Pretty much any seafood is great, but I'm a sucker for raw oysters. They're not always in season though, so restaurants won't always have them.

 

[Strike]

Crab and lobster are a treat, but can be a bit pricey.

 

[wollywinka]

Lobster and oysters washed down with a crisp white.

 

[SpaceCrystal]

Fish will always come first for me. You basically can't have seafood without it.

Shrimp will definitely be second.

 

[Platy]

Shrimp

but Squid/Octopus is not that far behind

 

[shinobi602]

A good plate of fried shrimp is one of the GOAT foods.

 

[Leynos]

All of them!

Well, to be honest, I've tried uni (urchin gonad,) and it wasn't to my taste. I'd gladly try it again as maybe I had a bad batch? Also, imitation crab is trash food. I can taste it when it's snuck into my meal, and it gives me migraines.

If I have to choose... raw oysters. I can pound them down like it's my job. And this despite me catching hepatitis A from raw oysters as a kid.

I love shrimp, but I try to avoid eating them as the way they are harvested is destructive.

 

[Devilgunman]

Fish. That's a reason sushi is my favorite food.

 

[gimmmick]

Nantucket bay scallops

Simply the best when in season.

 

[Doomguy Fieri]

Crab and lobster are like not at all the same thing.

Anyway, crab is the best.

 

[andymcc]

Crab and lobster, though I love fish and shrimp just about as much. I love seafood.

 

[orochi91]

I learned how to make Shrimp Biryani a while ago.

I'm invincible now.

:V

 

[Hippopuncher12]

All of it. Give it all to me.

 

[kmfdmpig]

Good scallops are absolutely a top-tier food. Scallops > Lobster > Shrimp/crab > Fish (although good sashimi is higher in my rankings) >>>> the rest

 

[Quade]

Gotta vote fish for variety, but man do i love calamari.

 

[Poppy]

dont put crab and lobster together, crab is kinda weird and i dont like it but i love lobster

anyway voted scallop

 

[smurfx]

only seafood i can ever stomach is canned tuna because it doesn't really have a fishy taste to it. just the smell of fish makes me want to gag.

 

[kris.]

The one lobster roll I had when I visited Boston trumped just about every single other piece of seafood I'd ever eaten so that.

Fuck I hate being from the midwest sometimes.

 

[unholyFarmer]

Takoyaki, I mean, squid/octopus

 

[JigglesBunny]

Crab legs are top shelf... but shrimp is so versatile and downright heavenly... but scallops though... and grilled salmon... oh fuck, and fried calamari... but then there's lobster tail...

I'm not picking. It's all so good.

 

[Satori]

Ever had escolar? Tried it for the first time a few years back at Le Bernardin in NYC and immediately pronounced it by far the tastiest fish I've ever had. Buttery and succulent out of this world. 🤤 Seems to be very hard to come by here in the states, though.

As far as more obtainable fishes, it's hard to beat fresh Copper River sockeye.

Click to shrink...

O man yes! When I was in Hawaii is when I first had some. Amazing fish lol.

 

[Qvoth]

it's a lame answer but they're far too varied to be compared imo

 

[Aprikurt]

Squid is divine when cooked right.

I remember going to a place in Spain as a kid that had HUGE Squid being fried on a grill. You could eat as much as you want. I still dream about it.

 

[echoshifting]

Gimme all that tuna. Tuna salad, ahi steak, seared sliced ahi, spicy tuna roll, sashimi...

I also like that you have to be pretty stupid to mess it up

 

[I Don't Like]

Fucking Maryland blue crab, steamed. Like one of the things I look forward to most during summer - getting some people together for a crab feast and being in the DC area there are some good options. The whole experience of cracking crab and having a bunch of sides and drinking beer is just fucking phenomenal.

Raw oysters not far behind but have to be from cold northern waters, not some gulf bullshit.

 

[Strings]

I don't like any seafood.

 

[TheeFanatic]

Shrimp all day.

Other than that is fried fish(fish tacos) and ceviche.(fish or shrimp)

 

[Speely]

Good scallops will blow your fucking mind.

 

[Shadow of the Void]

Shrimp. I can gorge myself on them. One of the highlights of the fall for me was Endless Shrimp at Red Lobster. Shrimp scampi in particular is my favorite.

I do also like fish and crab legs, though.

 

[GYODX]

I used to love shrimp, but I seem to have developed an allergic reaction to it recently. But for some reason, I can eat breaded shrimp just fine. It's bizarre...
