Old habits die hard.

Seafood quenelles, smoked salmon, bouillabaisse, crawfish étouffée, barbecued shrimp...

I don't like em. But I'll be happy to take the beer-battered cod off yer hands. Or any of a number of fine sushi preparations. Excluding salmon.

I am not a big fan of cooked salmon though.

No salmon sashimi???? With some lemon and ginger??

but I just don't like it...I did once have some salmon jerky that a friend made and I could stand it but he had dried and smoked all the salmoniness right out of it so that's prolly why. Most any other sushi/sashimi is fine though.

If there is a nice teriyaki sauce or some type of sweet sauce on it, I will eat it.

I am so craving sushi right now.

Unfortunately my wife doesn't like it at all (Her idea of seafood is Red Lobster. RED LOBSTER!! Ack!) so it always gets vetoed on "where ya wanna eat?" nights. My daughter does love it though and she always takes me out for sushi on Father's day and my birthday to a place we like but it's too far for lunch right now. :/

We used to have a decent place across the street from work but it got dinged by the health department and we scared to go there now lol.


Hmmmm, I've only ever had salmon cooked and yes, that was too fishy...so you say it's better raw? I may have discounted it in my sushi adventures because of prior experience in cooked encounters. I'll think about giving it another shot next time we do go...

Then get back to me....it melts in your mouth....trust me!

I can do Red Lobster, only because it was a family thing....we'd all get together and my nephew would sit on my Dad's lap and he'd get 10 bites of crab to my Dad's one bite.

BOTH native Floridians. My mom's dad was a damn Fishing Guide in the 30s and 40s! We live within an hour of 150 places that caught fresh fish this morning. And they both love Red Lobster. Well, my mom died a few years ago but she loved them up until the end. I can at least kind of understand her - she lived in Texas for the last 40 years of her life so it was a long way to the beach for fresh seafood but my wife has no excuse. But when it's her turn to pick we go there and I grin and bear it - at least they have fried shrimp lol.

I will definitely give salmon a fair chance. Thanks for the advice!

. . . shrimp fried rice (made w/frozen shrimp)
. . . crabmeat salad (made w/Louis Kemp imitation crab)
. . . tuna salad or tuna-vegetable-pasta casserole (made w/solid pack albacore tuna)
. . . salmon loaf (made w/canned wild-caught Alaskan salmon)

Cow or pig, please.

no fish tacos?????

It seems like the subject of colonoscopy prep comes up every year about this time.
Guess it's spring cleaning.

at least the first week. Then I got tired of being in dread and decided Tomorrow-is-another-day and not think about it until the time came. Well, this morning I woke up with a PTSDlike yell.

will be my first one.

will be my only one.

I won't do it again. At least not voluntarily!

I'm not telling anyone else NOT to do it though.

But agreed on (not) doing it again. But not to discourage anybody else, all the sympathetic warnings of yuckiness from medical and anybody who's had it before were a bit overwrought: It (the day of prep) hasn't been that bad all around so far.

I tell myself it's easier and cheaper to deal with than cancer. Last time they switched me to Suprep and it was actually not that bad.

He's bringing home fish samiches for dinner.

It's gonna be sushi time in our household on Fridays. Not really a sacrifice...hmmmm...

But seriously, we eat fish a lot during the week. Love it.

is SMOKED ...and served cold with lots of LEMON! DELICIOUS! However,warm cooked salmon is too fishy for my taste.
