For me lobster has little taste. Now snow crab or king crab that’s mighty good eatin. One of the best meals I ever had was a little bar/restaurant that served Fettucini Alfredo with big chunks of crab meat.

Well, anything tastes good in Alfredo!

Personally, I feel that the best way to enjoy seafood is raw. Only then can the true flavor of the animal’s flesh by discerned. Breading, sauces, etc. only overwhelm and mask the delicate flavors of fish and shellfish. In cases where cooking is necessary to make the flesh safe and/or digestible, the method used should be limited to the minimum necessary to render the food fit for table.

The reason so many people dislike the taste of fish and shellfish is that these foods must be absolutely fresh to be edible. If seafood has a “fishy” smell, it’s not fresh enough to be eaten, and unfortunately most parts of the U.S. are too far from the sea to make truly fresh seafood available at an affordable price. The best way to enjoy seafood is to not eat it unless you’re in a place where the fish/shellfish you’re eating were alive earlier in the same day — i.e. a coastal area. (Some restaurants and markets also have live seafood.)

If I can’t get fresh surf, I tend to stick to turf.
