I'll start with Seafood Chowder.
This one is from the Carlingford Arms in Carlingford, It's the best ever.
Although PJ O'Hares (Also in Carlingford) does a fantastic one aswell.

Sea bass, oily and lightly seared.
Salmon, however you prepare them but preferably raw
Geoduck clams, raw.
Razor scallops.

Contrary: what's the deal with Bouillabaisse?! I never like it and never understand its appeal, and there are better ways to use expensive ingredients like lobster.
 
Crab cakes, shrimp, Tilapia...

Dolphin pussy
 
In no order:
- Crab cakes
- boiled/ baked / fried shrimp
- Baked salmon/tilapia
- fried crab sticks/scallops
- any seafood-based soup

Well traditionally it's a poor fishman's dish with whatever he had. I go the same root when I make it. I like it because you can use some frozen seafood and it's hard to tell, plus if I've been fishing I might have some leftover the next day that I want to stretch into a meal. The first meal I made for my husband when we started dating was boulliabaise with a couple crabs I caught because I wanted something I killed myself in it.

I love grilled whole mackerel, or whole grilled herring. Gutted, maybe some sliced lemon inside, then onto a hot cast iron grilled.
 
The best single dish I had was dolphin teriyaki. The fish of that name, not Flipper.

Grilled monkfish is also great.

Whole lobster also. There's just something really satisfying about smashing the whole creature and eating every edible part of it. Take that, you crunchy cannibalistic monster.
 
Calamari is delicious.

I also detest most fish but love some grilled shark.
 
I hate swordfish

Everything else is amazing, sea urchin, abalone, sea bass, periwinkles, lobster, crab, mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
 
I'm honestly torn on this one. Lobster and scallops are definitely a personal favorite, and I'll freely gorge myself on it over the summer when its local and the price is reasonable.

Moving into fall, there's a recipe for lobster bisque and clam chowder that I got from my mother years ago that's worth dying for.

BUT, on the other hand, sushi/sashimi is always a go-to option for me.
 
I love fresh Octopus and Squid. I've tried teriyaki Squid before. Not amazing, but it wasn't horrible either.
After that I'd say it's Salmon and then Shrimp.
 
For me it's between snow crab and lobster. Snow crab is great because it has a certain sweetness to it but lobster has a better all around flavor in my opinion.
 
Had a low country boil, that shit was awesome. Shrimp, mussels, crab claws, sausage, corn, potatoes. The only problem was that me and another person got the order for two people, I think the amount of food we got could've fed about 6.
 
I typically go to a chip shop for a good bit of fish on Thursdays or Fridays. Can't go wrong with a good bit of battered fish deep fried. Ever.

Why those days?

Fishmongers usually shift and sell their freshest stuff on those days around here after they're landed the same morning in Grimsby.
 
I like shellfish, particularly shrimp and crab, and I like most types of fish, too. I don't really care for salmon, oysters, or octopus, though.

I've only had lobster once, at a tapas place. It was fried and served with a mango salsa, I really enjoyed it.
