Let's Get Exotic

Ok, so I don't know how many sushi fans (or just seafood in general...I mean real SEAfood) are out there, but most should know that fish is some of the best damn protein you can eat. However, some people are freaked out by what is some of the best protein in the world!
Octopus, squid, clams, or muscles...the last two should be dining staples, but the first two a lot of people may not dig on too much even though they kick chicken's ass on almost every level.
I can eat the shit out of octopus or squid as sushi or any other way, but many can't, or won't.
What are your thoughts on these two power houses of protein and how are good ways to eat them...even for those who may not normally care for them? (Ideas on clams and muscles welcome as well!)

I've never had Asian hairy clam before. Sad... I know. FML
Visit my neck of the woods (Thailand) and you'll fix that real quick! Careful though...you're usually hungry again a half hour later ;-)
Classic moules mariniere. White wine, cream, garlic, parsley, mussels. Simple but when done correctly it's one of the best dishes around.
Octopus needs very little, cook high heat and quickly with soy sauce.
Sushi I could live on the stuff. Absolutely love it but it's all down to the quality / freshness of the fish.
I'm now hungry and I have no mussels, octopus or sushi in the fridge :(
AnonI'm not big on seafood.... But I had something like this with some Reisling and it was good
Whos down for some raw oysters on the half shell !!
RustyhookerPick me!!! Or bbq oysters. Toss lil bbq sauce on em when they open up.
Lets go the first dozen is on me
Gumbo with chicken, crab, clams, lobster tail, shrimp, boudin sausage, and :::drumroll::: fried crab cake hush puppies on a bed of dirty rice. Mmmmmm.
Somebody grew up in da bayou
RustyhookerHandsized mussles. Quarter bottle of red wine into steamer pot. Garlic to flavor. Steam n serve. I use regular boil pot and make wine 1/4 inch deep. When they're open....eat
Goddam...you're one of those f'ers that writes the descriptions for menus? Cause that was basic as hell but I would have ordered the fuck out of it!
RustyhookerIts tasty! You can add a ton to it as well. My gumbo....thats a mouth watering deal. All the different shellfish, cuts of fish and spicy sausage. Tomato base with oregano, garlic, salt and pepper. Can add different spices as well. Makes a mix of sweetness with the bam of the sausage.
ManimalKingDude I'm Italian and I grew up on the east coast on an island. Lol if it swims I eat it!!!!
I grew up eating mostly fish, crabs, clams, squid, octopus, muscles, oysters and crawfish.
Chicken beef pork and "land animals" I guess have always been second in my diet until I got married and my wife started cooking mostly chicken.
I love sushi as well. Seafood is very very lean and has a superior flavour imo, I always prefer it personally. But chicken is cheaper. Unless you can catch what you eat;)
Good point with the cost thing...where I'm from (Thailand) shit like octopus and squid are cheap as balls.
I steam my muscles and clams with garlic lemon water ,once they start to open eat them with a fork ... they key is getting them fresh tho
My brother, Junkie, throw in some basil, tomatoes and olive oil and fire that shit up before you toss in the clams/muscles and you'll either have an awesome lonely dinner, or you'll get laid ;-)
It has to be good olive oil first cold press.. EVOO
Well, shit, I'd be embarrassed if you used anything but ;-)
Clams are my favorite. I can eat well over a dozen raw with some melted butter. An even friend Clams. Octopus is good too if it's cooked right if not it's like eating a rubber tire. I eat alot of fish. If i want lean protein I eat buffalo/bison meat extremely high protein and extremely lean.
Yeah, man, I've had all that buffalo/bison game shit, but goddam if it ain't from a solid maker it's gamey as fuck! i still eat the shit out of it though. lol
Now your first sentence said, "I can eat well over a dozen raw with some melted butter." Are you talking about raw clams, or oysters?? Where the hell do you get raw clams, or are you talking about just some self serve shit at home? Which is fucking awesome if you do!! lol
I live right on the coast so I can get anything. 5 miles up the road and im at the ocean. I can dig my own clams. Eat both raw or fried etc etc.
Ithe comes down to how the bison/buffalo are raised and what their diet is. Any wild animal will have a gamey taste if they eat whatever.
Dude before I die I just wanna sit in the water on the east coast and have ridiculous sea fare thrown at me with retarded amounts of butter! Why does that sound like a f'ed up porn video?
that's not gamey ... that big girl I ate out last night was gamey WOW ,, wait oh my wrong forum
wow...u sick summanabitch! lol
