Answers from a German person
1 I think most Germans would like to eat a
nice piece of veal.
2 I think salmon is the most popular fish in
Germany.
3 I don’t eat seafood, but I think it would
be crab.
4 I don’t eat any seafood because I don’t
like the taste of it very much.

don’t like to eat the insides of animals.
