Uberduck Posted June 19, 2007 Report Share Posted June 19, 2007 Although I'm knowledgeable on all things aquatic I dont eat seafood so cannot relate to Jules' comment in his diary that he ate five lobsters at an 'all you can eat' seafood buffet. I know they are pretty much all shell but still, five seems a banquet fit for an army! "I landed into Qatar at 9pm, and had dinner with some friends (Andy and Angela) who’d driven over the border from Saudi Arabia, where they work as ex-pats. Our hotel (the Movenpick) had an unlimited seafood buffet, and I managed to eat five lobsters, to looks of increasing disdain from the waiting staff, as I piled yet more seafood onto my plate".

Neuro Posted June 20, 2007 Report Share Posted June 20, 2007 They can get quite big as well! Personally I'm a massive octopus fan. They eat it a lot over here especially by the coast and it's just fantastic - try it if you ever get the chance in the north of Spain! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chrissie Brown Posted June 20, 2007 Report Share Posted June 20, 2007 Jules likes his seafood So do l :thumbsup: I used to eat lobster but haven't had any for a while now as its become too expensive. I also love crab, whelks, mussels, cockles, winkles, and crayfish but not keen on quid. I've never tried jellied eels, but l've heard they're delicious.

Wash your mouth out I went on a study tour to the North of Spain (La Coruna/Vigo) in 2004. All the backstreets smell of is oil as all the Spaniards can do with squid/octopus is make calamares (deep fried in breadcrumbs). Everywhere stinks of it and your clothes whiff of it for ages afterwards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
