Today, my mother asked me to buy fish for dinner. I don't like to go to the seafood area in the market because I'm afraid of living fish. Every time they flip, they almost give me a heart attack. I don't like to deal with shrimps either. Once, when my mother was cooking shrimps, one of them accidentally fell and needled her foot. The wound turned into a 9cm large bruise within an hour. We then went to the hospital. The doctor couldn't believe that wound was caused by a little shrimp and suspected that what she actually meant was "lobster" (Shrimp and lobster have similar names in Chinese). Since then, I have reduced eating seafood and preferred frozen seafood.
