***This giveaway is no longer accepting entries – see who won below!***
Our two lucky winners as selected by random.org are… Susie (who doesn’t like fish, despite her former employment at Red Lobster) and Sarah (who especially loves Maryland crab, shrimp, salmon, and freshly caught smoked trout). Congrats ladies!
Back when I lived in Brooklyn there was this cool dishware store down the street called Fishs Eddy that I loved. Last Christmas I even bought Sherry two coffee mugs from there. And now, in what can only be called a full circle moment, we’re teaming up with them for a giveaway for you guys. They’ve got tons of fun colorful patterns so we’ve put together three around-$50 prize packages of our favorites: the Food Bank pattern (which benefits the NYC Food Bank), the always-classic 212 New York Skyline pattern, and the playful Charley Harper pattern. So each of our TWO winners will get to pick their favorite collection and take it home.
- PRIZE: One of the following sets of Fishs Eddy dishware: (1) Food Bank set including dishtowel, two mugs, and a set of four sauce dishes, (2) New York Skyline set including salt & pepper shakers, a charger, and a set of four 15oz glasses or (3) Charley Harper set including one fish mug, three fish sauce dishes, and a set of four sunset glasses
- TO ENTER: Comment on this post with the words “FISH ME!” and tell us…
- BONUS QUESTION: …where do you stand on seafood? Have you never met a piece of salmon, fried shrimp, or crabcake you didn’t like? Or do you avoid fish like the plague (perhaps because it tastes “too fishy” or you’re a vegetarian)? Maybe you fall somewhere in the middle and only enjoy specific seafood dishes?
- GIVEAWAY CLOSES: Wednesday, October 5 at 8pm EST
- NUMBER OF WINNERS: Two
- PRIZE SHIPS: The 50 United States & Canada (although we do try to wrangle as many international giveaways as possible)
- USUAL STUFF: One entry per e-mail address is permitted. The winner will be selected using random.org and announced on Thursday as an update to this post. That’s right, come right back here on Thursday for the announcement of our winner. Good luck…
Note: We weren’t paid or perked for hosting this giveaway, we just do ‘em to thank you awesome folks for stopping in. See our Giveaway FAQ page for more info. Pics courtesy of Fishs Eddy.

Fish ME!
I enjoy most types of seafood, but haven’t been able to eat shrimp in over a year thanks to a particularly rough bachelorette party.
Susan says
Fish Me! Fish is not something I cook frequently, but I enjoy it when I get to the coast.
Ashley C says
Fish Me please!
I like seafood, but only if it is eyeless. The eyes creep me out!
Jen N. says
Fish me!
I love just about any seafood. It’s my favorite food group. ;)
Joy says
Fish Me! I love fish, but hate shrimp… weird?
Becca says
FISH ME!!
I actually just went vegetarian about 2 months ago, so I no longer eat seafood. But back when I did, I was obsessed with any and all sushi. I think my absolute favorite dish was when I lived in Hawaii, they make something called poke (pronounced poh-kay), which is just raw cubed ahi tuna tossed with sesame oil and spices. I seriously could’ve eaten it every single day!
SJ says
FISH ME!I love any and all fish and seafood. I’ve eaten everything I’ve been able to get my hands on from plain ole fish to caviar and oysters to octopus, eel, squid, and I’ve even had snapping turtle (not a fish, but we caught it in a pond!), plus many, many, more! And of course, being the Maryland girl that I am, I LOVE ME SOME CRABS!
Vonda says
Fish Me.
I love all seafood. If I could eat it everyday I would!
Allison says
FISH ME!!
Mmmm, I am a HUGE seafood lover. I grew up in an area full of fishermen, so I’ve been into at least lobster since a young age.
I’m less of a fan of when my sister was little and would pull the whole “See? Food!” chewed up food trick. Made me gag everytime…
Samantha says
FISH ME!
I really have to be in the right mood for seafood, but a good crab dip is fabulous!
Wehaf says
Fish me! I like fresh-water fish and lobster. That’s about it!
Krysta @ Domestic for Dummies says
Fish Me! We love seafood especially when we catch it ourselves!
Rachel says
Fish Me!
Monique says
FISH ME!
I’m from Maine, where it’s all seafood, all the time! Lobster, salmon, haddock, scallops, clams! AH. I love it all!
sarah says
FISH ME! Seafood is my favorite!
I would also like to note, that I went shopping here back in 2004 I think, and for the life of me, could not remember the name of the store!! You should have heard the scream when this popped up in my reader!!
Kelly says
FISH ME!
Seafood is hit and miss for me, I love white fish, crab and lobster and even tuna! But it all depends how it is cooked. Actually, it all depends if it has been fried!
Anita says
FISH ME!
Laura says
Fish Me!
I would eat any bit of seafood that came my way. Especially if it had bacon in/on it at all!
LARY says
FISH ME!
