3. I don't even consider bay scallops food

[dysfunctional press]

16. same here.

and the escargot in your pics- in the nuclear reactor-looking ramekin is the way i like best-and unfortunately the hardest to find at restaurants...i really don't need/want to deal with the re-usable shells at the table.

back in my fine-dining waitcaptain days, i used to love it when the chef had escargot at the nightly tasting, because none of the waitressi could stomach it- and i'd get pretty much the whole ramekin to myself.



mmmmmmmmm....snails...aaaaarghhh....

2. I like my octopus with extra tentacles!

Yum!

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

5. I do too - especially in my sushi

[VelmaD]

4. crawdads

or crawfish or crayfish or whatever anyone wants to call them...crawdad etouffe is proof there is a benevolent supreme being and that it loves us :)

10. Where's olives? Or tortilla chips?

What kind of poll is this, anyway?

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

11. It's one about tasty swimmy animals or ones that just sit there yummily

Waiting for me to eat them up!

12. Raw oysters on a saltine cracker with cocktail sauce and some horseradish

cannot be beat.

Escargot is a close second only if there is bread to soak up the oil and sauce from the plate.

Mussels are good if you're in Belgium. I could also go for a fried shrimp poboy.

Holy crap, I'm hungry.

13. I voted lobster, but it's a hard choice, between that and scallops and King Crab

legs drenched in butter oh yummmmm.....and fried clams too, mmmmm.....

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

17. Had fried clams last night

yum

[existentialist]

14. Now why aren't

Ants and grubs on this list.

(Some species are delicious!)

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

15. that's what the other is there for

Don't forget grasshoppers

[Katina]

18. too many to choose from

I like them all..but lobster would be my LEAST favorite.

[Maineiac]

19. Escargo

How can you go wrong with something drowning in garlic and butter?

[mainegreen]

20. Lobster followed by Conch, except for snails drenched in garlic butter w/pastry puffs

[MonkeyFunk]

21. mmmm....

I love everything on the list! But I've got a hankerin' for scallops today, so they got my vote.

22. Abalone

23. The Maryland Blue Crab.

The best part of summer!

[Kali]

24. King Crab, Lobster, Shrimp (not farmed) -

pretty much anything fried or soaking in garlic butter is good.

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

25. Calamares! (That's squid fer ya)

But fried like an onion ring? Not so much. Stewed is where it's at.

[frogcycle]

26. clams

or, rather their imitators

[MonkeyFunk]

27. The Kraken!

[Casper Alabaster]

28. Rethug for breakfast. n/t

29. snails are awesome, but the giant african land snails are the best variety

they're big and chewy!
