***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! Will eat seafood any day…love it all. My granddad was a fisherman so we had it all the time.
natalie says
FISH ME! it’s gotta be because I grew up away from either coast, but I just can’t seem to swallow anything with the slightest fishy taste!
Aubrey says
FISH ME!!! The only fish I ate growing up was fish sticks, so the closest I’ll come to fish now is shrimp! Everything else is too ‘fishy’ for me!
Anna says
FISH ME!
I’ve been allergic to shellfish since age 14… and I’ve been praying for a cure ever since! However, I can eat fish and love me some spicy tuna rolls :)
Hilary says
FISH ME!!!
First off, I love seafood. Secondly, my boyfriend loves to fish (but he’s a catch and release fly fisher). Thirdly, we are both mad about the Charley Harper dish set at Fishes Eddy. Two Christmases ago, being a good boyfriend, he bought me a signed CH print that is framed in our living room. Now I’m coveting that dish set! Perfect dishes for cooking up some seafood!
Christina C. says
FISH ME! I don’t do the “sea bugs” and that always makes for an interesting time eating at restaurants since I live in Virginia Beach. Seafood EVERYWHERE.
Leiann says
FISH ME!
I am somewhere in the middle on seafood. I like fish and occasionally buy fish sticks. :)
I am on the fence with shrimp and you will never see me order Sushi.
Rachel says
Fish me!!!
I’m a late lover of seafood….hated it as a kid, can’t get enough of it as an adult.
Jenny says
FISH ME!!! I wish I ate seafood. I see my family devour lobster/crab legs/shrimp. I just can’t do it!!!!!
Carol says
FISH ME!
Delicious and nutricious!
Sara says
Fish Me! I like shrimp and flounder…. but oysters… the birds can have them!
Amy S. says
FISH ME! I like any kind of fish, but I’m not a big fan of the shellfish.
Kelly Q says
Fish Me!
Oysters are my fave, but Md blue crabs are a very close second.
I just discovered Fishs Eddy few weeks ago and loved it. Great shop!
Jennifer says
FISH ME! Anything and everything is fine with me. I’ll try any of it and we regularly eat crab legs, shrimp, tilapia, salmon (although hubbie is not such a fan), mahi mahi, etc., etc. Our pre-schooler will eat almost any of it, too. She easily eats 4 medium shrimp any time you put them in front of her and had tilapia with us last night.
Ashley says
FISH ME!
I LOVE seafood…except for crab legs. It looks so delicious and I REALLY want to love it, but I just don’t!
kelly says
fish me!
jeanie says
Fish Me! I passionately adore all seafood but don’t live close to excellent fresh sources but love it when I can get it.Yum!
Amy in Pittsburgh says
FISH ME!
I grew up with parents who had very conservative food tastes, so “fish” meant “frozed breaded fish sticks” or, on a VERY rare occasion, Red Lobster popcorn shrimp. Now that I’m an adult, I can’t believe all the great fish I missed out on as a kid! (BTW, if you ever make it to Maui, check out Mama’s Fish House restaurant…they tell you not only the catch of the day, but the name of the boat that caught it!)
Kristin W. says
FISH ME!
Recent seafood lover :) Thanks to my husband!
Megan says
FISH ME! LOVE seafood, especially good ole MD blue crabs!! They’re the best!
Kristen says
FISH ME!
I love it ALL!!!
Lauren says
FISH ME!
I love shrimp, lobster, crab, and salmon!
Carrie says
Fish me! I love any seafood! Yum!
Heidi says
FISH ME! I’m pretty into seafood and will eat almost any of it, but am not a fan of oysters, clams, etc. I think it’s the texture…
Ashley says
FISH ME!
I love fish of all kinds- living by the sea has its aquatic advantages and fresh fried seafood is the best!
Caryn says
Fish Me!!! I LOVE Seafood! I live in Seattle so was born and raised eating fish, catching fish, crabs clams etc. Yum!
Ashley says
FISH ME!
Even though I’m a born and bred Pacific Northwest-er, I’m picky on the seafood front. However, I’ve never met a salmon who didn’t look delicious.
Kerry says
FISH ME!
Don’t eat fish… I’m a vegetarian!
