I feel ya... I went my first 25 years without eating seafood... The wife guided me to see the light though with lil baby steps...

Garlic pepper shrimp kabobs... Then some pan/deepfried fish... Now NOTHING in the sea is safe! Of course living in Maine... I'm in the honey hole and eat as much lobster as humanity possible!!!

Anyway... Baby steps... Deep fried fish doesn't have any smell... And the only texture that I still can't get past is clam bellys n oysters- wife luvs em but not for me.
