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 to the oceans and let me swim among the fish. (Any Sinatra fan?)

    Shellfish is my favorite although it requires some work – peeling shrimp, picking mussels out of their shells, nutcracker-ing that stubborn lobster tail. But I am a believer in no pain no gain!

    Fish me! I love salmon, shrimp and lots of fish kinds but can’t “take” hearing the crunching of the hard shells when eating lobster, etc. so that’s off my personal list! And since I used to see slimy crawdads in the ditches of my Texas city, I know can’t eat crawfish either–ha! Used to play with them as a kid and they just look too similar to me now, ha….

    Fish Me!! Tee-hee. Seafood, ahhhhh. See food.

    Mmmmk. Me no likie very much seafood. Deep fried catfish is edible and I like some tuna but that’s it. So far. There may be something yum in the seafood area that I haven’t tried yet, but I am not going to go on a hunt for it.

    Have cleaned squid though. Lemon juice on the hands afterwards. That is the key.

    BONUS QUESTION: I love almost all kinds of seafood! My family is all from Florida, so we grew up eating fresh (as in, we just caught) shrimp, snapper, etc. LOVE IT! The only kinds I won’t eat are the ones who are still in some kind of “skin”. Like, peel em’ shrimp. Deviled crab creeps me out. Why do you have to put it back in the body?! Ew.

    Also, keeping my fingers doubled crossed for this giveaway! We have a NYC-themed kitchen. I can’t think of a more perfect fit!!!

    I love going to Sushi Revolution–and eating all the vegetable/California/avocado rolls! I still manage to spend a ton of money on lilac plates, lol.

    The Charley Harper collection is awesome. The fish mugs will look perfect hanging out with all my owl mugs. :)

    I adore seafood. And I now sadly realize that the seafood in Missouri is…something…compared to the seafood we have had in the Pacific Northwest. It’s just like buttah up there, yum.
