 My favorites are shell fish. Likely since I'm from the Pacific Northwest.  Dungeness crab is at the top of the list followed by oysters.

My receipt for Oysters is:

1 Quart/Pint medium sized Oysters
1 to 2 packs of regular saltine crackers
3 to 4 eggs beatened in a bowl

1. Rinse Oysters thoroughly in cold water
2. In a gallon zip lock bag crush saltine crackers as fine as possible. I use a roller pin.
3. Place a portion of the crushed crackers into a bowl.
4. In a frying pan with cooking oil turned to medium.
5. Place rinsed oysters into the egg bowl.
6. Bread each oyster in the crushed cracker bowl and place into the frying pan on medium heat.
7. Cook until each oyster is golden brown on each side.

Note: work with 2 hands.  One hand used only in the egg bowl and the other hand only used the crush cracker bowl.
