Do you eat seafood?

Okay I just replied to the reef addict thread and shared that you might be a reef addict if you can't eat seafood. I was just curious if I was the only one... ever since I started the hobby, I can not eat seafood anymore. What about you?

No, I won't either. My son caught a trout this past weekend. Knowing that I love fish and spend most of my time caring for my own or other's, he brought this fish into the house. He used a salt bucket that I had. The fish was curled around, scared, his gills were going rapidly. Him and his friend planned to kill it. I had a problem with it. I told them to take it outside, do what they must, and don't show it to me. I made them take the tin foil with them too. I knew they were going trout fishing, and people eat fish, but he didn't have to bring it in for me to see. The fish was so scared. Poor fishy

I'm always down for some good sushi, but only if I don't have to sit in front of a tank and stare at my potential meal while I wait for it to arrive.

He ate one on his show! I knew they ate them in some parts of the world. I have watched his show a few times and always found it extremely disgusting, yet somewhat fascinating, but haven't seen that episode. Poor Mantis

P.S.
I must say, I LOVE seafood, shrimp, crab, lobster, scallops, and the list could go on. Like GRabbit said, I just don't look at my tank before I go and eat their relatives. And besides, most of the stuff we keep in our tanks, you don't eat at a regular seafood restaurant anyways.

I love all kinds of seafood!!! I used to catch/clean/cook/eat it, but unfortunately I haven't gone fishing in years. Having fish as *pets* is completely different than having seafood for dinner

I agree with SpiderWoman here. There is a big difference between an aquarium fish and a "dinner" fish so it doesn't matter to me. I don't really understand how owning an aquarium could turn you away from eating seafood, as they are completely different fish, from completely different parts of the ocean (in most cases).

I like seafood, and have long loved sushi, much longer than I've been a swf hobbyist. In fact, it was a big part of my life for a long time; I'd go with friends every week. I don't go fishing anymore because I don't personally want to kill my own food, and I've tried going vegan a few times because I don't really want others to do it for me either, but I just can't seem to kick the meat. Even if I did, sushi would still be on the menu, it's just something I can't give up.
