I am not a fan of Fish, but I love Shellfish and Seafood.

Maine/European Lobster - Wonderful.
Northern cold water Prawns - the prawn cocktail.
Warm water giant Prawns - in any Asian cuisine.
Spiny Lobster - Lobster tail with steak.
Freshwater Giant Prawn - Indian starter.
Queen Scallop - breaded, not a fan of the roe.
Squid - delicious Calimari.
Cuttlefish - not found in restaurants, but identical to Squid.
Scampi/Langoustine - if not watery, it's great.
Crayfish - miniature freshwater Lobster, great on buttered bread.
Shrimp - potted Shrimp.

Octopus - I haven't seen for years but it's delicious in a stir fry.
Soft Shell Crab - I haven't been impressed with Crab, but in 2019 I had my first Soft Shell Crab and it was delicious. Now a favourite.

Slipper Lobster - I haven't tried, but would love to.
Squat Lobster - Scottish Squat Lobster was very disappointing. I would like to try Langostino from Chile.

I will eat Cockles and Welks from the stands.
I am not a fan of Mussels, I haven't tried Mussels eith white wine in a bucket.
I had Razor Clams once, I can't quite recall them.
Oysters - Fine in a sauce, I haven't acquired the taste of them raw

What are your favourites?

My wife and I love fish and seafood of all varieties. We eat it at least twice a week. One of our favourites is sushi/sashimi; I particularly like uni, but it’s not always available. As a treat we like to have skate pan fried in butter and garlic.

If you can describe it, what's octopus taste like?

I do love prawns
 
I experimented with sushi one year when I was making Xmas dinner. Something very simple: sushi rice rolled up inside slices of smoked salmon, with another lump of smoked salmon in the centre.

What really makes it sing is the combination of flavours from all the accompaniments: pickled cucumber, pickled ginger (both easy to make), soy sauce, and horseradish standing in for wasabi. A piece of smoked salmon sushi dipped in soy sauce and a dab of horseradish is one of the most intense, delicious things I've ever eaten.

@jimmyc , this will give you even more of the boak! In all my years working in Japan, I tried almost everything you could think of from the river or sea, but THIS was the worst....

Namakosu - vinegared sea cucumber sashimi.
Of course I wasn't told what it was in advance, just "Namako - very delicious" !

Nope, nope,nope. The thing is I like fish and eat it regularly, I think it is the texture of most shellfish as well as the stronger seaside taste.
 
i love all fish & preferably cooked although i have had sashimi that i enjoyed on my travels.
The only thing really so far that i don’t want to try is Black Gobies or any little bottom feeders that you get in eastern europe