Carrie says
FISH ME!
I love fish…although I am not a fan of the way our seas are being fished, and I try to only eat wild salmon and tuna.
I have this ahi salad recipe-
marinade ahi filet in soy sauce, sesame oil(a tablespoon or so) and dip in toasted sesame seeds.
Sear for 3 min on each side
Serve over a spinach salad- or other greens- best dressing
garlic, oil, vinegar, sesame oil, and coleman’s mustard powder
Delish!
Katrina N says
FISH ME!
The first time I tried shrimp was at a friend’s house. My mother had a minor freak out because my dad is allergic to seafood and though I might be too… nope, no problem. I love sea food. I did, however, get sick on salmon the first time I tried it, so I avoided that for a few years but like it now. Especially in sushi rolls. I love sushi rolls!
By the way, I love Charley Harper. So. Very. Much!
Andrea Ross says
I love seafood! Sushi is my favorite meal and I go at least every few weeks :-) when my bro owned a sushi restaurant in RIC I was ecstatic! Can’t ever go wrong with good seafood!
jen says
FISH ME!
I’m guessing you used to live in BK Heights. So sad that they closed that one down. It was way more lax than the Union Square location! Anyhow, I love their stuff. Get it for gifts often for my non-NYC peeps. :)
Lastly, I am not a fan of seafood. Wish I was because it would open the door for many other kinds of meals. Crazy cause my family is fishermen and I have vivid memories of my grandpa chasing me with live lobsters in the kitchen. Perhaps the reason I don’t like it? heheh.
Sam says
FISH ME!
I love sushi!
Sally says
FISH ME! I only eat seafood when I’m by an ocean – which, unfortunately, has become a very rare occurrence.
ROK says
Fish Me
Love seafood.
Tara F says
FISH ME!
I like seafood that is breaded.
Kathy Sanders says
FISH ME! My parents live by the coast and have a great little place with lots of fresh caught seafood we love to cook at home!
Abbey says
FISH ME!!
The only thing I have tried that I haven’t liked is scallops!
Kirsten says
Fish me! I am a lover of seafood! But unlike most things, where I am cheap, seafood needs to be quality, which usually means more pricey. Ever had a cheap scallop or some gross, limp fish? Ew. Love sushi, which gets the best of the fresh fish without being fishy, and well-seared scallops, blackened anything. Okay, almost anything. I hate cod.
KC says
FISH Me!
Lin says
FISH ME! Holla for wild salmon!
Lisa says
FISH ME! I actually don’t like seafood… at all! Except for this one time when I lived far, far up north (we’re talking polar bears) and some locals took me fishing and then had a fish fry. I felt too rude not to eat the fish we had just caught, so I tried and… they were DELICIOUS! But I’ve tried other fish since and it’s not the same. I only like fresh caught fish cooked over an open fire, I guess!
Cara says
FISH ME!
Love all seafood.. especially when it’s deep fat fried — only the healthiest for me!
Lily D says
Fish me!
I try and keep away from fish because both trapping fish and fish farming are really harmful to the environment. I’m not a environment nut, but I do respect the world around us! I hope someday that there will be a healthier way to acquire fish~
Robin E says
FISH ME!
I like a good plate o’ fish and chips once in awhile, and I’ll try fillets of fish when they’re dressed with something tasty, but I’m not the biggest seafood fan on the planet, I admit. (The appeal of shrimp, for instance, is completely lost on me).
jill says
FISH ME!! There is not a fish in the sea that wasn’t delicious to me!
Mariam says
FISH ME – i’ll eat fish as long as there are no bones.. bones make me want to gag..
Kris says
Fish me please!! I love sushi so fish is fine by me, although my husband would def say no (but only to eating fish, he would be down for some awesome dishes ;-)
Anna says
FISH ME!!! I’m a huge seafood fan, though I’m very careful to make sure that I’m only eat the wild stuff. The only seafood I just can’t seem to do is lobster (the whole full animal body this just doesn’t sit right with me)…though I guess they are crustaceans and not fish :)
Tyleet says
Fish me! I love salmon the most, but love fish in general. I adore shrimp, but don’t care for clams. Crab is just too much work!
