   The only tasty shellfish is crab, the others are just vehicles for consuming sauce or melted butter.

     @Hoss you're marinating your shrimp right?
     also crawfish are good

     @Hoss they tend to be smaller, which despite meaning cheaper in shrimp i think is better. concentrates flavor
     also shellfish of all types should be marinated 20 minutes in alkali water to buffer them from overcooking imo. does wonders

     I think the smaller = more flavorful thing holds true for all shellfish, now that I think about it. The only really flavorful shrimp I've ever had were the ones I caught wild with a net on a Hilton Head beach. Really tiny things when you cook 'em, like the size of those freeze dried ones in shrimp ramen. Absolutely bursting with flavor though.

     @Hoss I mean, yeah.
     
     The first time I had clams I bit into the shell to see if I could get flavor off of it. Fuck it at this point.

     People love oysters but I've never really understood it. The flavor is pretty mild, but it has the texture of a booger.

     @Hoss are those critters in a shell? I thought they were but I don’t know what they look like anymore now that I try to imagine them. they have a lot of meat to them and you actually cook it like a real meat instead of just another critter getting boiled with butter

     @Turdicus @Hoss Scallops are these bad boys. Basically the classic "sea shell." They are basically little chunks of meat that you can do a lot with, but the most common thing is to cook them in a similar way you would a steak in a pan. Sear em with a bit of oil or butter, add herbs for extra flavor and that's basically it. I think they behave a lot like shrimp when it comes to cooking and as such can be used in a lot of dishes as a replacement for shrimp or even along with shrimp.

     Something I didn't know until a few years ago is that scallops actually swim just like on SpongeBob.

     Shellfish don't have much mercury because they're low on the food chain. It's the higher order predators that the mercury accumulates within.

     @Tadg_macNuadat @Hoss uhh? usually i pour a bit of lemon juice or vinegar on them, if you're pouring mercury on them that's on you
