How anyone can eat squid is beyond me; it's like chewing pencil erasers. :confused:😱 However, salmon, prawns or smoked mackerel are all lovely. 🙂 (I once had some smoked-mackerel sushi rolls...)
 
There's a hotel in Anglesey that I used to stay at when doing work for Anglesey Aluminium, and as I was on expenses I always went for something I wouldn't normally have at home 🙂 One time I had squid and it was really nice, another time I had swordfish and that was absolutely gorgeous - my food heaven! Unfortunately, whenever I have eaten either anywhere else they have both been very poorly cooked and not a patch on the Anglesey ones :(
 
We eat a lot of fish. Living on an island, with aquaculture a big industry, there's a ready supply of salmon, plus freshly caught langoustine (still live at purchase), ditto lobster, hand dived scallops, fresh mussels, halibut, haddock and pollack, and locally smoked kippers. One or two food miles.

Mind you, the same applies to pork, beef and lamb.

I don't generally frequent fast food emporia, but a couple of months ago I was desperate and went into a Subway. I was anticipating a tasty chicken and bacon with all the trimmings, or a ham and cheese, or a meatball melt. I can't tell you how downcast I was to find that it was a Halal Subway. I didn't even know they existed. You live and learn :(
 
I have eaten a McDonald's twice in my entire life. I have been to Subway once and he same goes for Burger King. Having said this I run into McDonald's about 30 times per week to use their toilet 🙂

My wife always used to feel guilty about using a fast food restaurants potty so had to buy something....:(.... I don't even like fast food😱 Fortunately D has put a stop to her buying me food I don't want.

I don't eat there. I just use their facilities for the performance of oblutions

My idea of heaven! I love squid as long as it's not cooked till it's chewy. However whelks are very curious. They're just like chewing someone's ears! 😱
I could happily live on langoustines 🙂
 
I tried Whelks once. Your description is spot on @Amigo.
