Regularly eat cod, salmon (fresh not smoked), trout, sea bass, bream, hake, pollack, gurnard, haddock, mackerel, ling, eel, squid, octopus and prawns. Love pickled herring and fresh herring but ideally has to have bones removed. Tinned sardines or mackerel are delicious in spicy chilli sauce. Heartburn is the biggest issue with smoked fish like kippers which I also love. When travelling abroad the fish market and butcher are often one of my favourite parts of vacation

If you get to Spain there's a great fish market off Las Ramblas in Barca, but then the Spanish do do good fish markets, shame most is undersized. Try the Bacalao or salted cod .

I love all seafood. I have tinned sardines 2 or 3 times a week usually with salad but sometimes on wholemeal toast. Also have tuna mayo wraps or butties quite often.
Also still have fish and chips each Friday.
When I go out for a curry, more often than not go for a fish option either for a starter or main course.
When I've visited Sweden, I've tried pickled herring for breakfast and really loved it.
Love anything like lobster, crabs, welks etc, but should really eat more fresh seafood.
I tried jelly eel at a beer festival a few years ago. It wasn't unpleasant but I wouldn't rush to have it again!
I don't eat a lot of red meat, but seafood and poultry provides the most of my protein requirements.

Yes or no?

Fish and seafood consumption - and by that I mean beyond chippy tea - and seafood availability and consumption seems to be dying off. I am a person who really enjoys les fruits de mer - even from a tin - but youngsters seem not to like it. Before beans on toast I'd have tinned pilchards in tomato sauce on toast for example. For an island nation our relationship with fish even just as a protein has been odd and in decline for a century - why? Is it changing taste or a strong meat lobby?

Love it all. Sardines on toast is top quality stuff! You’re right about the younger gen; both my daughters wouldn’t eat pickled herring but I love a good roll mop.

Give Surströmming a go

From Wikipedia.
'A newly opened can of surströmming has one of the most putrid food smells in the world...'
You're not selling it to me mate!

I’d rather starve to death.

Tinned fish in general makes me want to throw up, can’t even do normal salmon / tuna.

I’m not a big seafood lover. Chippy tea and the occasional bit of seabass is about as far as I can go.

Don't eat any kind of seafood and haven't for nearly 50 years.

Not a big fan of salmon or tuna but love mackerel, sardines or pilchards on toast and as someone said, for about 75p a tin you can't go wrong! I remember as a kid, my nana and granddad would always give us kippers or haddock. I'm sure they used to boil/cook a fish in milk but can't remember for the life of me what that was?
