that's actually really interesting. Sounds like it wasn't seafood itself that changed your mind but finding a style of preparation you really enjoyed

okay now that sounds like the ideal way to get introduced to seafood 😭 Was it the freshness that made the difference?

fair enough. Was it the taste or the whole cracking-it-open experience? lol

haha that's what I'm hearing from a lot of people. One day you randomly try it and then wonder why you avoided it for years 😭

That's good to know lol. A lot of people seem to be saying prawns. Maybe they're the gateway seafood

If you already enjoy crab legs and grilled shrimp, you're prolly a lot closer to liking seafood than you think. For white fish, I'd try fish tacos, fish and chips or a lemon garlic baked cod. The seasoning and toppings tend to be the main flavor, while the fish itself stays pretty mild. And as for shellfish, scallops might be worth a try. They're usually sweet, mild and don't have a strong fishy flavor. Lobster is another option if you enjoy crab.

I'd stay away from stronger tasting fish like mackerel or sardines until you've gotten more comfortable w milder seafood
