TO ALL PEOPLE WHO DISLIKE SEAFOOD!?

Question

When you are older... and go over to someone's house for dinner.... and they make seafood.... how would you tell them that you dislike it? Would you pick at it or suck it up or not eat it at all? By dislike I mean...feels like you're going to gag each time you eat it.

Answer 1

I would eat plenty of anything else that was being served and pass on the seafood. I don't eat anything that comes out of the water and most people that know me know that

Answer 2

I would think that if I were on such an intimate basis with a person, as to be invited for dinner...they would know that I didn't eat seafood.  It would be a non-issue.

Answer 3

oh man i was in the same situation when i was like 7, my friends parents made baked fish and id take a bite and gag and my eyes got all teary haha. in advance tell them you strongly dislike. but if its on the spot, tell them your allergic or it upsets your stomach lol

Answer 4

i say don't say anything and eat the side dishes instead !  

Answer 5

Just tell them how you really feel about the food they cook. Say it's just seafood you don't like not theirs in particular

Answer 6

just honestly tell them you don't like seafood

Answer 7

Make up an allergy - real quick. Sure it's a lie, but it's either a

harmless little one to save feelings or fast talking to get out of

why you're not eating the food they've worked (possibly) all

afternoon to prepare.

It's the only graceful way I can think of. Tough situation though.

Good luck.  

Answer 8

when you are older and you go to someones house for dinner, you will probably know them well enough to tell them you don't eat seafood before you agree to dinner. if you tell them before hand, there is no problem.

Answer 9

Tell your host that you dislike seafood, and will there be anything else served besides seafood. If you let them know far enough ahead of time, they can prepare something that you do like

Answer 10

Hog the salad bowl. and politely explain leaving out the gaging part why you don't eat sea food.

Answer 11

My friends and family know me and know how I feel about seafood.  But to answer your question I was raised not to be rude. I don't think I would tell them that I don't like seafood. Maybe I would say I was allergic to it. Or even just say that suddenly you feel a little sick.  

Answer 12

i would think that you could just say "ya know, im not much of a fish gal"- i think a dislike for seafood is common enough that it wouldnt be that wierd. not like as if it were chicken. most people like chicken
