I like to use my 50 f/1.8 for
1. Portraits. Good contrast, colour and sharpness, and with the crop factor it is a great focal length
2. Low light situations
3. Anywhere that I want superior sharpness, bokeh, etc. and have time and space to compose my shot.
As for your strawberries, just because you can open up, doesn't mean you have to. Your 50, if it's like mine, is probably sharpest f/4 through 8 or 11, so don't hesitate to use it stopped down.
