i can't quite remember, but i think i had a really bad fish experience.
when i was really young, i liked fish. i remember a friend of my mom's bringing over fresh trout he had caught, which he gutted and cleaned in our kitchen sink. my sister cooked it for me, and presented me with this whole fish, skin and all, that was staring at me as i was trying to eat it.
it turns out that the fish i liked was fish sticks. being faced with the real thing just grossed me out.
now i can't stand the smell, texture and taste.

Re: what made you hate seafood?
Thu, May 5, 2005 - 11:33 AMI loved fishing when I was really really small - didn't mind the fish looking at me or the thought of eating it, it was the taste that put me off, when i found out that people eat things like shrimp or crabs - yeck.... how could they - they are just so gross and even more fishy than fish.....

Re: what made you hate seafood?
Thu, May 5, 2005 - 12:19 PMWhen I was about 5 or 6 I went to a friend’s house to play and have dinner. I told my friend’s mom I did not like fish and I would not eat it. My mom told her I would eat what ever else she made but I did not like fish. I told her again right before she started making dinner. Low and behold at dinner I got fish. She told me no one ever told her I did not like fish. She obviously has hearing issues. I was not aloud to leave the table until the fish was gone. I gagged down every bite and I think it took a few hours. I just remember sitting at that table alone with the fish. I was afraid to stand up for myself because my friend’s mom would sometimes hit her so I was afraid she might hit me if I did not do what she said. I think my fish thing was probably something I would have gotten over later in life but now I am scared for life. -

Thu, May 5, 2005 - 8:37 PMWow, Robin! That is freaking unbelievable! I would NEVER have made a friend of my kids eat something they didn't like. How totally rude.............arghhhhhhhh. As for me, I just never liked it, BUT and this is really weird to me, because it's probably the fishiest tasting fish (from what I've heard) there was a LONG period in my life when I just LOVED tuna salad sandwiches. All of a sudden, I just couldn't gag one down anymore.........I'd take a bite and would be running to the kitchen sink. Never have figured out why, but about 5 years later, I was craving it.......same thing, took a bite and GAAAAAAAAAAAAAG! I have tried shrimp......yuck. Also we never had fish at home because my mother didn't like it either.
