I finally tried the Seafood Medley I bought last week , I bought it in case I didn`t like Calamari . Well I cooked it up in the Oven , breaded , I only had the oven set to 350 degrees , but in like 4 minutes I took it out and put it in the fridge to stop the cooking , and not over cook it . Well , when I tried the Calamari I almost spit it out , it tasted alright but like some of you here said that you didn`t like the texture .... I totally agree the texture is horrible . I was too scared to even try out the rest of it , I might like it in a chowder . I only used 1/2 the bag so I should still have enough for a small Seafood Chowder . I can`t recommend this for kids meals thats for sure . I mean it tasted fine , but OOOOOOOh the way it feels in your mouth . It was like eating a Rubber Band . YUCK !!!!!!

Oh It was like eating a RUBBER BAND I don`t know I`ve heard if its overcooked it will be rubbery , but I only cooked it for a few minutes . I do have a little Medley left over , so I I try it in the Chowder before I knock it completely . It will be homemade when I do make it I`ll let you know what I think of it . Thank-you ....

LOL!! I have tried calamari, but i couldn't bring myself to eat the tenticles, i only eat the body parts, the rings. I think i know what you mean, it does taste good but its REALLY chewy, i think shrimp is the same way though. i can only eat a little bit of it at a time. and i'm SCARED of lobster. I ate it from the shell for the first time at Xmas time, and it was the most gross feeling! i like the taste, but i dont like picking the meat out of the body that's TOO GROSS!

LOL Thats just as funny . I love Shrimp and Lobster . EWE I could never eat the tentacles now thats GROSS . Next time when you eat Lobster have someone else take the meat out for you , that way you can ENJOY what your eating . Shrimp I only eat those Shrimp Rings that are already cooked and I only have to thaw them out and their ready to munch on ... This way I can`t over cook them ..... LOL !!!
