YUM!

I think the worst thing I ever tried to eat was a raw shrimp (I was in Japan then). An associate at the time said he swallowed one and his stomach rejected it instantly.
I like Swedish-style pickled herring, though. My mom used to make it with fresh fish, and it was great. The store-bought stuff isn’t as good.
That’s it for raw seafood.
It's also not a good survival trait.
It just isn't. When food is scarce, and vitamin pills nonexistent, being a picky eater means starving to death. I hope you're grateful that you live in a First World country with (still) a more or less free economy, in which being a picky eater DOESN'T mean starving to death.
I was sick for 3 days from some fried clams. Haven’t touched them since.
I can handle some shellfish in small amounts, like shrimp or crabcakes. I never developed a taste for lobster or any other kind of shellfish.
I stopped trying.

Why is this a hardship? You just choose a restaurant that has what you like and pick something from the menu.
The only situation I know of where you might not get to choose what’s served is if you are invited over for a meal at someone’s home or private event. And if you complain about that, then you are an ungracious a-hole.
We invite out large clan over for Thanksgiving dinner, and try to have some options for the few weirdo vegans - or they can bring a fake meat dish if they want. If one of the picky eaters ever wrote an article like this one, they would not get invited back.
The only seafood that will eat are fried class, shrimp and mussels.
Everything else completely grosses me out.
I’m actually surprised that I will eat those three things to be honest..
It is like that fat person who was whining about how hallways in hotels need to be bigger for her comfort.
Your choices are one, stay at home and have things as you like or two, travel and run into things you might not like.
There is no third choice.
Learn to live with it.
Winnie was saying he was on a seafood diet. If he sees food, he'll eat it.

Personally, I call it 'constipation'.
I’m originally from Florida I like it all.

Shouldn’t this be in Breaking News?
[...picky eating is not a good survival trait.]
I always tell my kids they’re not going to survive the apocalypse being picky.
That would have to be in the middle of Phoenix....

I never developed a taste for fish or seafood. Raised in the Midwest and it was always fishy. Been told a million times that I just need to try it like this or like that. So when I do, all I taste is that fishiness, no matter what.
Had a co-worker who stated it best for me. “Fish, no thanks, we haven’t eaten all the land animals yet.”
This guy is a baby. Whiny whiny whiny
“We invite out large clan over for Thanksgiving dinner, and try to have some options for the few weirdo vegans - or they can bring a fake meat dish if they want.”
We had a couple of vegetarians, one of whom keeps Kosher and a bunch of what I call “normal” eaters for Thanksgiving. The vegetarians brought something called a field roast. I sampled it and it seemed a bit like meat loaf. There were a few slices left which I took home for lunch later in the week. They also had onions stuffed with some sort of grains and seasonings that were quite tasty.
Right - some meatless dishes can be good - my wife just made lentil soup with carrots, onions and mushrooms - so good.
But I’m very glad to be an omnivore - I don’t ever have to worry about what’s on the menu - I’ll eat just about anything. Of course if it’s too salty, too sweet, too slimy, too bland, etc.. I don’t like it - but there are no categories of food that I avoid.
