I just made zucchini fritters couple nights ago and I would bet most would like them. Shredded them with potatoes and squeezed most of the water out. Mixed with eggs, garbanzo bean flour and salt. Deep fried and served with yogurt as a dipping sauce. That was my first time making them, but it will be a regular addition to my summer menu.

Try making zucchini enchiladas. Grate the zucchini and mix it up with cheese and sauce. You can add protein if you want.

Well yeah, anything is yummy if it is deep fried.

  Disagree! I cannot stand seafood and I think it's a genetic setting of some sort (similar to those cilantro people) and deep frying doesn't help at all :( It's only ever been palatable twice in my life - as plain white fish at a chinese restaurant with a lot of soy sauce and other stuff. It's probably neutralising a chemical that triggers my warning systems.

    Side tangent: is it all seafood that you dislike? My girlfriend finds all forms of fish and seafood distasteful - fresh water fish, salt water fish, shellfish, the lot. In almost all instances she finds it nauseating, even the smell from a distance. I've not previously encountered anyone with such a broad dislike for seafood. I'm curious what your experiences are.

      Yes, but other freshwater things (crocodile, frog) aren't bad. Shellfish is easily the worst. Ferment seafood ala belachan or SE Asian fish sauce and it's basically the worst thing I've ever smelled. My personal belief is that I am extremely sensitive to one of the chemicals that shows up as fish gets old. I smell it much better and earlier than most people so even "fresh" fish smells like it should be thrown out. On the plus side, I can tell you which shops have the freshest fish :) One near us had nearly no smell, so it must have been good. One of the stories my wife remembers is when we asked at a Chinese restaurant about whether the stir fried green beans had any seafood (they often have rice-sized dried shrimp). We were told no. I smelled it coming when they were a few tables away from us still, but the others at the table couldn't smell a thing and had to look very closely to confirm. Editing to add: I'm not unadventurous or anything of the sort - I even like durian! But people seem to constantly think I just need to get used to an unfamiliar flavour.

      My wife has the opposite: she's a broad eater who likes seafood, but is allergic to cod. No other pelagic white fish, just cod.

  I generally do not like zucchini, but this zucchini soup [1] is terrific, and extraordinarily healthy (I sub yogurt for sour cream). 1: https://www.skinnytaste.com/cream-of-zucchini-soup-1-ww-point/ https://www.skinnytaste.com/cream-of-zucchini-soup-1-ww-poin...
