>Crustaceans are basically sea-insects and are not related at all to fin fish, so that's actually not too surprising.

Continuing my "crass American" theme, all I know is that king crab legs with hot salty/spicy garlic butter are awesome - and no amount of garlic butter can redeem fish :)

Although....I have to share this story (and maybe I told this before).

Many years ago I was doing some training at a hotel Orlando. There was a sports bar in the basement of the hotel, so it was a convenient place to eat lunch every day.

The first day, I ordered a Cajun chicken sandwich that was on the menu. The server apologized and said, "Sorry, we don't serve that anymore....however, we do have a Cajun Grilled Grouper that is very popular".

I said, "OK, sure". It was very good, and I wound up ordering the same thing for lunch every day.

By the last day, a co-worker said, "Wow, Kevin, that must be a great sandwich, you keep ordering the same thing every day"

I replied, "Yeah, it is really good....I love grilled chicken"

Everyone at the table (about 6 people) looked at me in shock...one of them said, "Uhm...Kevin....what do you think you're eating?"

I replied, "I figure it's some kind of chicken, the server said on Monday that anyone who liked Cajun Chicken would like this....and truthfully, this tastes so much like chicken that I figured it was some kind of chicken"

Everyone started laughing. I kid you not, I didn't get the joke. Then someone asked..."Kevin, WTF do you think grouper is?"

I actually didn't know at the time, so I said, "uhm....some kind of chicken?"

Then the laughter got louder. Finally someone burst my bubble..."Kevin...grouper is FISH"

I looked at the sandwich and recalled how the last bite tasted. I was grossed out. I put it down and didn't finish it. Because I could suddenly smell/taste the fish.

And that's why I hate fish so much. :)
