Why can't you buy a seafood pizza from a shop or supermarket here? It's one big damn puzzler!?!


Question: Lidls do, in fact they had them on offer just the other week- try there!

this is yahoo questions and answers not a pizza shop....

ASDA in Basildon, Essex, UK do some

Its owned by Walmart

why don't you get a frozen cheese pizza and cook it up, then add shrimp or scallops or lobster to it?

Well, I suppose it all depends on where you live.....Food and drinks even vary from west to east coast.

You used to be able to get them at Morrisons but you don't say where you live.

You aren't looking in the right shops then!

Tesco's, Sainsury's and Waitrose all do seafoody pizza - I'd be surprised if M&S didn't do one too!

Not really... its probably got something to do with seafoods shelf-life and probablility of salmonella... oh yeah, and the taste.

Pass. We used to be able to!

I don't think that sounds very good pizza and seafood just don't go together.

It's muchh easier to get fresh seafood like mussels & shrimp & calamari & quick fry it with garlic & olive oil & then just add it with copious amounts of mozarella to any cheap ol pizza base. MMM fresh not frozen, much tastier. With a nice chilled shardonnay mmm shilli!

It depends where 'here' is. Where exactly are you mate?

Ever been to a fisherman's market? Remember that awful smell of fish? What you are smelling is bad fish. A freshly caught fish that has been properly stored has minimal smell. Fish that has been frozen or kept at correct temperatures is safe to eat.

With a pizza, due to the nature of the way it is made, the ingredients that are most likely to spoil are sitting on top. The bread, cheese and tomato paste are at the bottom or middle, and all the meat, vegetables, fruit, and FISH are sitting right on top. Because of that, there is little leeway if the pizza is left out of a cooler or freezer for even a short time. If it is a seafood pizza, the fish would go bad very quickly.

In the USA there is a "strict liability in tort" for bad food. If someone gets sick, it would be up to the market to prove the food was safe, not for you to prove it was dangerous. The fact you got sick is proof enough. No merchant wants to take the chance of causing harm to someone by marketing a seafood pizza. They avoid the whole problem by not selling seafood pizzas in the first place.

For a lot of reasons, and most of those are sound and good.
Most seafood, except for tuna and mackerel, are costly and pizza is a cheap fun food, even a "gourmet" white pizza is still just a pizza.
The tomato paste and the cheese would both tend to overpower the aroma and the taste and the very essence of the gifts of the sea. then we can discuss the spices and the heat used for pizza.
Fresh Salmon, crab, oysters, lobster, marlin, what topping would you like? maybe caviar, or just caught shark!

I think its best you cant buy seafood pizza in the frozen section. Just add baby shrimp or smoked oysters on it. It will taste better this way.

Seafood Pizza, hum sounds as good as fish tacos, bleckkkk!

Maybe its just not a very popular pizza topping so they dont really sell it anywhere. I guess its not that traditional.
