    Default Shellfish - overrated nonsence

    ate more shellfish when I was in france the other week than I'd eaten in my life.

    people rave about it but I really can't see the real attraction..

    ordered some Bulots in a gamble on the menu to be delivered a starter of 12 bloody whelks.. the missus thought it hilarious.. I wasn't going to let ther get the better of me so I scoffed them.. fortunately they came with a spicy garlic mayonaise to help them gan down..

    why do people pay top dollar for stuff liek this..

    Try removing the shells, next time, and get back to us with your findings

    cos its lush..me and the wife worked our way through a mountain of shrimp, oysters and crayfish when we were in Texas

    actually if it ran, walked, swam or flew I probably ate it when we were there,

    and maybe even some crawling things as the crab was awesome as well

    Depends on what you're after. I like most shellfish except oysters and, to a lesser extent crab and lobster (nice as they are, there's too much effort for the reward). Tend to prefer crustaceans to molluscs.

    I'd much rather have top quality fish than top quality red meat.
