Fish Recommendations

LeggyAmericanGirl · October 2012

I am trying to find more fish selections for my protein portions. I would love some recommendations.

1. Allergic to shellfish so no shrimp, lobster, crawfish, scallops, etc.
2. Allergic to clams and mussels and the like
3. Allergic to Salmon

Fish I don't like
1. American catfish
2. Cod
3. Flounder

Fish I do like
1. Swai
2. Tilapia (can never spell it but its great as a taco LOL)

Any fish that will hold up during a pan saute with breadcrumb crust is welcomed. Im not big on a really fishy tasting fish.

Thanks for any recommendations

I'm not sure about putting it in breadcrumbs as in my opinion that would spoil it but I would recommend seabass or sea bream. Seabass has quite a delicate flavour so isn't over 'fishy', whereas sea bream has a 'drier' meatier flavour. I have no idea what swai is let alone what it tastes like though I think I have had tilapia once.

Hope that helps.

Salmon, mahi mahi, tuna steaks, shark, and bass.

Have you tried Hallibut? Its a meatier fish so it holds up well to a pan saute & breadcrumb crusting. It also doesn't have a "fishy" taste to it either, very yummy.

I believe that the key to Tilapia is how you season it. Season it well, and you've got some good meals.

Halibut.

We like tuna steak marinated in light Italian dressing over night then grilled. It is the only fish my hubby will eat.

Haddock I like sautéed with lemon pepper or garlic

Pollock baked

I remember my dad cooking swordfish when I was younger and I liked it just make sure to remove the skin before cooking it, my dad says the skin gives it a funky flavor.

I have the same allergies, makes joining friends for Chinese dicey sometimes. I also don't like fishy fish. I started eating tillapia and my new favorite is basa loin. I found them at costco on sale one day in the freezer section and it is even less fishy then the tillapia. I put it in a pan and pour realmon lemon over it, cover it with Mrs. Dash and sliced onions, then I pile fresh spinach on top, throw on a lid and walk away for 20 min. So easy and so good. To my surprise my whole family loves it and actually requests it for dinners. Each meaty loin only 90 calories. It has become a regular part of the grocery list.

Halibut definitely!

Well, you already listed the two main ones I eat, Swai and Talapia. But try this. Get some Chia seeds (preferably organic) and grind them in a coffee grinder (or find them already grounded) and dip your fish in the chia powder. I love it that way and is super healthy. If you have trouble getting the Chia to stick to the filet, then try just a touch of Eggbeaters or Egg whites to coat the fish first, adds almost no calories. That's what I eat. Then again, I also love shellfish, but you can't have that. If you can find it in your stores, Rainbow Trout is excellent. I used to catch and eat fresh, but still not bad in the stores.

Tuna or Mahi Mahi....two of my favorites!!

I don't know if you can eat trout if you're allergic to salmon (it's also a salmonid), but I'm mildly allergic to either salmon or the dye they put in it, and I can eat trout with no problems. We eat quite a bit of it.
