Well, now for fishes... again, in the poll I used the most common types in the supermarket fridges of Italy.

(And I mean fishes, hence no crabs, lobsters, ostreys...)

Pretty much none I am a landlubber.

Try a tuna steak, maybe. It's very close to red meat (but you have to find extremely fresh tuna).

*yum yum*

I know not technically a fish but octopus and squid when served raw.

I don't eat anything from the sea, except if it is deboned and grilled, that is... and also lacking that fishy, sea-y taste.

The most frequent thing from the sea that I eat is tuna.

Also help that it is Sashimi grade. Either killed as it is caught (rather then allowed to die slowly in the air), or kept alive in a tank.
Helps keep the lactic acid from building up in the muscles during the fish's death throws.

I've been loving catfish recently, but really, there are very few sea creatures I don't enjoy.

Plaice, mackerel, and smoked salmon are my favourites.

Smoked salmon, tuna, swordfish, they're all great.

Lemon Sole or Dover sole = win
Salmon = also good (but not smoked!)
Cod = awesome with chips
everything else = maybe
seafood = bleurgh...

Go for trout, or carp, then.

That's why I love living just 1000 km away from Sicily (great tuna catchers over there) and 5 km away from the most important fish market of Italy.

Never tried swordfish. Always wanted to. Same with shark.

As for the poll options, I'm going to have to go with salmon. I prefer other seafood, though (i.e., crustaceans and the like).

Hmm...
I love smoked salmon and I can eat salmon steak as long as I have just pulled the fish out of the river, the same with trout.

I adore maguro (tuna) sashimi and sushi and every so often I get a craving for tuna fish sandwiches and tomato soup. I'm also a fan of cod, especially as made into fishsticks or fish and chips...

But that said, thanks to my father-in-law and a wife that hails from Yamaguchi... I now love me the fugu and look forward to my yearly fugu feast.

My two favorite forms of fish are tuna salad, and salmon steak.

well i live neither in italy, japan, nor within a hundred miles of the sea. i do love nice fishies when i can gets them. yess we do my precious.

at any rate, sad to say, i don't get to eat nearly as much as i would like to of fresh seafood, just probably a little too much of canned tuna to not really quite make up for it.

i do put a little nori in my tuna and noodles in broth, but i have to watch my sodium these days, so the broth base is usually potasium rather then sodium based.

I love swordfish, but tilapia is good too.

Fish don't have meat polls, they just spray semen all over the place.
