I didn't like fish when I was young but love it as an adult.

In the South Pacific, islanders only eat lobster as a last resort, long after running out of SPAM.
But lobster is effing delicious....

I've never found that to be so, even the really good, fresh stuff right off of the boat in Maine. It's not bad, just not that good. The flavour just doesn't do it for me except in bisque, with all of that butter and cream the flavour works well for me.

That's the only time I will eat lobster or crab. Fresh off the boat and into a pot.

They used to provide prisoners with lobster, I think in the 1600-1700s as it was a ridiculously inexpensive form of protein. They were so conflated with being disgusting that there was movement to ban the practice as cruel and unusual punishment.
I don't particularly enjoy lobster or crab. But I'll eat it if it is put in front of me.
Nope, no way. Nothing that crawls under water, swims in it or that may stick its head out of it. Thanks, but no thanks.
Kind of a phobia back from my kindergarten time: We were forced to site in front of our meal until our parents catched us up at 4pm. Cooked (boiled?) fish every friday. Really loved fish up until this point, tried it a few again but never really ate one ever since.
You're missing out. I really have been liking fish more and more as I've gotten older. I had a swordfish fillet the other day, it was served cold with a hot pepper sauce over it. Fantastic.
A local brewpub (which has top notch food) always has a great daily fish special. I almost always get it when I'm there. Often, they do an Asian style preparation, with seasonal veggies, etc. But I grew up eating fish, so I'm a sucker for a nice, pan-seared filet of fish. Or a whole, grilled or fried fish.

Well sure, because crab and lobster both already taste buttery. So do scallops (when prepared right). And yes, I can spot a piece of skate wing substituted for a scallop.

I haven't been to a fish fry in a long time. Not since living in Georgia actually.

We do the fish frys here... but I haven't been to a real one (where some folks just caught all the fish being fried) in a while. Last time I had a big batch of fish to cook, I made a curry.

My family has a fish fry at least a couple of times a year. A couple of the
old fogiesretired folks will go out and catch a good bucket or two and bring em home. -
Gonna have to buy some pacific salmon on the way home now for dinner.

If the pizza ain't from NY, it won't be as good...our water makes our pizza so amazing...one reason no one else in the country can measure up to true NY pizza.

Do you do an Italian style pizza there? Or Alsatian? Europe has such varied pizza.

Alsatian
Had to look up that word
You mean Flammkuchen. It's also great, but it will be Italian.
