Unlike most Poles, we love seafood.

Tiger prawns, fried.

You say unlike most Polish you like seafood. I did not find this the case on my visits to Poland. I found many Polish love seafood, as do I.

I always thought that Poles loved seafood. At least the ones I grew up with. Being on the shores of the Baltic one would think seafood would be an item on their menus at home.

Love shrimp % prawns. The last photo - - is it clams or oysters?

So, Poles have two national traits - they love seafood and they think they are unique, incomparable to other Poles

Who is correct, clams, oysters, or like I said, mussels? Please advise, and how you are making them, and how you will serve them.

Unfortunately, Polish waters are too cold to produce edible/eatable stuff other than fish and crayfish. Mules etc grow too small and tough here

No, no, they are simple mules or mussels, whatever you call them there in the States.
I tried oysters but didn`t cook them, ate raw, fresh from the shell, yet wasn`t so fascinated with them.

Yes. I first ate them in US in 1990. I had always wanted to try them but couldn`t as communist state traders hadn`t imported such stuff.

Then you met or know special Poles because all my family and acquaintances who visit us, given a choice of dishes, never decide to have shellfish. They always prefer traditional Polish stuff like fried pork chop with potatoes etc etc. And they consider us weird. May be it is Krakowian conservatism in some way.

But I have never been conservative.

I like to take a pose of a flaming radical. Seeming uncompromising first, makes a final agreement even more pleasant.

We like fried seafood mix dish. We call it surimi, after the crab sticks bearing this name.

Squid gołąbki:

Another variant of the same food.

This one here is octopus. Stuffed in the same way as gołąbki or squid!

We all share incredible weakness to sea food......

Crayfish can be called Polish crustacean seafood.

Whenever I am low in spirits (feeling blue, I mean), I activate the tin of fish liver. It works wonders. I recommend this method to you.
[image]

When I'm feeling blue
All I have to do
Is take a look at you
Then I'm not so blue
When you're close to me
I can feel you heart beat
I can hear you breathing
In my ear
Wouldn't you agree?
Baby, you and me got a groovy kind of love

Any time you want to
You can turn me on to
Anything you want to
Any time at all
When I kiss your lips
Ooh, I start to shiver
Can't control the quivering inside
Wouldn't you agree?
Baby, you and me got a groovy kind of love

Shrimp chips. They appeared in Poland about 30 years ago. As a child, I was always fascinated by the way they increase in hot oil. Magic!

The main ingredient of this dish is shredded salmon.

Do Americans eat herring?
Like marinaded herring. This recipe is called herring in Japanese style. Herring, mayonaise, onion, egg, spices, vodka. I added spring onion to make some difference.
