Wife invocation!

@amidanruo.bsky.social okay getting nc/sec wrong was one thing but what're we doing here

No oceans growing up :((((((((((

what is wring with nordic people smh

Scandinavians have excellent taste in seafood. Langoustines! It’s the coming to America part that fucked over their descendants.

you can't just give them that and ignore lutefisk!

Or hákarl I suppose

Look man my fish options growing up were Walleye and Lutefisk

Walleye is primo

I feel your pain, my wife won’t eat anything that came out of the ocean

In California too!!!

would happily live in the water if she could, wanted to be Ariel as a little girl, gets violently seasick on boats, can’t stand seafood she is a land of contrasts

Oh, that's a damn shame. Probably grew up with frozen fish sticks.

I mean it's a bug

At a restaurant I used to work at, one of the servers was squeamish about how they were killing them. Another server, a Canadian from one of the maritime provinces said, “Eh, why? They’re just ocean-dwelling cockroaches!”

That’s right

so no shellfish?

Only oysters

not even clams or scallops? you may need to turn in your mets cap and go root for the fighting bernankes or something in jackson hole here

Same. Love da Mets, baybee. like oysters, hate clams, lobster, shellfish of that nature

Same, but I also secretly believe that oysters are mostly a cocktail sauce delivery system and if there were a socially acceptable way to slurp up cocktail sauce as an appetizer, I’d go for it

Friend, I heartily encourage you to cowboy up, get yourself a spoon, go at it, and leave the Maine oysters to the rest of us.

🫡

cocktail sauce?????

None of this is helping Phil Plantier's campaign, you know

yes, i'm hovering up the takes here, he should denounce all of you

let me take this delicate, briny essence of the sea and put the two most overpowering flavors of all time, ketchup and horseradish, on it

No you're thinking of shrimp

LOL.

indeed

This is of a piece with my belief that potato salad is just an excuse to eat mayonnaise

This, but for mignonette. Also escargots are largely extraneous to the garlic butter.

yeah I mostly want to drink mignonette it turns out

what is wrong with you people i’m embarrassed to be part of a fandom with u

get their asses

I love lobster we just need to acknowledge it a big bug

Like oysters but not clams? What about other bivalve mollusks, like scallops or mussels?

mussels are okay. No scallops, tho

East or west coast?

i mean cooper's a smart guy, surely he knows the answer is "neither - gulf"

Gulf is correct. There's a reason we go to NOLA every couple years.
