Thread: Do you like seafood?

Do you like seafood? Do you think Brazil has good seafood?

It's not my favorite thing, but I like it. I like any food when I am hungry.

Seafood would be my number one choice. Any dishes with seafood should be allright. But again, it will depend on the price as well.

I like seafood a lot. My favourites are fish, lobstars and prawns. They are available in brazil in plenty and these are cheap.

I heard quite a number of seafood stuffs in this forum, I think the seafood there is cheaper and better than my place, I usually eat more fish compare to others not because I like the taste but due to health reasons.

ya i like seafood and my favorite seafood which i tasted in rio de jenerio is salmon fish...it was amazing

I do love seafood. I enjoy seafoods than any other food type. I most especially like the prawns. Yummy!

Which is the best city to get good fresh fish in Brasil? I am really into salmon, swordfish etc but I cant see myself eating mussels, prawns or stuff like that. I honestly feel as though I am eating worms.

I like some seafood, but I really hate sushi.

Hi GeekZ, what do you not like about sushi?
I love sushi!

I don't know what it is about sushi, but it just tastes awful!

Maybe sushi is an acquired taste. It does not taste bad to me. I like it.

No, I loved seafood long time back, but now I'm vegan! :-)
Fishing: What's Wrong With It?

I love, love seafood!

Brazil has great seafood. There are many restaurants in Brazil that offer great seafood dishes.

What do you think is the best seafod restaurant in Brazil?

I love to eat sea foods like shrimps, crabs, prawn, and fishes.

My kids love seafood especially shrimp, crabs and squid. Whenever I don't eat meat, I replace it with fish on my diet. The list will include salmon, tuna, St. Peter's fish (popularly known in our ountry sa 'tilapia'), and milkfish.

yeah milk fish and jack fruit with coconut milk....perfect combination!

milkfish and jackfruit with coconut milk?! this is the first time i have ever heard of this dish!

hhmm...why not? you should know that!...

I like seafood. But I don't know Brazil has good seafood or not. I am not eating any Brazilian seafood. I think all food is good, If the food is cooking or making well....

milkfish and jackfruit with coconut milk is the best! I love shells and crabs!

yeah! i really love seafoods! so mouth watering.. anyways, i think Brazil have tons of it since they have many beaches there.. I think they have rich natural resources that's great for sea creatures..

I love seafood! There are different types of fish and seafood eaten in Brazil It mainly depends on
what region you live in. In the west, northwest and southwest locations people in these areas
mostly eat freshwater fish taken from the Amazon Basin. People who live on the coasts eat a wider
variety of seafood and shellfish.

I love SHRIMP and CRABS with coconut milk. whew! A thought of it makes my tummy excited.. haha

Which I am eating right now. I love any food with coconut milk especially mixed with sea creatures. LOL

Yes, the Brazilian seafoods are one of the best in the world. Brazil has a very immense and rich coast, with thousands of sea species.

When in Brazil, please try oysters on the ice and lemon! A wonderful seafood indicated to our hot and sunny days! But, please, don´t forget to ask for an nice and icy beer to follow your icy oysters.

I would also ask you to try some shellfish in sauce. It is a wonderful seafood! Very well prepared by Brazilian restaurants, specialy near the beaches.

In the Brazilian cities, specially near the beaches, there are many excellent restaurants serving "Rotation Seafoods". You can eat whatever you want under a fixed price, so you can eat many kind of seafoods for a low price. Please, try it when in Brazil.

"Rotation Seafoods" in Portuguese means "Rodízio de Frutos do Mar", so please, ask for some good Rodízio de Frutos do Mar, and someone will indicate you many of them.

yeah i really like seafood like crab,lobster, big fish..and i also like the seafood pizza...

When in Brazil, please don´t forget to eat a "Tainha Grelhada". Tainha is the name of a famous and delicious fish from cold waters in the sea, and this fish can be found in the Brazilian south coast, like Rio Grande do Sul, Santa Catarina, Paraná, and São Paulo, too, in the winter.

Tainha grilled, this is the fish!!! Bon appetit...

seafood is one of my favorite food because it is good to our health ....but i really like lobster,shrimp,crabs,...thats the best food for me/

Come to Brazil and enjoy the true lobster!

