I have never liked fish. Actual fish that is, the kind you get in restaurants or is prepared by people that like fish. It’s not that I think it’s disgusting, I just don’t like it. I have also drifted away from seafood in general. As recently as college I would eat shrimp and fried clams. No more, it just doesn’t appeal. One of the more popular places to eat here is the fish souk. You go to a shop and pick out the fish you want, they clean it for you and then you take it over to a nearby restaurant and they cook it for you. Everyone raves about it and when I tell them that I don’t like fish they always say the same thing, “You just haven’t had FRESH fish before..” Actually I have, multiple times, I don’t like it. Tonight I gave in and decided to try again. We got some sort of shark and a bunch of shrimp. Everyone raved about the shark, I thought it tasted like… fish. Seriously, I have no idea what people see in fish, I can’t really imagine it as anything that I would want to eat, let alone crave. It’s so, bleah with a hint of that special “fish” flavor that I dislike so much. Predictably, whenever I’ve tried fish that others were eating, the favorite around the table was always the fish that tasted the least fishy. Go figure… So anyway, I’m done. I have made up my mind, I do not like fish, I have tried at least 6 or 7 different types (and yes, they were all fresh) and I have found nothing to recommend it. If you are going to stay here for a while, and you like fish, you should definitely check this place out. For those of you like me, don’t bother, it’s same as any other fish…<\/p>\n
