Post by: CactusCarlos on March 17, 2008, 02:22:42 PM
What is the purpose of doing this anyway?

I don't, but then, I don't eat seafood, either!  :-)

That's really sad.  I would have been the same way because my parents didn't have a clue how to cook seafood.  Furtunately, I grew up in New Orleans so when I finally got to try seafood away from home it was the best!

I've eaten it cooked at home, and at various restaraunts, and I just don't like it.  I can eat some types of fish, but shrimp, lobster, etc...ugh, the texture makes me gag.

I do it.  The purpose is to allow the citrus to brighten the flavor of the fish. 

I like lemon on fried fish.  I do see a lot of folks doing that. 

mmmmmm.  Fried catfish, lemon, and tartar sauce.

I don't do it religiously, but any tart substance like lemon or vinegar also helps eliminate any "fishy" taste for me.

If it's super-fresh, I don't worry about it.  But on occasion I like to get my fish grilled with lime pepper.

We're probably talking a bit out of your league.  We are talking about seafood that doesn't come out of a can with a mermaid on the label.

Good for you!  It helps to google photo of things you don't understand. 

A picture really is worth a thousand words.

Squeezed lemon on fish fried or baked gives it a zesty taste. If I don't have lemon, no big deal. I might use ketchup on fried catfish. Don't use lemon on any other type of seafood.

I use the lemon, it enhances the flavor.
