slo’s FRIDAY 3/22 poll - Seafood Tacos 🌮

[MIGrandma]

Never had shrimp or fish tacos. I love seafood but just the thought of seafood dressed as a taco… nope.

 

[Moliphino]

I'm another who doesn't eat seafood. Love tacos, but not with seafood.

 

[LoveDaisy]

It is interesting to me how many people don’t eat seafood. I had no idea so many people don’t eat it. Maybe a future poll topic.

Edit: I’m curious if it’s geographical.

Soft shell fish/shrimp tacos only. Or burritos.

 

[mjkacmom]

I make shrimp tacos at home, sometimes chicken. I’m not a fan of ground beef tacos.

 

[mumto3girls]

Love them both! I mostly get them out, because the some other members of my family are not fans, but occasionally make them at home.

 

[firefly_ris]

Yes. I like beef and pork tacos too but if the option is there seafood first.

Shrimp tacos tonight at my sister in law's house!

 

[NYCgrrl]

I eat little meat in general. I like shrimp, fish, and scallop tacos. I’d probably eat other seafood tacos if it was an option.

How about adding some mussels or clams?

I love shrimp tacos but only like battered fish tacos

 

[LuvOrlando]

Love tacos, fish tacos are wonderful and I tried one a day throughout Florida last month. Today I'm making shrimp tacos, they are easy with a mix to help season the shrimp.

Saute defrosted shrimp in fresh garlic and oil along with 1/4 to 1/2 a packet of the McKormick seasoning, Baja Citrus or Mojito Lime but I like the Citrus better.
Soft taco shell so a soft burrito, we like the small ones also called street taco.
we like shredded lettuce or cabbage.
A spritz of fresh lime
Drizzle some sour cream and sriracha cream sauce on top

I do not like seafood. But love most other types of tacos.

Where's the I LOVE seafood tacos choice?

I do make shrimp tacos at home. I recently bought some crunchy codfish bites, and they're really good in tacos. I like controlling the toppings and tortilla options.

I like them in restaurants as well -- a lot of time whether I order them is the calorie count - fish tacos still tend to be high in calories.

 

[AppleDumpling]

Love fish tacos and shrimp tacos. Don’t make them at home, but have them fairly often when eating out.

 

[hertamaniac]

I like shrimp tacos provided they are L to XL and are charbroiled. I prefer them in a soft shell.

It's rare when I order them (and don't make them), but we have a plethora of Mexican eateries where I live and they (fish/shrimp tacos) seem to be very popular.

I make my own seasoning, and I’ve found I can bake the shrimp on foil for an easy cleanup. I make an avocado cream and cilantro lime slaw to top them.

I have an avocado and this is tonight's dinner, care to share the recipe? More goodness will not ruin it

I would love to try a home made spice combo that isn't drab, I try to keep my salt very low and the mixes are not that.

 

[jalapeno_pretzel]

I love seafood tacos, shrimp or fish.

I never understood why fish, shrimp, crab, etc. aren't considered meat to some. It's the flesh of an animal. If it's not meat, what is it?

 

[tvguy]

I like shrimp tacos, and I have had fried fish tacos, but prefer ground beef. Not a fan of chicken, but I will eat them.

Yeah - its an odd thing IMO.
For some its less the meat thing and more the texture.
Some I guess look at fish as less evolved than cows and pigs.

I know people that for the most part don't eat meat - but chicken\turkey is ok - again texture.
The same people don't eat pork (roast) - but eat Bacon.

For many its more just personal preference.

I had one very good friend who said he did not eat ham for religious reasons.
But then Id go out with him and he would eat bacon and shellfish - oh and bacon wrapped shellfish.
He just did not like ham so he told people it was for religious reasons so they would not go further with it.

It may be geographic. Most fish tacos are made with cod or shrimp and they might be expensive ingredients in places far from the sea.
But it is interesting given how much healthier seafood is. American Heart Association recommends two seafood meals a week.
