There are very few foods I do not like- though I am allergic to strawberries- LOVED them before I had a few serious reactions, though- and now I have to totally steer clear. At first I thought it was maybe the pesticides used that perhaps were not thoroughly washed from them, but then I experienced the itchy welts, swollen numb lips and brow- (also the palms of my hands and soles of my feet- WEIRD, huh?), and closing throat w/ jarred preserves! Today I still use and cook with them often for others, but I must use vinyl gloves.
Also have to use gloves when dealing my high volumes of salmon, monkfish and tomatoes. If I have to skin/fillet more than one salmon or monk without gloves my hands get all these itchy l'il blisters all over them (no other fish do this to me, tho!)... same with tomatoes- I can slice/chop a dozen of them but any more than that and I need the gloves to avoid the weird itchy welts and discomfort.
Have also had the exact same reactions as the strawberries when eating certain fish/seafoods too, though have never been able to source it to which ones exactly, 'cause the times I had reactions it was when I gorged on spreads that featured MANY varieites. Today I still eat all fish/seafoods and LOVE them all... have had 3-4 reactions but not for a few years, so maybe I'm in the clear now? (I take that back, I cannot eat raw oysters- YUCH! I wish I liked them- but nope. Not only nope- but HELL NOPE!)
Anyone who doesn't like fish, but who'd like to find a fish they CAN enjoy ought to try a sample of halibut. Especially beer-battered or tempura'd and deep-fried. To my tongue, halibut tastes more like MEAT than fish.
For years the only fish I ever ate were cornmeal/fried catfish and local mid-western game fish like smelt, bass, bluegill... but of course traveling to the west-coast and Alaska changed that forever... and today I am SO BEHOLDEN to the sea-gods for exposing me to their bountiful, yummy world!