Grilled or boiled, we have the best lobsters in the world! Bon appetit...

I heard about the lobster recipes in Brazil. If only I have a private jet, I would kick my self straight to Brazil.

seafood of brazil is the best..it is delicious when it is fresh...taste sweet.. yummy...

I had no idea which fish you were talking about so I did a research and found this: Flavors of Brazil: FISH OF BRAZIL - Tainha (Mullet)
It's basically the mullet! It's got the name of an old hairdo, like the one David Bowie had!!

Fish in Brazil are the best in the world I love the congrio rosa from south of Brazil!

I really love seafood! Here is one of my favorite Brazilian Seafood dishes:

Caruru de Camarão (Brazilian prawn and okra)

Ingredients:1 pound bag of fresh okra, cut into 1 inch pieces, 1/4 cup manioc meal (corn starch can also be used), 2 cups fish stock, 1 pound fresh tiger prawns, peeled and de-veined, 1 onion, finely chopped, 2 cloves of garlic, finely chopped, 3 tablespoons olive oil, salt and pepper to taste
Method: Cook the okra in boiling water for 3 minutes, drain immediately and set it aside. Stir the manioc meal into two cups of fish stock. Bring to a boil and cook, for three minutes, stirring continuously.
In a separate pan, sauté the onion and the garlic in the olive oil until soft. Add the prawns and sauté until pink. Season with salt and pepper.
Stir the stock and manioc meal into the pan with the onions and shrimp. Add the okra and stir until heated through. This dish can also be prepared with peanuts, for a richer flavour. To do this you would simply add 1 cup of ground roasted peanuts (unsalted), when adding the onion and garlic to the pan. This dish is traditionally served with boiled rice and lime wedges.

yeah..my favorite food is fresh seafood its taste so good.

Oh yes, most definitely! One popular fish that's served in many restaurants is called snook- known to local residents as robalo--is mostly found around Rio de Janeiro. Another great seafood dish to eat is bacalhau, which is cod that has been dried and then salted. Some other delicious seafood fish native to Brazil are black grouper (sirigado), kingfish and bonito. Enjoy!

yeah i really like seafood... lobster is the one..

I love to eat sea food and m,y favorite sea food is fish, lobstars and prawns.

Yes, for sure. Brazil has one of the best seafoods in the world. Brazil has a vast coast with many beaches, hot and green waters.

Try to eat Tainha Assada, Cambucu, Pescada Branca, Porquinho Assado, Salmão, etc...

I love seafood! We need it in our bodies. Seafood contains essential oils which are an important portion of your diet. Oils supply the energy source we need plus they are also great flavor enhancers.

Try a "Casquinha de Siri" when in Brazil. This is a very good seafood to eat as an appetizer with beer, etc.

Siri would be a kind of crab (small red crab), very present in the Brazilian waters, at the beaches.

Are there Sushi Bars in Brazil? Recently, I have discovered this fine appetizer and was just curious as to the popularity of it in Brazil. Wikipedia's definition of Sushi is - " is a Japanese delicacy consisting of cooked vinegared rice (shari) combined with other ingredients (neta). Neta and forms of sushi presentation vary"

I would like to share the recipe of my favorite beer appetizer, The German Beer Cheese.
Serve as a spread with crackers or rye rounds. This is very easy to make, and great for parties.

INGREDIENTS
1/2 pound Cheddar cheese
1/2 pound Swiss cheese
2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon dry mustard
1 small clove garlic, mashed
1/2 cup beer

Shred very cheeses finely. Or use meat grinder, using finest blade.

Add Worcestershire sauce, dry mustard, garlic, and enough beer to make a mixture of spreading consistency.

Turn into a 3-cup rounded bowl pack firmly. Chill. Unmold and serve at room temperature.

Makes about 3 cups

That sounds really delicious, but sticking to the topic of seafood, I would like to share this wonderful recipe I found. It's called Seared Scallops with Ginger and Green Onions. It consists of:

Hi Trisha. You also love scallops? Scallops contain a variety of nutrients that can promote your cardiovascular health, plus provide protection against colon cancer.
