I have never been a big seafood eater. I love crab and shrimp but fish has never been a big draw to me. I use to like fried catfish (but only at one specific place where it didn't taste so...lake water-y. When i was little i would eat fish sticks. What is a good fish/way to prepare it other than fried that doesn't taste real strong and , well, fishy?

baked white fish of any kind is really good. Cod, Tilapia, Swai, and salmon. YUM YUM. Freeze a lemon and grate the lemon over the fish after it has been cooked. YUM !0

Tilapia is about the mildest fish taste (at a reasonable price) that I can think of.
You can bake, or my favorite way is just saute in butter with salt/pepper and lemon juice. Add garlic if you like that flavor too!
Good for you for trying something new!0 -
I LOVE tilapia sauteed in a little real butter with some lemon pepper. YUMMO!!!!0

in soup 0

Thank you everyone! So i have a novice question...how do you know when its done cooking?0

Steamed or Japanese nitsuke style.
I also like tuna and salmon raw or seared.
Salmon is also excellent in a ceviche.
kind regards,

I'm not a huge seafood fan either, but I do like mild white fish. As another poster said, tilapia is pretty mild & reasonably priced. As many have said, we also love to have it baked. Mix some light mayo & dijon mustard & spread on the fish. Sprinkle with parmesan cheese - if you use the really good stuff & grate it yourself, you won't need as much, so you'll save some calories. Bake at 400 for a few minutes - maybe 10, depending on the thickness of your fillets?? - until it's cooked through & flaky. You can also broil it for a minute or two at the end to bubble up & brown the topping. Sprinkle with dill, if desired. Fast, easy & VERY yummy!0

Luckily, seafood is my favorite cuisine. I eat trout, salmon, clams and crab pretty often, because it's cheap. Only costs a fishing license, gear and bait and I can have as many as I can catch. On occasion, just for something different, I'll buy some tilapia fillets. Ciao, Marc0

if cooking tilapia it colors similar to white chicken meat(breast) and I started out just skillet cooking it with a touch of olive oil, garlic, lemon n pepper. I would cook it till it literally fell apart then mix in w/e veggies or grain I was having. I've also just ate it lightly seasoned by itself(I also do that with tuna) Really yummy imo. 0

Why eat fish if you don't like the taste of fish? I hate brussels sprouts, and so I don't eat them. Yeah, I'm sure there's a recipe out there to make them taste good enough to choke down, but I don't see any reason to. A turd is still a turd even if you deep fry it and wrap it in bacon strips.0

Y'all are great! Thankya kindly.0

My husband and I just had wild Alaskan sockeye salmon for the first time ever. He grilled it with a glaze of brownsugar, pineapple juice and some ginger. I was surprised that it was so tasty. I don't like really fishy tasting fish and this was pretty good. I've heard that Atlantic salmon is not as good, though, and farm raised is muddy tasting. (I don't eat any farm-raised fish anyway - too polluted.)
Wild, ocean white fish is the mildest and best-tasting to me. Although my brother-in-law caught a fresh water trout up in Mammoth (California) when we were camping one year and pan-fried it in a little bit of butter. That was a little morsel of heaven...but maybe I was just hungry from the long hike.0 -
SALMON! it is my favourite in the world, raw, fried, poached, baked... even still wriggling I'd probably still eat it :P
You can fry it without using any oils at all - the natural fats come out (these are super good fats!). I put mine on a non stick pan on medium heat and cover with a lid so it steams the top.
You know it is cooked when the flesh goes from bright orange to a more pastel orange - you can see if you open up the fillet and check inside. The pieces also start to fall off easily rather than the fish staying together in one solid piece.
IT IS AMAZING (I am hungry now from writing this) and I eat a fillet every day when I'm not travelling (unlike now
) 0 -
Lol baconmd! I don't hate it, but Im getting kind of tired of my usual so i wanted to try something new. I've also been unsure of myself in preparing it. I was the same way with chicken and pork too for awhile lol.0

Thank you everyone! So i have a novice question...how do you know when its done cooking?
Fish is done when you can lightly probe it with a fork and it separates pretty easy. If you're not quite sure it's done, you can always throw it in the nuke box for a minute. Ciao, Marc0 -
I do a broiled sweet and spicy salmon that is awesome and super easy! Mix 1 tbls Old Bay seasoning with 1 tbls brown sugar and sprinkling on salmon filets (pressing down so it sticks) and broil for about 6-8 minutes (depending on how thick the filets are). The brown sugar mixture caramelizes and makes a sweet and spicy crust on the fish.0

answers here are already spot on. but, yeah, white fish is probably a go-to for you. tilapia, for sure. maybe swai, also. halibut might be good with some clarified butter.
personally, I prefer to grill my trout straight off the line with some salt n pepper, butter and a bit of onion and/or garlic ...0 -
Well, you did say you want fish that doesn't taste like fish.. :P I don't understand the concept. Like, "I want peanut butter butter that doesn't taste peanutty!" Then you don't want peanut butter...Lol baconmd! I don't hate it, but Im getting kind of tired of my usual so i wanted to try something new. I've also been unsure of myself in preparing it. I was the same way with chicken and pork too for awhile lol.
Honestly, the best-tasting fish out there are the fatty fishes, like salmon and trout. Pick up the freshest rainbow trout fillet you can find. Don't get frozen fish, it's not the same. Catch your fish yourself, ideally. Trout, ideally. Then, take the fillet, fry it in a little oil (coconut is what I use - not much, just enough so it doesn't stick to the pan), and put some spices on it. I would recommend a cajun mix, or, my favorite, LOTS of dried dill. If you like a bit of spice to it, put some cilantro, cayenne, garlic powder, etc. There are a lot of possibilities. It's not fancy or difficult, but it tastes great. The fish is done when it changes from a slightly translucent red/pink/orange to opaque. Don't overcook it. Baking works too, but I find it is faster and tastier to pan-fry with just a few grams of oil.
Even better, if you catch a trout, just head and gut it, spray it with oil, and toss it on the BBQ! You could put BBQ sauce on it if you want, it's great (sometimes I use BBQ sauce in a pan too).
I also have this recipe I blogged a while back that you may like, but it detracts from the awesomeness of the plain fish fillet, in my opinion.. but then, I actually love the taste of fish (the good ones, anyhow - I'm not big on tilapia, cod, perch, pike, etc). :P

SALMON<3<3<3<3 I had that for dinner tonight actually and all that was done to it (thanks to my girlfriends mom) was baked in the oven with some seasoning on top. I AM OBSESSED!! I could eat it every day of my life, no lie.0
-
I know it sounds silly...i guess by saying what i said i just meant it as requesting some milder fish because kind of like i mentioned in my earlier post about not liking the catfish that has a stronger lake water flavor, does that make sense? Im a complicated being, bacon 0
-
I like it baked or broiled with salsa.0

Side note all, feel free to add me as a friend! Also, how do you get your ticker to your replies?0

Figured out the ticker answer lol0

I'm not a huge seafood lover but I really like the taste of Salmon and Haddock0
-
Try seasoned tilapia. Not as "fishy" as most fish. I relate to your post. I have tried so hard to like salmon, but I still don't0
-
Yeah, it will probably only taste "fishy" if it was cheap.
Get some decent salmon or tilapia and it should not taste fishy. Fish sticks and fried catfish can taste fishy. I think.0
