I've lived there for about 15 years, since elementary school until I left there for college. The time contains too many precious memories with my family and friends. I would never forget those time.

× I like almost everything, but it is the seafoods there I love the most.
✓ I like almost everything, but it is the seafood there I love the most.
The word 'seafood' is an uncountable noun and does not have a plural form. Using 'seafoods' is incorrect. The correct form is 'seafood' when referring to it generally.
× The time contains too many precious memories with my family and friends.
✓ The time contains too many precious memories with my family and friends.
This sentence is grammatically correct; no plural or singular issue detected here.
× I would never forget those time.
✓ I would never forget those times.
The word 'time' here refers to multiple occasions or periods, so the plural form 'times' should be used. 'Those' indicates plural, so 'time' must agree in number.
× Besides, the food there is not only delicious but also nutritious, which are good for the growth of young generation.
✓ Besides, the food there is not only delicious but also nutritious, which is good for the growth of the young generation.
The relative pronoun 'which' refers to 'food', which is singular, so the verb should be 'is' not 'are'. Also, 'young generation' needs the definite article 'the' to specify the group.
