Do you like seafood!?

[ColtHandorf]

I get you though. I'm picky about what seafood I'll eat and where I get it from. The desert isn't exactly the greatest place to get fresh seafood.

I remember visiting family in Tuscon years ago and seeing a Joe's Crab Shack and I was just like...

I do enjoy it, although I'm a terrible cook when it comes to seafood as I tend to over cook it.

Crab isn't as hard to keep fresh in the desert because you can ship it live. When you take into account WHERE Tucson is (and phx), Joe's is an acceptable compromise.

You kill me @ColtHandorf

I'm not clogging your arteries like mayo, though.

I would consider that big game. Gators can be found in oceans but their primary range is fresh/brackish water. Same with crocs.

No matter how you slice them though, they're great with a teriyaki glaze.

Interesting. Don't people generally categorize freshwater fish and crustaceans as "sea food?"

They sell more than just crab though. Although, I do remember reading about a very cool place in Arizona. A man-made ocean that you can dive in stocked with marine fish. I read about it in Coral Magazine, I think. I'm drawing a blank on the details though.

Never. If it doesn't come from the ocean or sea it isn't seafood.

I'm a desert rat, man. I am the wrong person to ask My definition is that it has to come from a sea to be seafood. Freshwater stuff is either "fish" or "crawdad". In either case, I would not call a gator seafood or fish, any more than I'd call a bison "beef".

Was that at Biosphere? I don't know of any such place here. There's a couple new big water attractions under construction, maybe one of those...

Hmm. I"ll have to do some googling and see if I can figger it out.
