Seafood

Seafood has never been appetizing to me. Its a delicacy to most of the world, and good for you, too. When I went to China, I planned ahead to tell anyone who needed to know that I was allergic to seafood. I never had to use that tactic, since I don’t speak much Chinese anyway. But Hong  Kong was a little difficult to negotiate, as far as eating. Fish for breakfast. Squid for lunch. Sushi for supper. I ate a lot of rice while paying for sumptuous buffets. Now I avoid buffet restaurants on Fridays, where I’d have to pay extra for not eating half of what’s offered. I don’t cook it, either, although I have one kid who loves seafood. I just put an occasional can of sardines in her lunch. That way, I don’t have to watch her eat it.

This crab demonstrates why he wouldn’t taste good.

ICE CREAM

(Thanks, Phil!)
Two crabs were sunbathing on the beach. The girl crab suggested that the boy crab go get them an ice cream cone.

Having purchased two cones, Mr Crab made his way back to the beach, deciding on the way to eat his ice cream. By the time he had finished the ice cream, he realized that his girlfriend's had started to melt all down his claw, so he licked it up and ended up eating it too.

When he arrived back at the beach Ms Crab exclaimed "Where's my ice cream cone?

"Well", he said. "I decided to eat mine, then yours melted so I ate that too."

She was really mad and yelled "You shellfish bastard!!"

LOBSTER SPECIAL

(Thanks, Phil!)
A seafood restaurant had a sign in the window that read, "Big Lobster Tales, $5 each."

Amazed at the great value, a man stopped in and asked the waitress, "Five dollars each for lobster tails. Is that correct"?

"Yes," she said. "It's our special just for today."

"Well," he said, "They must be little lobster tails."

"No," she replied, "It's the really big lobster." 

"Big red lobster tails, $5 each"? he said, amazed. "They must be old lobster tails!" 

"No, they're definitely today's."

"Today's big red lobster tails, $5 each"? he repeated, astounded.

"Yes," she insisted.

"Well, here's my five dollars," he said. "I'll take one."

She took the money and led him to a table where she invited him to sit down. She then sat down next to him, put her hand on his shoulder, leaned over close to him and said,

"Once upon a time, there was a really big, red lobster..."

Thought for today: Why does Sea World have a seafood restaurant?? I'm halfway through my fish burger and I realize, Oh my God....I could be eating a slow learner. -Lynda Montgomery

Hi Miss C. it's nice to see your output is still as high as usual, like you I'm not into seafood which seems to amaze most people!!

LOL...I used to be a regular visitor to Red Lobster, until I established *wink snort guffaw* the International Crustacean Obedience Training Institute. It's kinda hard to eat a prospective student nowadays...

Miss C~ I'm laughing SO hard at this post. Pop over to mine and see why. Big Ernie certainly has a sense of humor!

Crabs are the only undersea creature that not only isn't afraid of man, but will go out of his way to provoke a fight.

As a diver, I can't tell you how many crabs I've had to pry off my gloves because I accidentally put my hand too close and to swim up to one is to risk having a strap yanked.

Oh no! Poor Nemo!!!

I am not a fan of seafood. I've sampled many different things (even calamari) but it just isn't my thing. I'll have an occasional taste of cod, but I'm very particular as to how I like my fish to be done, so I'd rather not eat it at all. I once went to Red Lobster to celebrate a friend's birthday and ordered a cheeseburger! I have another friend who's originally from the Phillipines, and she knows better than to make fish when I visit. It'll be lumpia and rice for me, thank you.

Oh I love seafood, I gotta have it! But, I don't think I've ever had any "smoked crab"! :)

Wow - how very odd. I saw that photo of the Guppy's sign and almost fell over! I don't live in Indian Rocks Beach but have taken vacation there nearly every year since I was twelve - and even now try to get down there at least twice a year! It's the best beach town - that no one has ever heard of!

Love, love, love your blog!
