalone - no venison It's no wonder that my grandparents left Germany right after WW1 -- they had had enough.
I've heard stories about the German diet; they have a lot of pork, and they have all the loser fishes, like trout, and chicken I heard is expensive in Germany.
I like anchovies on pizza. I like fresh tomato and tuna and anchovy with crispy bacon pizza, with cheese on a tomato base. I order that pizza sometimes.
No. Jesus was famous for the following: - Do unto others as you would have them do unto you; - Love thy neighbor as thyself; - Render to Caesar that which is Caesar's and to God that which is God's; - He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved -- he that believeth not shall be damned.
I've heard they drive to Czech Republic for beer. This is what somebody from Bavaria once taught me, after teaching me about the lack of fish and the expensive trout in Germany, and how patriotism for a German can make a German blush (because of history) and how the German language has no class system; which I guess explains a lot if all you eat is pork, sauerkraut and the occasional trout. That said, I still like German food. http://www.hermanzegerman.com/
Germany can't be all that bad as they have some beautiful ladies: http://tinyurl.com/mvkm4yr Many moons ago, my dear Grandma told me to get a German wife some day as they are beautiful and make wonderful wives.
I go to German restaurants here in the USA occasionally and get the Hungarian goulash with spaetzli noodles and brown gravy with red cabbage, salad, and dark German bread. That's when I like a nice German beer to go with it. Goulash is a meat stew with some chili powder in it. Just meat though.
The essential thought is found in the work of the Greek poet Hesiod (c.700 bc), ‘observe due measure; moderation is best in all things’, and of the Roman comic dramatist Plautus (c.250–184 bc), ‘moderation in all things is the best policy.’ http://www.encyclopedia.com/humanit...ures-and-press-releases/moderation-all-things https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hesiod
Hesiod is credited with being the first scholar. We find the phrase in his writings. With seafood you definitely need to follow moderation because it is loaded with cholesterol. Northeast Pacific fish are loaded with mercury also, from the Alaska and California gold rushes of the 1800's. So your best bet is get your seafood and fish from the Atlantic.
Homebrew is always going to be better than retail, yes, because it is fresher. Same is true of wines. I like making my own cherry wine and then distilling it to cherry schnapps. Same as freshly caught fish and seafood is better too.
I voted crab because of the limited choices. I like king crab with a quality rib eye steak. Every spring I fly in 60# of live crawfish with a few pounds of andouille sausage for a family crawfish boil that is pretty hard to beat. We have a houseboat up on lake Powell, a few nights during our vacation we go out in the afternoon in some shaded coves for some stripped bass, that quickly become fish tacos. Elapsed time from biting my hook to my belly is under an hour. Damn I'm getting hungry.
Mountain lakes normally hold a lot of crayfish. Tahoe has tons. It does not surprise me that Lake Powell also has a lot.
I love the giant Scallops. It is the steak of the sea. Just wish I could afford the stuff. I also like Walleye and Blue Gill. I'm not big on rubbery lobster or swordfish.
You can get jumbo scallops almost anywhere. And they are probably 4th on the list of expensive seafood -- after abalone, lobster, and crab.
