What’s your favorite type of seafood?

I'm skipping the poll because I don't have just one fave. I love shrimp, oysters, clams, crab, lobster, and many kinds of fish. Love seafood. Will take portions from all seafood haters.
they're freshwater, aren't they? But my favorite crustaceans, yes. Slightly edging out all else.
When I used to live in Spain, fried whitebait (Boquerones Fritos) was my absolute fave. Had to crunch down on the bones in the larger ones so you didn't choke.
Canned tunna i guess. I don't really eat seafood except for in sushi which... i can't really tell what fish is what to be honest.
Pretty much everything, but I had really good lobster tail for the first time the other day and it was a revelation.
1. Fish
2. Shrimp
3. Oysters
Love Fried Oyster Po'Boys. Thankfully there's a great place nearby that serves 'em.

They are, but I feel like cuisine-wise "seafood" has become more of a catch-all term for "things that live in water".
oysters are incredible both raw and fried, but there are so many different kinds of fish it's hard not to go with fish
best kinds of shrimp are shrimp cocktail and shumai. otherwise I'm kind of not a fan
grilled octopus is incredible but very few restaurants do it well

Fish. I used to eat prawns but one night many years ago I was really sick and prawns were a thing I'd eaten recently, so it put me off them.
I also cannot stand jellied eels.

If we're talking the classic "seafood basket" style, scallops are the best but I almost never have them anymore. Expensive!
Fish comes in so many different forms (whitefish/haddock/scrod/cod/pollock, tuna, swordfish, salmon, all the kinds that appear in sushi, etc.) it's hard not to put that at the top overall. But, when I voted I was thinking more of the seaside shop style; the platters served with cole slaw and tartar sauce. In that context, I just have a massive soft spot for scallops.

then by all means, LET'S TALK ABOUT CRAWFISH, FRIENDS
IT IS A DELIGHT
I love all seafood but my fave has to be any kind of shellfish, especially lobster and crab. I fuckin hate how I can't easily get lobster rolls at my local grocery store down here in South Florida despite them selling lobster.
"Fish" as a general category is too broad. There are some fish that I love and could eat all the time and there are fish that I just do not enjoy.
Shrimp was my choice simply based upon the nature of shrimp being so versatile!

Lobster. I'd eat it every day if I could afford it.
Fresh oysters are a close second. I like it all though.

Specific types for me are salmon and mackerel. Cannot get enough of either. Any type of salmon is fantastic. Wild, farmed, tinned or smoked. Same for mackerel. The tinned stuff in tomato sauce is good enough to be eaten as-is.
Cheap fish fingers, too. Yum!

1.) Puerto Nuevo style lobster ; fresh local lobster cut in half and fried in bacon lard. Served with fresh flour tortillas, pico, frijoles, and ice cold cerveza. Best meal on the planet.
2.) Hilsha fish in a mustard sauce in Bangladesh or West Bengal ; local river fish prepared in local mustard seeds and sauce. Bonus points if you ge the egg!
