Poor Nemo's ! How many on here eat seafood?

I love seafood and usually eat it at least 4 times a week I eat it all nothing I wont touch I even eat sushi. I'd have to say my favorite seafood is that which we cook hear at our house I like to take a huge pot used for crawfish boils and use it for shrimp, king crab, potatoes, artichokes, and corn boils.

Can't get enough sushi. I try to be vegetarian...but I always end up at the darn sushi bar at least twice a month, if not more. They have a lunch special here 9.99 all you can eat sushi, with a drink....man I am I suppose to resist that

Man you guys are making me hungry

I love seafood! Never acquired the taste for sushi though…

I like my animals better when they are alive and have personalities. But I've gotta admit, shrimp w/ a little cocktail sauce sure is good once or twice a year.

I used to live in Silicon Valley and one of my friends was a curator at the Monterey Aquarium. He is a marine biologist. Monterey aquarium does something very cool, it publishes a little foldup wallet card that lists the majority of seafood and whether it is on the green, yellow, or red list....all based upon species preservation, fishing methods, and other ecological minded criteria. I was sure glad when Orange Roughy went from yellow to green.

and I was drastically wrong about the Orange Roughy, must have been the seabass I was thinking about. Sorry, please do not think it is ok to eat orange roughy!!!!

aw man. now that list is gonna make me give up seafood--bout the only think on the 'best choices' list I really like is alaskan salmon--but who can afford to eat that regularly. (thank goodness my boyfriend's from alaska and his parents ship us salmon with some regularity )

It's funny,but now that I have the saltwater tank set up in my living room,I feel funny when I eat seafood in front of it..am I wierd,or does anyone else feel this way?
It's like the everyone loves raymond show where frank gets the tank and they eat in front of it and everything but whisper about eating the fish... haha....
Okay, I don't eat fish. Personally, I find it hard to do so with all the problems in the ocean today. (Please don't think I'm being forceful, i just want to explain...) I feel that we should eat animals that have fair game in a way. I don't think the ocean animals get a chance to protect themselves at all. I mean, sure if people went down there and wrestled an octopus with an arrow head i guess i'll let that one fly but, we're taking away life too. And i just can't find myself to hurt one of the most innocent, beautiful and dangered places around.
By no means this is because of my fishtanks though... but even if i did eat seafood i doubt i would eat anything that lies in my aquariums.

Rickster, cool link! That's a cool resource, glad you posted it. Man, I shouldn't have re-read this thread, now I'm hungry for sushi again....

Dangit! No more caviar for me...I feel guilty now because I love orange roughy. I guess it's back to the local catfish for now, but I'm not giving up the crab legs and shrimp....cool link though. And I don't eat seafood in front of my tank either, just seems wierd.
