We did used to love going out for fish and chips in summer...

That said, I've never in my life liked any sort of seafood (I wonder if I'd like fresh-harvested-myself-seafood...). I know there are people in Montana that enjoy it, but not any with a real passion aside for trout which we can wild catch here....which also makes geographical sense. Thanks for answering my question!BLD in MThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08497511995276601468noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31981511.post-7866736174052171742011-12-22T09:14:01.554+13:002011-12-22T09:14:01.554+13:00Nice to have you back!

There is a real historical hunter gatherer mentality here, so if you can get your food at no cost then you should - seafood in plentiful ( well sort of - got to stick to quotas which is a very good thing) so lots of people fish, dive, hunt. I dive for crayfish a lot and scallops and we gather pipis from the beach at low tide. It's just what people do. If we were landlocked I suppose we'd eat a lot more rabbits, and wild pigs :)Laura@OurWeeFarmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11021147150607987627noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31981511.post-44283204252588586642011-12-22T08:40:09.275+13:002011-12-22T08:40:09.275+13:00I am just curious because I live in a landlocked p...I am just curious because I live in a landlocked prairie state: Are there people where you live who do not like seafood? Or is it more like a national requirement given your proximity to it?BLD in MThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08497511995276601468noreply@blogger.com
