I don't eat anything that lived in the water. It stems from my allergy to shellfish (not embarrassed about that) and a childhood trip to the emergency room. I just cannot bring myself to eat any kind of fish at all. I try now and then, but it just doesn't taste good to me. Embarrassing to me is that I can't get over it, but not for lack of trying. I love the really simple preparations of a nice piece of fish, lemon and wine, etc. The beauty of scallops appeals to me so much. Oh, and I'm embarrassed that organ meats disgust me. Again, not for lack of trying. However, I'm not embarrassed to think that cilantro tastes like soap, and not in a good way.
