Seems to me, in common parlance, seafood does not refer to fish,
although technically, it should.

Exactly!!! "I LOVE DOGS, but I'm allergic". Okay, why don't you just
admit they're too much trouble. Everyone these days is a whiny,
pathetic pain in the ass <cough> Julie Bove <cough>. Remember when we
just lived our lives and if something didn't appeal we just didn't eat
it without a GRAND ANNOUNCEMENT. Nobody cares. Hey Bovine, if you
don't like something, feel free to just not post on that topic. Is
that really so complicated? And Stormee - really, the "legally
blind" (ie. NOT blind) thing does not excuse top posting and replying
dozens of times. Knock it off, ****.

Now, on the original topic - this sounds like the type of people who
want to do "maximum damage" at an all you can eat buffet. Don't eat
salad because it doesn't cost as much. But don't you like salad?
****ing hill jacks.

And when have you ever heard of someone who was allergic to freshwater
fish but was okay with seafood? I mean someone who is normal <Julie

Please read all you want. Just spare us the comments. Not every post
requires your input. Nobody cares what you're allergic to or what you
don't like.

Please read all you want. Just spare us the comments. Not every post
requires your input. Nobody cares what you're allergic to or what you
don't like.

Actually some people care. Some people have even sent me recipes. You
don't care. And I don't care that you don't care. You feel that you can
comment on anything you want. And yet you think you can tell others where
they can and can not reply. That's wrong!

I seem to recall a lot of urban legends. Skate would cost more than
scallops much like ordering a duck and getting a bald eagle.

Eagle meat is supposed to taste nasty. Might as well eat seagulls.
I'd far rather have farm raised, grain fed duck. You are a dumbass.
Skate is far cheaper than real scallops, and I wouldn't eat it unless
I was desperate.

I once went duck hunting and shot one that I later knew had been eating
sea fish. It was quite inedible.

Wild duck tastes awful, period.

All you need is love. But a little chocolate now and then doesn't hurt.
