Why is America the only country that knows how to make good seafood? I was traveling abroad in Europe and, being a seafood aficionado, I would always order some shellfish. Lobster being my numero uno, crab and oysters coming second. Every lobster and crab was always cold, served like cooked but cold?

How hard is it to make a crab or lobster? I had a bunch of other styled dishes with their fancy sauces and schmauces and this and that and it was never as good as some good ole American steamed crab or lobster. How hard is it to make good seafood...

Steam or boil the sonna of bitch, give me some melted butter and let me go to flavor town goddamnit.

Cold poached is a legit way, and common way, to serve seafood.

I would say the American palate doesn't tolerate fishy strong fish as much as the rest of the world, or older generations. We aren't as into the cold water oily fish that is salted or tinned, whether pickled or packed in oil. No, thank you. We don't even as much like lake fish for tasting muddy. We have so much coastline, and effective transportation, that if it isn't live/fresh when cooked, we know it. If it wasn't frozen onboard a vessel, we know it. That said, very stupid and very poor people can and do buy mysterious fingers, filets and other "white fish" such as swai and god awful mekong delta farmed "basa" crap that is showing up in restaurants. People who love seafood will know the right fishmonger in town, buys fish in season, or live, and probably fishes on vacation, whether it be salmon in alaska or dolphinfish or snapper in Florida. They're only raw oysters at an actual coastal seafood restaurant, not an afterthought menu item at a steak restaurant. And, price doesn't matter. Nothing beats stone crabs for sustainability or the season. It's served COLD, and the dipping sauce is a mustardy mayo with a delicious deviled egg flavor.

this is just a thinly-veiled Europe hate thread.
i was in Paris and there was plenty of fresh seafood. however, i did not stay long enough to see if they had hot-cooked seafood. i only had the oysters. this one fucker at a farmer's market sold me a lukewarm scallop though. i recall it was 8 euros for that skewer.

in general, it depends on where you go. OP is just LARPing.
