I have never eaten a seafood salad till yesterday. It was my friend's birthday yesterday and we went to a restaurant. We ordered shrimp salad to try it for the first time. I really liked the taste. Have you ever tasted a seafood salad? How did you like it?

I loved to eat all kinds of seafood and seafood salad it was always one of my favorites. However about nine years ago I went out with a few friends and we had a shrimp salad and I began to get very sick and ended up having to go to the doctor where I was told that I had a very bad allergy to seafood. I thought this was strange seeing how I had always eaten it while growing up but they told me that the severe reactions can appear at anytime and I shouldn't eat them anymore. Well I had to test that out so I tried one more time and My whole face started to swell and I had to be rushed back to the hospital. I was than told it could be fatal if I kept trying to eat seafood. I have never tried to eat any since but it still bothers me that I can't and that I could eat them for so long and be fine but now if I do I end up in the hospital.

Very sorry about this..I have heard of yet another allergy to seafoods called amoebiosis. Did you take rotten or old shrimps which would have resulted to this allergy?

To be honest I am not a great lover of seafood my friend, and apart from prawns, cod, mackerel and tuna these are the only seafoods that I will eat, I am not adventurous and won't try any exotic seafoods, once I was dished up a plate of squid and it tasted like rubber, yuk it was revolting, so that has put me off most seafoods. I think I would have a salad of just prawns nothing else.

yes, Prawns are very delicious ones..It is always better not to try exotic seafoods as some foods may make us feel disgusted.

I love seafood and seafood salad. Once I mixed it with Amish pasta salad. It was wonderful. I like all kinds of salads. For something different make a regular salad, add some chicken chunks, some shredded cheese and some salsa. The salsa is lower in calories and you won't miss the fat from regular dressings. Mmmmmm.

Yes i really like seafood salad, but you have to watch the calories, sea food is high in fat and the dressing will get you every time. So don't think you were eating a diet food, just a very tasty one.

Yes, seafoods salads are not good for those who watch out calories as the dressing increases the calorific value of the food.
