I'm hungry.

I love all seafood, particularly shrimp and crab and lobster. Apparently the stuff we get here isn't nearly as good as what you get on the coast (being that I'm nowhere near an ocean). A couple newfies that have served me in grocery stores waste no time in telling me that the lobster I'm buying is total garbage compared to what they get back home.

I was in Maine last year and live lobster was cheaper per pound than ground beef.

Sea food is good food.

You should all have a red seafood chowder. Tomato based with fish, shrimp, scallops, clams, and mussels. Throw some onions and potatoes in there and a bunch of freshly ground pepper, fuuuuuuck.

E: don't do squid or octopus though it'll overcook and be rubbery af

People mistake Maine lobster as being higher quality than other eastern seaboard lobsters. They aren't, they're the same as any other lobster from anywhere else on the coast. People say "Oh they just taste so much fresher" but that's bullshit too, as long as they're alive right before you cook them they're about as fresh as you can get.

What makes them so much better in Maine is that you can afford to eat lobster until you're loving sick of it. You can spend $30 and feed 2 people nothing but lobster meat for dinner and not even bother with side dishes.

I always think it's funny when people go to restaurants in touristy areas in Maine and order lobster; you could have had it at home for that price. Go off the beaten path a bit and pay what the locals pay, that's the champ way. Don't do it the chump way and pay $25 for a friggin lobster roll on a wonderbread bun with a handful of fries.

Also: fried wholebelly clams. Those are the best things.

If your chowder has only clams in it you're short changing yourself. Stick a bunch fish and shrimp and scallops and poo poo in there too.

Yes, very much so. Also they sell all of the hugest lobsters to tourists for stupid money, but that's a chump move. The meat isn't as good, and you generally pay more for it. 1-1.5 lbs per bug is what you want.

Manhattan should not be considered a chowder, but a delicious tomato-clam stew. Homemade Manhattan clam chowder with razor clams you dug yourself is wonderful. :colbert:

Going to Nova Scotia soon you better believe I'll be eating seafood. I had the best goddamn chowder when I was there last time and I will attempt to top that.
A fresh Digby scallop is a beautiful thing.

That's a myth, bigger lobsters are just more prone to overcooking.

Honestly I don't give much of a poo poo what you call a given soup. I just don't like really creamy soups so I generally prefer the the red tomato based varieties when it comes to seafood.

Even with non-seafood soups I prefer ones based around a good stock rather than some creamy bullshit.

I'll take your word for that, but I maintain that buying lobsters over two pounds apiece is a chump move to fleece people who don't know better.

also everyone knows the best sea food is sardines if u dont believe me ask all the cool duders in the sardines thread (who may or may not all be 40 year old dads that eat sardines over the sink like our lord Sardinephomet intended (praised be the holy sardines))

Any food eaten over the sink gets 1000 times better. Be it sardines, sprats, herring, or mackerel. Pickled or not. The best fish is eaten out of a can or jar and over the sink.

The richies can eat all the fresh fish they want. We plebs are happy with the canned stuff.

I can get behind people enjoying canned fish man but trying to claim that it's the best form of fish eating is pretty laughable. Like I'd be willing to bet that fresh sardines that you grilled with some great seasonings will beat the poo poo out of anything out of a can, even if the canned fish is good.

You do not need to be rich to catch a fish, cook that fish, and eat that fish. You do not have to spend $20+/lb on halibut fillets at the store; most fish is cheaper than beef. It is foolish and wrong to think that you have to be rich to eat fresh seafood.

... and this is coming from a goon with an entire cabinet full of canned fish, come on now.
