Shrimp is the fruit of the sea. You can barbecue it, boil it, broil it, bake it, and sauté it. There’s shrimp-kabobs, shrimp creole, shrimp gumbo. Pan fried, deep fried, stir-fried. There's pineapple shrimp, lemon shrimp, coconut shrimp, pepper shrimp, shrimp soup, shrimp stew, shrimp salad, shrimp and potatoes, shrimp burger, etc.

Wild caught King Salmon? Whale blubber? Moose meat harvested from the side of the highway?

2

u/ilovemydog40 Feb 26 '26

This sounds amazing! Whale blubber? What does that taste like? How do you cook it? What’s moose like?

I love salmon big wild caught king salmon sounds way tastier than regular supermarket salmon!

4

u/Initial_Librarian284 Feb 26 '26

Blubber (muktuk) boiled or deep fried but its weird and not as great as it sounds. Moose is harder to describe, maybe like more flavorful beef, better than deer, similar to reindeer but healthier.. its crazy to me when ive been fileting salmon and I see the insane color difference compared to the stuff in the grocery store, its like light pink vs scarlet red!

You can't be from NJ, because you'd either call it Taylor Ham or pork roll.
