Fish/shellfish
80 Answers
I mentioned this on another thread recently but no one explained the reason for their preference. The thing is that I am genuinely at a loss to understand why so many people say they won't eat fish, or indeed any seafood. In our house ( I do the cooking!) we eat all kinds of fish and shellfish. When I was a child we lived near the coast and frequently had plaice, skate, mackerel, crab, mussels, winkles, whelks and many other seafoods, all of which I eat today. Mrs R did not have these in her childhood but now loves them.
Please could somebody explain why they find such foods unpalatable? Or perhaps join me in recommending them? I really would like to know why people find, let's say, a grilled sea-bass unacceptable?

Maybe there's a clue in the last few answers. Bones.
I absolutely cannot handle fish bones in my food.
I love the taste of kippers but there's no way on earth I could eat one.
Mackerel are lovely and as long as you slide the fillet off the bone once it's cooked, they're pretty easy to deal with.
I miss out on so much lovely fish because of grit, slime and bones.
I can see why many would just avoid it altogether.

I think a lot of people are put off by the texture of many types of seafood and find it either slimy or rubbery.
I love oysters, eel, squid, octopus, cockles and mussels, but can't bear whelks just because of the texture. Also white fish can be dull but good sauces or even just a simple butter and herb sauce can transform it. I once had an ammoniated skate, which has put me off ever eating it again.
