Spartan, I didn't say that frozen prawns are better than the spot prawns. I admit I am a rookie shrimper but I have eaten fresh spotted prawns and they are a delicacy.

Kinda thought that but when the posts are about the most scumptious seafoods and you say the frozen grocery store stuff tastes fine.........thats like saying the farm raised Steelhead from BC tastes fine too!!!!!

The mention of goeduck caused me to realize I've never had that, either. From what I've read, it's expensive, but I've also heard that it's real tough, maybe like horse clams.

Is it good for anything besides chowder?
Why is it so expensive?

Has anyone here tried it? Please report.

Also, regarding steaming manila clams, I add a little white wine to the water to boil and steam. And I cannot figure out how to calculate servings. I think I can just eat them until I get one where I crunch down on a grain of sand. For some reason, that does it for me. Sand in my teeth and I'm finished, whether it's the 3rd or 4th clam, or the 20th. How about you?

Sincerely,

Cut Geoduck or horse clams into strips then pound them. Coat and deep fry for awesome clam strips.

I thought Seafood was for people who could not afford Steak. :p

Pretty much the only Seafood I like is White Clam Chowder. A shrimp cocktail is nice also if it is free, I do not like them enough to ever order one.

I know, I know I am a loooooser :rolleyes:

I want to like Seafood and keep trying it but it just doesn't appeal to me.

Oh the memories...A huge milk shake glass filled with conch and shrimp with celantro and lime eaten while strolling the streets of Mazatlan/.mmmmmm

Yellow fin tuna steak off the grill that you just caught in La Paz Mexico.. or Cerrvichie (sp) made with fresh sierra in the same place.

Sockeye on the BBQ is also right up there.

Thanks Aunty

Grandpa how did they serve that ??? Was it like a cocktail or was it blended together like a drink because it doesnt sound to appealing. But matzalan is a great place caught my first sail fish down there

Tuna, or, clam, whatever you want to call it.

I'm allergic to seafood (shellfish).

Lets see here

#1Fresh ling and spot prawns cooked on the same boat they were caught on while still anchored up in the SJ Islands. You can't get Mac-n-Jack in a bottle so about a thirty two ounce Tanqueray and tonic will do with a fine cigar for desert.

#2The first BBQed salmon of the year (preferably Springer) cooked over a smokey alder fire in my kamado with just a little salt, pepper, butter and lemon.

#3 Fresh Razors Quickly pan-fried in cornbread crumbs.

But if I could choose my last meal it would still be a plate full of my dads pan fried fresh water perch fillets a big scoop of mom’s coleslaw and a couple of slices of Grandma’s fresh baked bread with real butter. That meal will always mean the most to me....
