The only thing I eat from the ocean is Bumble Bee Prime Cut White Tuna in Water, and that I make tuna melts with. I grew up in the 50's. We never ate seafood. Couldn't afford it, so I never had it. Tried a shrimp dish at a friend's house for the first time many years later, and got sick on it, so I never touched any seafood after that.
I grew up in the 50's. The old guy who lived across the street used to go fishing, and bring home perch, sunfish and bullheads, and would give some of each to my father. Sometimes he'd clean them, and cook them, but I never ate them. Most times, he'd just thank the old man, and then toss them in the garbage, because once he got home from running a railroad work crew all day, he didn't have the time, or energy to clean the fish while they were still fresh, and my mother wasn't going to do it. She didn't like fish either.
Interesting. I also got very sick on my favorite popcorn shrimp from Red Lobster.
Ended up going to the hospital, got a shot and they sent me home. I was okay after that. Wouldn’t eat anything from the ocean for years.
Where we grew up, in the 50’s, we loved home cooked blue gills, as they were called in the North.
We use to fish in local fish tank for catfish where we are now.
YOU GUESSED IT!
God Bless Texas!
