Majority of us mid west folks don't really like eating seafood, we don't like the fishiness flavor from the seafood. However the people from the west coast and east coast are huge seafood eaters. Regions of where we grow up can impact the food we like and don't like. As mid west folks we are known for the crops, and cattle, therefore we are big meat eaters rather than seafood eaters. The east coast and west coast are by the oceans so they rather like seafood. I lived in Maryland for about two years when I was a toddler and I remembered how the people their love crab cakes. You can find crab cakes just about every restaurant you go too. I don't like crab cakes, you can't really taste the crab but I just don't like the taste of it. I love certain kinds of seafood, but only when theirs lemon provided for me, I like my seafood with lemon juice. I am okay with the typical seafood like shrimp, lobster, fish, clams, oysters, mussels, scallops and snow crab legs. Other types are just too extreme for me like squid, and crayfish. Squid has like a texture of a rubber band, it's really chewy and hard to swallow.
Their are certain types of fish that I like, sea bass, salmon, and mahi mahi. Preparing fish is really important especially when you don't want to end up tasting the fishiness of the fish. Most common ways fishes are cooked are grilling it or baking it with lots of lemon on it. The sea bass is my favorite type of fish. It's really tender and flaky, and you can barely taste the fishiness. Fish are a great source of omega 3 and provides protein in your diet. If you're not a big fish lover I would suggest mixing it up with other types of food, for example my mom makes these fish tacos that even my friends who are not fish eaters crave them. For those of you who love seafood like I love seafood, you will love Red Lobsters, they are known for their seafood and of course their lobster. They had an endless shrimp month, all you can eat shrimp for $14.00. They had garlic shrimp, shrimp scampi, shrimp pasta, grilled shrimp, coconut shrimp and more. It definitely filled my appetite for shrimp. The fried clams their are also really good, it doesn't taste like clams at all, it just melts in your mouth. I love their seafood pasta and their seafood pot pie, both very amazing and very delicious. The seafood pasta comes with scallops, lobster and baby shrimp with a lemony garlic sauce. The seafood pot pie is a regular pot pie, but instead of the chicken it's seafood. If you love lobster, they have live lobsters that you can choose and they prepare the one you chose and cook it for you. You get the whole lobster as well as a side with it. That definitely will make you sea food more differently.