I love salmon, I love sushi.
Sam @ The Junk House says
Fish Me! I love, love, lurve seafood! Shrimp scampi is my favorite food!
Maureen @This (Kinda) Old House says
“FISH ME!” Both my husband and I avoid seafood like the plague. Occasionally I will have tuna in macaroni. But that is rare. I have tried other things, but just am not a big fan, and won’t try anything ever again probably. LOL
My husband, on the other hand, has a firm belief that we have no business eating anything that comes out of the ocean. It is wrong to him on so many levels. And no, he isn’t vegetarian. He just thinks the ocean is a whole other world we shouldn’t eat from. LOL
Amy says
FISH ME! I love salmon, and grew up eating sunfish, bluegills, and walleye from my aunt’s lake. I can’t eat lobster though: as a waitress, I served one too many plates with those little eyes looking right back at me!
stacy t says
Fish Me!
I love seafood in almost all forms except fried!
JanetL says
Fish me! Throw it back! Keep seafood in the sea and off my plate. ;)
Meg says
Fish Me!! Growing up, I only ate tuna (from the can) and fish sticks, which was rough during Lent. I presume that my dislike towards fish was a direct correlation to my mother’s disdain for it. Now, I can’t get enough of it…although de-boning it suuuuucks. ;-)
Jonna says
FISH ME! I eat all kinds of seafood except bivalves (clams, swallows, oysters, ect.). I just can’t deal with the texture of those, blech!
Sarah R says
FISH ME! I stay away from fish! Brought up vegetarian, however my father in law makes cedar plank salmon and I have to admit I always have a piece, it is just so yummy!
Nicole Grove says
FISH ME!
Seafood and I definitely do NOT get along!
Katee Teng says
FISH ME!!
We love seafood… We literally keep our local fisherman in business!
Kelly M says
fish me!
Lori says
FISH ME! I love all fish (and Fishs Eddy, was just in there the other day).
Shannon A says
Fish Me!!
I used to HATE anything seafood. My dad refuses to eat it, so we never had it growing up. Then I met my (now) husband and I would eat seafood every night if I could. It’s just so expensive here in Memphis. Darn land-locked city.
Kate S. says
FISH ME!
I’m a big fan of seafood–fish, shellfish, even jellyfish and octopus have impressed me! On the other hand, my husband loves fish, but doesn’t eat any kind of shellfish and I doubt I could get him to try anything more adventurous than that, considering shrimp make him shudder.
Jessica says
FISH ME! I love seafood! I’m afraid to stink up the house, so I always order it when we go out.
Aimee Lamb says
Fish Me!
I absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE all seafood. From sushi to well everything fishy.
Laura says
FISH ME!
I’m a vegetarian, but I have what I call fishues. I don’t like fish at all. Bad experience with them as pets after we added a few that had been tested on into our fish bowl. Grew up by the coast in RI too, so I have really missed out on some good seafood.
Emily says
Fish me! LOVE all seafood – I am from the great state of Louisiana, where we take our seafood very seriously.
Karyn says
FISH ME!
I like to eat it, hate to cook it, and REALLY hate to kill it.
Lisa says
Fish me! I like most seafood. I am a big fan of sushi!
Erica says
FISH ME!!!
I’m ok with shrimp but any other fish I just can’t- even when we went to Maine this summer, I tried lobster for the first time and it wasn’t so much the taste that made me gag as it was the texture…yuck!
nicole mason says
Fish Me!! I am a veggie-tarian!!
Ashley G says
FISH ME! I love it all.
Raquel says
Fish me! I’m a vegetarian and couldn’t imagine eating these adorable creatures. But put them on my table on dishware? Absolutely!
Annie says
FISH ME! I love shellfish and sushi but that’s about where my fishlove ends. Love fishs eddie, though! Bought the 212 glass set when I lived in NYC and they’ve since broken, so would lurve to replace ’em. Cheers!
Jenn says
FISH ME!
I love seafood, but I love Fishs Eddy and Charley Harper even more!!! I used to spend many a lunch break browsing at Fishs Eddy when I worked at the Flatiron Building in NYC, and my new baby has a beloved Charley Harper book and the nesting blocks. This dinnerware has my heart fluttering!
Teresa says
FISH ME!!
I like some seafood…even limited sushi, but I just can’t see it as a fish ya know? That would just be gross.
katherine says
FISH ME!
The onle fish i’ll eat is fish and chips from the restaruant in town
Kim says
FISH ME! I get skeeved out by most seafood in the general grocery store, but in the right environment, I haven’t met something from the ocean that I didn’t like!
Katie says
FISH ME! I love seafood..although I have been a little resentful towards all fish over the past two years. I introduced my boyfriend to fishing and I now live for the rare times that he doesn’t go fishing 3-4 times a week for a minimum of 5 hours at a time.
Cathy says
Fish Me!
I Love seafood!
