Maybe you just haven't had really fresh seafood. Right from the ocean tastes a lot better than what they sell in the stores.

i think your right Zelda - she does live 1000 miles from the ocean - that would explain a lot.
Man you guys should come over christmas eve - its seafood heaven at my house - and yes, I even make stuffed clams - ( but I take all of the yuky tummy parts out )
I chop the meat really well and add lots of good seasoning and pop them in the oven -
oh gosh.....just made myself hungry again.........

I am with you Jerry. In Sicily, they knew how to cook the seafood. Now the pizza.... well it just absolutely sucked there. My favorite meal there was fungi grande... a portabella mushroom seasoned and grilled like a steak. Awesome!

just made that yesterday - my sons favorite!!
marinated in balsamic, olive oil, garlic and lemon juice - we ate 12 huge shrooms - between the 4 of us + homemade red (italian style ) potato salad - it was amazing!

The people in the midwest don't know what fresh seafood tastes like, Mary. In Georgia, they served us fresh shrimp, and a guy from Chicago thought that it tasted funny and had gone bad. I had to explain to him that it tasted like that, because it was fresh.

I know what fresh shrimp taste like!!! My grandpa was always trying to get me to try crawdads....blech!!!

No vegetarian anything Jerry! Meat meat and more meat!!! And fish, and pork and chicken and..............

Yes Jojo, I've had calamari and I wasn't wild about it.

what a shame, if you ever were to try some of mine you would change your mind - very few places make it right.

Where I lived once my roommate went out on a lobster boat and came back with bags of lobsters. Boy what that good eating for us for a while. It was his first trip and you got paid in lobster since you were a new crew member. Fresh lobster and lots of it!

Fresh littleneck clams. Get a pot of water boiling, toss the clams into the boiling water. When the shell pops open, they are ready to eat. Melt lots of butter, take a clam out of the shell, dip it into the butter and yummmmy.

I love those! The only thing I couldn't take when we went digging for oysters and the men ate them raw!! Ugh- I still feel sick thinking about it.
