TBH, I buy shrimp, lobster & crab, but I get products that have already been cleaned up. I hate stripping the shrimp and cracking lobster & crab shells. UGH. GROSS. I also avoid passing by a meat counter that has pig heads. :bag:
Can't believe I left oysters off my list! I can spend hours in the bar when they have the 25 cent oyster specials!

When we stayed on Mt. Desert Island, we stayed on the quiet side, and there was a lobster pound about a mile from our house. We would have eaten there every night if we hadn't had a non-seafood eater with us. We left her home two nights, and went to Thurston's. Two nice-sized lobsters, corn on the cob, cole slaw, roll, and drink, total about $50!

My first trip to Ogunquit, ME was a three day weekend. We arrived in time for lunch and headed straight for Perkin’s Cove, where I enjoyed the first of several lobster meals. I had lobster for dinner that night, lunch and dinner the next day, and again for lunch on the final day. I considered having lobster for breakfast as well, but opted for wild blueberry pancakes instead, both mornings. My, that was good eatin’!!!

We had a Fogbow meetup in Maine. There was lobster, from what I gather.

I was gonna make shrimp fried rice last week, but they had some beautiful bay scallops in the fish case, so I made scallop fried rice instead.

It was transformative.

I don’t eat anything with an exoskeleton.
Allergies?

Because mollusks and shellfish are some of the great joys of my life. But I might have to take an antihistamine with lobster, which is very distressing.

What a way to go though! Especially with a good Spanish red wine.

I know you all mean well, but some of us are allergic to shellfish, and are sad when surrounded by people discussing said items.

My husband had to sneak out and get himself lobster rolls when we visited Maine several years ago, because he didn't want me to feel bad that he was able to eat them, but I would have swelled up like the Michelin man if I had been tempted to follow suit :lol: .

My daughter is allergic to scallops. But she's a vegetarian now, so I guess it doesn't really matter anymore.

I recently rediscovered the joy of a good grilled cheese sammich. And I tells you now that the best bread for it is Orowheat Italian bread.

I made one today with pepper jack cheese, deli ham, hot cappicola, and thinly sliced Roma tomatoes at the center so they're just barely warm.

I had scallops for dinner. Yum.

I can't believe I've driven past this hole-in-wall looking place and never bothered until the city featured it on their FB page.

Australian style seafood. OMG. I'm so there.

My son is allergic to shrimp, lobster, tuna and salmon. (He can eat crab, scallops and most other fish.) I feel sorry for him because he is missing some of the best things in life.

I didn't see Moreton Bay Bug on the menu. Bug is what I remember most fondly about Australian seafood.

If you left it open face, it would have been called a bruschetta.

My fav g cheese is one slice of aged swiss (where the salt has started to form on the rind) and a slice of real Kraft American (not the proc food product) on cracked wheat, butter fried both sides, but not smashed. *DO NOT* smash my grilled cheese please. Thank you.

How about potatoe and white cheddar perogis with red onions, green peppers, and chopped tomatoe, sprinkled with fresh parsley and oregano, served with grilled tri-tip (medium rare) marinated in red wine, and green beans?

This picture is old, but it's what I made for dinner last night.

I'd make it and send it by Grub Hub, but it might be cold by the time it gets there. Sorry.

And it's not quite the same reheated. Kinda like my spanakopita.

Butter fried & non-smashed are the only way to go.
