Do you ever buy live seafood?

[Locut0s]

I'm often in Chinese markets and they usually have a live seafood section. Fish, lobster, crab, shellfish etc... I'm not a seafood guy but it just occured to me that you don't often see that much live seafood in western markets.

I've heard of outliving seafood (which I regularly do), but what's byliving seafood?

 

[dainthomas]

Is this some weird Canuckistani grammar?

 

[OCGuy]

Do you ever by live seafood?

Sometimes I accidentally the whole ocean.

 

[crownjules]

It's common to buy live lobster at the grocery store up here in New England. That's usually it.

edit: Obligatory pointing out of your typo.

I live by some seafood probably. The ocean is only a few miles away, and I believe the fish are edible.

Never though.

 

[BoomerD]

No, but I'll occasionally BUY live lobster. We don't eat clams or oysters here, but you ALWAYS buy those live if they're in the shells. Once they die and the shell opens...they go bad very quickly.

I once lived by seafood.. It smelled like rotten fish.

 

[blackdogdeek]

not only do i buy it live, i eat it right in front of the vendor, shell and all.

 

[spidey07]

lobsters, clams, etc, sure.

 

[Farmer]

Damn you all with your serious responses.

No but did you know that when you throw blue crabs in the boiling water, they scream?

 

[OCGuy]

No but did you know that when you throw blue crabs in the boiling water, they scream?

The screaming only makes me more hungry.

it's ok, they scream in a foreign language so it's incomprehensible anyway.

for all i know they could be screaming "YAY!"

 

[Mr. Pedantic]

Yes.

Have you ever eaten seafood while it's still alive?

Yes.

I've cut chunks out of tuna and wahoo while they were still flopping on the boat. Does that count?

 

[Scotteq]

Yes

Yes.

Have you ever eaten seafood while it's still alive?

And Yes

How did it taste?

 

[Scotteq]

How did it taste?

When (sushi) is that fresh, it takes on an effervescent quality - almost like soda.

 

[spidey07]

How did it taste?

Like cool sushi, but a little bloodier because we didn't bleed them yet.

 

[Locut0s]

That sounds good actually.

 

[ElFenix]

Yes.

yes

 

[BurnItDwn]

Pretty much only have frozen seafood here unless we go to expensive restaurant that flies in fresh shuff, or getting live lobster from a tank...

We can get fresh "lake food" by fishing though ...if that counts...

It is quite delicious.

I've only ever had sushi that good in Japan, though.
