A mixed seafood platter with scallops, prawns and bits of fried octopus
Gator burgers
Ostrich burgers
Camel tagine (YUM!)
oh, and to you guys pinnekjøtt might be exotic:
Pinnekjøtt (stick meat) Dried and salted lambs meat (then put in water overnight to remove much of but not by far all of the salt) then steamed (traditionally on wooden sticks to keep it off the water in the pan).

You know what a crawfish is, right? That's a lobster after taxes. 
+7 points for CallmeQ for making the distinction between sushi and sashimi, which are NOT the same thing. Around west TN where I live if you say "sushi" you immediately get a reply of "eeww, raw fish!"
Most of my gastronomic experiments have been the result of frequenting the salvage grocery. Never know what you'll find there. I don't go to save money, I go to find neat stuff I will never find at the regular supermarket.
Did you know the cashew is actually a fruit with a drupe on the end? The drupe is what they roast, salt, pack and sell to the USA. The fruit is rather sour. I found this out when I got curious about a jar of cashew juice I saw at the salvage grocery.
Did you know in Britain they have a candy bar called the Ritter Sport Bar? It is specifically shaped to be easily fit in the pocket of a sport jacket. And their dark chocolate bar with whole hazelnuts is delicious!
There's a company I wish I could buy out and own. It is called the Wicked Good company. They make things you wouldn't normally think of making, but they are delicious - like caramel/mustard sauce. Never would have thought of combining those, but the result was... well... wicked good!
Getting away from the salvage grocery: I recently got interested in goat cheese, as I am allergic to the kind from cows. I found there is a whole universe of goat cheeses. The semi-soft, acerbic chevre is what most people think of as goat cheese, but the double creme brie was much better. In fact goat brie tasted better to me than the cow brie you get in most stores. I also found a goat cheese that tastes just like parmesan. Then there's the Drunken Goat Cheese, a soft cheese bathed in wine. I swear I was not drunk and it was still delicious.

(if you ever try it be aware that it may contain whey from both goats and cows)

Brunost is nothing compared to pultost or gammalost. (two bad smelling cheeses). And don't get me started on rakfisk and smalahåve. (rotten trout and smoked sheep head).
The most exotic food I have tried, though, was in China, were I ate dog. It was supposed to be good against bed-wetting, as the boy in the house still did that at the age of 7. I don't think I will eat dog again...... I am not wetting my bed. Yet.
