No I Still Don’t Like Fish or Seafood – What I Wish People Understood
Landlopers ^ | 2/1/16 | Matt Long

Posted on 12/07/2023 9:38:51 AM PST by DallasBiff

As a frequent traveler, one of the biggest issues I deal with is what I eat. I am a very picky eater; a confirmed carnivore my love of vegetables is weak at best and most notably, I don’t eat any fish or seafood. My fellow Americans may wonder why I phrase it that way, but I’ll get to that in a second. The point of this post is that even after years of writing about this issue I’m still faced with certain difficulties when I travel, and since I’ve heard from many people around the world who are just like me, I thought I’d write yet another post, this one a little more direct, in order to make my life and those like me a little bit easier when we travel the world.

I love seafood, but it has to be cooked

I live in Maine and CT and hate lobster and shrimp. But am okay with raw oysters - go figure.

A finicky eater who writes about being a finicky eater. Who cares?

Get hungry enough, Matt, and you won’t be so picky. In the meantime, don’t expect the whole world to cater to your whims.

LOL. I grew up in the midwest, about as far from the ocean as possible. “Seafood” was fish-sticks in the school cafeteria

Well done and fresh sea-food is an art-form. I have taken short vacations and journeys specifically to eat seafood.

I hate broccoli.

I think I'll blog about it.

Better yet, I'll create a vlog.

Even better, I'll host a 3-hr long stream with special guests who also despise broccoli.

Well I'd better get that Patreon account set up...

He should move here to Arizona. Seafood has to be sought out here, and it is expensive. Beef, Mexican, and ethnic food from all the transplants dominate.

I could go for a Sonoran Hot Dog right now.

I am a very picky eater

I could comment on what sort of "meat" he likes to eat ...

but I'll just say that picky eating is not a good survival trait.

People will write about anything and expect someone to care.

I don’t. Any more than I expect anyone to care about my antipathy for liver.

I bet Matt likes the lettuce, tomato, and pickles (cucumber) that are on his hamburgers. All of those are vegetables.

We cook our own. Scored a bunch of tuna steaks at Winco the other day.

A Sonoran hot dog is a unique experience that is so-delicious.....

Children whose mothers indulge them excessively often grow up with such infantile palates.

Worthless waste of time discussion like this is why most “events” offer 3-4 choices, chicken, steak, fish or veggie.
