Mushrooms
Oysters
Shrimp

Salmon was considered low end until the fish stalks of many types of fish were depleted. Now all fish is expensive and it doesn't really matter what it is.
snails..yuck!
Truffles and Morel mushrooms

oysters

Ok. I am not really sure how to answer this question....but Chitterlings (gross to me) are considered a delicacy to many blacks and were once considered garbage. I personally would still consider them garbage, but to each his/her own.
