TYRING TO LIKE FISH--IDEAS???

If your fish are full of bones, buy them somewhere else.
Get some fresh or frozen tilapia fillets.
Please chicken broth in a steamer and steam the fish. Serve with lemon or pasta or make a sandwich.

Good Luck.

the easiest fish to introduce yourself to is sole, you can buy it fresh or frozen as fillets, the smell is very mild, and you can bake it with a little lemon juice for 8-10 min and done!

I have made this for everyone i know who "hates fish" and it has always gone over exceptionally well.

Other option that are quick and non-fishy: Haddock, talapia.

Rainbow trout is one of my very favorite, i buy the whole fish and put sliced lemons inside it with rosemary and bake it. With this one though you do have lots of bones, but its worth it

Good Luck and congrats on being open to to trying something new!

So sorry to hear about your heart attack, but I'm really glad you are looking to change your diet for the better. Trader Joes has a nice no-salt seasoning called something like Seasoning - 21 Salute. Not sure if you have them in your area--if not, it sounds like the Mrs. Dash stuff us similar. I really love salmon with miso paste. There are recipes on the internet for good recipes, as it's miso paste with a few other ingredients. Good luck!

If you're trying to accustom yourself to eating fish you should start trying milder tasting varieties like white fish (cod,haddock,pollock etc) and disguise the taste with herbs,spices and lemon. Most people I know that aren't keen on fish find salmon 'too fishy' so I would avoid that until you become more used to eating fish.

I hate fish too.. Gorton's is the best:)

I eat Mahi Mahi everyday for dinner. No bones, no fishy taste, easy to make and very low in calories.

If you can stand Salmon... It's the best for you. I now love salmon, but admit it took me a while to acquire the taste.

Dolphin, tilapia, shrimp, scallops...those are my favorites.

Not too fishy tasting and easy to cook a ton of different ways.

Dolphin???

I pretty much hate fish also. BUT I can eat tuna,salmon,cod and talapia. I don't eat them often. Tuna mostly out of the can (in water). Try baking your salmon in wine. My husband took some wine we had and cooked our salmon in it to get rid of it. It turned out great. I hate the whole fishy smell thing too. White fish like cod and talapia are not so fishy tasting. Other than that just bury your fish in something you like. Pico De Gallo on Salmon tastes really good too. Good Luck with the fish!

I am not a fish fan either. But I love Mahi Mahi. Doesn't have that super strong fishy taste to me!

I'm going to try a new recipe out tonight. Using a filet of Haddock - EVOO, Minced onion, Minced garlic clove, Tomato sauce (or pasta sauce), stewed tomato's. [Call's for shredded mozzarella cheese]

I've also thrown together something myself before and it turned out full of flavor!
Using parchment paper - place a white fish fillet of your choice (I used Basa) spread a tsp of EVOO on the fillet ,sprinkle with some herbs of your choice. (Mr dash low sodium would bring a lot of flavor to the dish) Top fish with diced tomato's, chick peas, carrots.. (any kind of vegetable really). A little lemon juice too.. Once you added everything - Fold the parchment paper over the fish and fold the ends to make a pocket. Place in a oven safe dish or pan and bake for roughly 25-30 Minutes.. The parchment paper will poof up and brown. You can take a fork and see if its flaky to know when it's finished.

wrapping it with parchment makes the fish cook, the juices boil and steam the veggies. It's suggested to eat hot right out of the oven. When its most full of flavor!

I've really love fish. its grown on me in the last year.
Good Luck.

I use to HATE fish. . . and now my favorite food is sushi. haha. I like to bake a salmon fillet in the oven swimming in lemon juice and lemon pepper seasoning.

I too am not a fish eater. However, with my fiance's support I can now eat talapia. He bakes it with small amount of butter, little seasoning and a drop of lemon juice. I can only eat it because there is not a fishy taste to it, at all - at least to me. Best of luck. Try different things. Thats the fun part of trying to change your lifestyle (eating habits) you can to try different things.

White fish (ex. Swai/Basa, Flounders, etc) have low odor, and you can always fillet your own, or buy them already fillet. Lemon juice take away the fishy small of a lot of fishes.

Buy fish fillets so there are no bones.

Do not overcook fish, this is usually what creates the fishy taste. Salmon cooked medium well or rarer (more rare??) will have very little fishy taste, but if you overcook it, it will.

White fish, such as cod, haddock, orange roughy, tilapia, etc., is geverally milder in taste, and work very well with sauces.

Try fish in a casserole or soup.

I don't dislike fish, but I don't crave it either. So this old Portuguese recipe that dresses it up is good for me, too. I usually buy cod loins. To prepare, slice and then steam a waxy potato (red or white) and then layer it into the bottom of a small baking dish. Top with the cod loin. Separately prepare a sauce- in a teaspoon of olive oil sautee some onion and garlic, some chopped green pepper and 2-3 tomatoes (canned or fresh depending on the season). Add any herbs you want- basil is good- and a few chopped black olives. Spoon the sauce over the fish and then bake it until the fish is cooked through. The sauce is nicely seasoned so it disguises the taste of the cod beneath. And it's a one dish meal- you've got your carb, protein, fat and vegetables all on one plate.
Good luck!

I NEED HELP FOR FISH!!
I recently had a heart attack and a need to incorporate fish into my diet but not a fish eater. I hate messing with bones and need to keep the fishy smell to a minimum any delicious ideas for me to try--willing to try anything.

The Fishy Smell/Taste should only be present if the fish isn't fresh. Buy the freshest fish you can possible find. Preferably never frozen and even caught that day if you're in an area where that's possible...you'll learn to love it.

Tilapia is def. the way to go! It is a very un-fishy fish. I never liked fish before, then for some reason, I tried tilapia, and liked it. The more I ate it, the more I liked it. Now I LOVE it (even crave it), and it has lead me to trying other fish, such as salmon, and catfish, which I now like as well. You can get it deboned. Try it with some blackening spice, or lemon pepper, and bake in the oven...super yummy!

If you are not a fish eater, I would start with a mild white fish like tilapia. It does not have a "fishy" flavor. I like to buy big bags of individually frozen fillets so I don't have to worry about cleaning the fish. They thaw out in like two minutes if you run warm water over it, and can be pan fried in less than 10 minutes... Easy and quick weeknight meal.

I like to pan fry my tilapia with a little olive oil. I season with garlic powder and lemon pepper seasoning. Cook about 4 mins on each side. When it's done, squeeze some fresh lemon juice on it. Really good if you sautee some onions and spinach with the fish.

Here's a good recipe for baked parmesan tilapia: http://www.rachaelraymag.com/Recipes/rachael-ray-magazine-recipe-search/five-ingredient-recipes/parmesan-crusted-tilapia
