In the South Pacific, islanders only eat lobster as a last resort, long after running out of SPAM.

They used to provide prisoners with lobster, I think in the 1600-1700s as it was a ridiculously inexpensive form of protein. They were so conflated with being disgusting that there was movement to ban the practice as cruel and unusual punishment.
I don't particularly enjoy lobster or crab. But I'll eat it if it is put in front of me.
Nope, no way. Nothing that crawls under water, swims in it or that may stick its head out of it. Thanks, but no thanks.
Kind of a phobia back from my kindergarten time: We were forced to sit in front of our meal until our parents catched us up at 4pm. Cooked (boiled?) fish every friday. Really loved fish up until this point, tried it a few again but never really ate one ever since.

Now a craw-fry I could do all day. Something about the seasoning is fantastic.

You're missing out. I really have been liking fish more and more as I've gotten older. I had a swordfish fillet the other day, it was served cold with a hot pepper sauce over it. Fantastic.

I'm trying it every once in a while, my wife loves fish. But just the smell of it is causing ... what was the word I've learned just a few weeks ago (thanks to @MattSpeller or @RojoLoco as far as I remember)? Puking?
I'm really not phobic about anything but this.

I just had a great Caesar salad variation - add: feta cheese, grilled portobello strips, roasted red peppers, cucumbers, and grilled chicken. Awww yeah.

I didn't like fish when I was young but love it as an adult.

I've never found that to be so, even the really good, fresh stuff right off of the boat in Maine. It's not bad, just not that good. The flavour just doesn't do it for me except in bisque, with all of that butter and cream the flavour works well for me.

That's the only time I will eat lobster or crab. Fresh off the boat and into a pot.

A local brewpub (which has top notch food) always has a great daily fish special. I almost always get it when I'm there. Often, they do an Asian style preparation, with seasonal veggies, etc. But I grew up eating fish, so I'm a sucker for a nice, pan-seared filet of fish. Or a whole, grilled or fried fish.

Well sure, because crab and lobster both already taste buttery. So do scallops (when prepared right). And yes, I can spot a piece of skate wing substituted for a scallop.

I haven't been to a fish fry in a long time. Not since living in Georgia actually.

We do the fish frys here... but I haven't been to a real one (where some folks just caught all the fish being fried) in a while. Last time I had a big batch of fish to cook, I made a curry.

My family has a fish fry at least a couple of times a year. A couple of the
old fogiesretired folks will go out and catch a good bucket or two and bring em home. -
Gonna have to buy some pacific salmon on the way home now for dinner.
