Members enthusiastically shared their favorite seafood dishes in response to the question about enjoying seafood while living with HIV, with lobster, shrimp, crab, sushi, and fish being the most popular choices. Several members noted important personal factors, including shellfish allergies, avoiding farm-raised fish due to antibiotic reactions, and one member sharing how switching to a pescatarian diet helped with weight loss and gout flares. A recurring theme was enjoying seafood in moderation, with a few members acknowledging doctor advice to avoid raw fish like sushi due to having a compromised immune system.

Well I eat shrimp and crabs but I love whole belly clams.. Didn't get any this summer because the place I wanted to eat at always had a line around the corner. I refused to eat them at any old place. Needless to say I will be making my seafood chowder which consists of clams, shrimp and cod fish.. Yummy just the weather for it.
