Fab Freebie: Gone Fishing

***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.

Fishs Eddy Giveaway

  • 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’ve been trying to like seafood since 1999. But I think something about it just doesn’t agree with my palate. Although I do like swordfish…if it’s topped with mango salsa.

    FISH ME!

    Here’s my fish story: I was fish-sitting for a roommate back when I lived in NYC and this fish started getting this weird growth on its head and seemed to get sicker and sicker all weekend. She got back and it died the next day. There was nothing that could have been done, but I was pretty bummed that it happened on my watch! On a happier note, I’m vegetarian, so no other fish have died at my hands :).

    Fish me! I’ve never met a fish I didn’t like, but I’ve never had shrimp that I do like. I haven’t tried other forms of seafood yet.

    FISH ME! I love *most* seafood, unless it’s: 1) a whole fish (I won’t eat anything that still has eyeballs attached) or 2) fried, unless THAT is calamari, because, yum.

    FISH ME!!!

    I spent 5 years working a seafood counter at a grocery store. Sure, it was pay for a poor college student and provided me with health insurance until I found a job after I graduated, but it was a stinky, sloppy, slimy job. Every week I had to melt down the seafood-soaked ice in the display case with a hose of steamy water, which my skin then absorbed and wouldn’t let go of for days following. And yet, somehow, I still loves me some dungeneous crab!

    Please random winner generator thingie, take pity on my formerly smelly self. My bathroom needs those fish plates on the walls as proof of my survival through fish clerk-dom.

    FISH ME! I’m a Marine Biology major and I have no qualms about eating seafood… I literally eat, sleep, and breathe my major! However, I will only eat sustainably fished species (shark fin soup = EVIL) because if I don’t, I’ll be out of a job! The Monterey Bay Aquarium has an awesome iPhone app that can tell you what’s good, what’s bad, and where to get the good stuff :)

    um, I am a bum when it comes to seafood. I want to like it more than I do… I stick with white fish such as cod or talapia and I like shrimp, lobster, and crab. And that is all.

    Phish me! (does that count? :) I like some seafood minus things in shells, as I’m allergic. But, sushi, grouper and Friday fish frys, count me in!

    FISH ME! I typically stick to the milder seafood like tilapia, otherwise it’s a bit too “fishy” for my liking. :)

    FISH ME!!! I love fish but I’m mainly a crab leg & shrimp kinda gal! In fact, I put away about 40 pieces of shrimp at Red Lobster last night…Endless Shrimp was going on of course! :)Couldn’t help myself.

    FISH ME!!

    Any seafood is wonderful! I’m expecting right now, and trying to cut back on fish a bit, but that is all I’m craving!
    Wahoo for Canadian give-aways!

    I’m from New England so I love all shell fish. My favorite fish is rockfish and my favorite sushi is maguro.

    FISH ME!

    I love seafood. It was a rare treat when I was growing up in the Midwest, but Dad was from the East Coast and Mom would fix it as a special treat for him. One of my most traumatic memories was having to eat oyster soup before I could go trick-or-treating, but that just indicates what a great childhood I had.

    FISH ME! Living in Alaska certainly has its rewards — one of which being the amazing, fresh seafood. I’m partial to salmon and especially halibut, but I’ll take it all!

    FISH ME! I love, love, love seafood. So sad that I live in a landlocked state. And I love Fishs Eddy. I had no money when I lived in NY but I would browse in the one on Broadway and dream.

    FISH ME…

    I don’t eat fish anymore. I used to eat all kinds when I was a kid, but somewhere along the way as I was growing up I couldn’t handle the taste of any fish or seafood.

    Fish Me, please! May I just say how much I love the Food Bank pattern. I love that it benefits such a wonderful cause.
    As for the seafood…I do enjoy some seafood more than others, but being from Texas I have to say that I love gulf coast shrimp.

    Fish me! Well, I’ve already been fished, since I married a Haddock ;) I love all seafood – except for eel. And I’ve developed an allergy to oysters, which is terribly unfortunate.
