Love a good lobster roll too. But give me a fried clam and scallop plate, with a tall G&T by the water any day. I used to go to Yankee lobster all the time by Harpoon Brewery back before it became a circus on the seaport and I loved their scallop and clam plate. Place is great because the boats come right to their dock in the back. Fresh stuff. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enjoy it though to those that like it If you don't care for it fine but hopefully you've tried it again after choking down that blown out catfish.

codfishsnowman Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 Best codfish I ate were the red/gold ones that I caught in the spring or fall on the East Grounds just east of Block Island in 45 to 60 feet of water. These fat football shaped gadids from 5 to 15 lbs fed mostly on crabs lobsters and small choggies. The flesh is sweet. I preferred baking the fillets with a Ritz cracker crumb topping. The topping was crushed sleeve or 2 of Ritz or Club crackers in a pan on low with a stick of 2 of butter. The zest and juice of a lemon or 2, a splash of chardonnay and s/p to taste. So good! Any codfish I ate were always bled and put in a saltwater slush immediately upon capture. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoarfrostHubb Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 I didn’t discover sushi until about 10 years ago. Give me a tray of that, or some well done RI calamari. I’m not a huge fan of lobster. I prefer shrimp Not into salmon but I love haddock or cod or mahi mahi. Freshwater fish is also not high on my list Ive had octopus a few times but won’t eat it anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eduggs Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 I think some people dislike seafood because they had a bad experience with fishy tasting and smelling fish as a child. Mild, flaky fish like Cod, Sole, and maybe Trout as well as scallops are a much more pleasant early introduction to the world of seafood IMO.

dendrite Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 I’ll eat just about anything if it’s high quality and prepared well. The only things left I want to try are sea urchin and conch. I wish I ate oysters more, but shucking them is a biatch. They’ll probably be dirt cheap next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoastalWx Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 @amarshall has a great distribution of fresh seafood during these times. I’ve gotten cod fillets and day boat scallops that were amazing. I’ll pay a few extra bucks for fresh stuff from local people. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Half the time it’s the mere smell of it, others is the appearance, it looks nauseating, and the times I tried it, I did not like three taste or texture. Same with me and my wife. Oddly enough though our son loves all kinds of seafood. He’s like his grandparents in that respect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

40westwx Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 4 hours ago, WhitinsvilleWX said: The early rapid tests could pop a false positive due to cross reactivity with other similar coronavirus’. The newer one is pretty specific. My opinion is that if you are positive on the rapid test, there’s enough virus to have symptoms and be contagious. The estimate to test every person 3 times a week with the rapid test would cost 7 billion a week. That 200 billion for 6 months. That’s peanuts compared to what we spent and will spend on Covid relief money. Like I posted before, companies are just following state guidelines. The state says you have to have a PCR test in order to not quarantine for 2 weeks. WOW the corona virus is a cash cow.. I think they are expediting the vaccines because they are scared people will get bored and it will just go away.. I am also thinking the majority of people in the northeast have already been inoculated.. so they gotta do a big push for testing and vaccine to squeeze out a couple trillion more dollars on this one.. you know.. get when the gettins still good 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raw oysters with a bit of horseradish and cocktail sauce are great. I went to Matuneck over the summer and had a dozen. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
