Whst is "approachable" seafood?

[Michael Z]

Seafood around here is a Friday night fish fry at the VFW. Quite approachable!

Octopus.
Not squid.
Remember now for sure.

Or was it squid? NO. It was indeed octopus.

Wooo. Just plain woooo.

 

[Pepper]

Wooo. Just plain woooo.

Yeah. I’m shocked too!

anchovy fillets soaked in olive oil and spread on a toast sandwich - very addictive

this is Seafood chowder which I have often at a riverside Pub/restaurant... in the next county

This is deep fried squid & prawns... which I love as well..in this picture it was my husband having it..

then there's Gambas Pil Pil.....which is a classic Spanish tapas dish of Prawns sizzling in biling Olive oil, with chillis' and garlic

this one in front of my husband ..it was a big favourite of his because he didn't eat meat of any type

This is the seafood department of Mercadona Supermarket in Spain... where they sell fish of all types.. i wish we sold it in our supermarkets but we don't. You can see the octopus here... not expensive to buy either.. and super fresh

..and her this is a very common sight on some beaches in Spain... the drying out of freshly caught Squid and Octopus...

If the seafood was approachable, it was probably 'accessible' too, lol (another snobby word used in reviews).

My philosophy is that it is not moving, I will try anything. Below is lunch in Lima

Strangely, years ago, I could eat all shell fish. In the early part of this century, I suddenly am highly sensitive to shrimp/prawns. All others, I am still fine with.

Recently, I read an article in my New England Journal of Medicine that a study has been under way for quite sometime about various allergies and chemical sensitivities. I have long known that I am highly allergic to Morphine and red wine. I had morphine post operatively for pain, some years ago, and went into respiratory crisis. Red wine does the same to me. I simply cannot breathe.

Now, here's the kicker, evidently there is a chemical in all 3 I've mentioned that causes this reaction. I was totally stunned, as whoever would have thought there would be a connection between them?

I got a salad in a wharf restaurant in Santa Cruze that had a good-sized breaded-and-deep-fat-fried octopus poised on top, eyes and all. It was really good.

I can remember when my grandpa would get "blind robins" to eat. They're little salt-cured herrings in a plastic sleeve, heads, fins, bones and all. For some reason, I liked them, too. Not usually something a kid would eat.

I had a baby Octi tentacle wrap around the tip of my finger when I picked it to see what is was in my salad.
I guess the oil salad dressing made it stick. Would you consider that approachable?
Nope did not eat that salad

Well, there's always "Joe's Bait Shop and Sushi Bar" where "Today's Plate is Tomorrow's Bait".

Escargo sauce is wonderful. Why don't we just experiment with it on lots of things. Shrimp fondue?

Tempura calamari is delicious, I tried making it onetime, cooking is better left to the pros, my attempt went in the trash and I picked up a fast food burger to soothe my wounded psyche.

I find a lot of things are best to go out and eat rather than try to cook at home.

Approachable seafood" refers to
dishes, fish, and shellfish that are accessible to beginners, picky eaters, or those who dislike strong "fishy" flavors. It is characterized by mild tastes, familiar textures (often firm or flaky), and preparations that disguise the "oceanic" nature of the food, such as frying, breading, or mixing into pasta.

Here, I just thought it was exceptionally social seafood.
