Fish - Any hope in making it less....fishy?

Also try Snapper, Swordfish and Ahi. Wildcaught ocean fish tend to be less flaky and texturally are more meaty. You feel like you are eating something with actual substance. To reduce the "fishy" smell and taste, soak the fish in buttermilk for 30-60 minutes prior to cooking. The acidity in the buttermilk will cut the fishyness. My fav fried fish cheat is to use cornbread mix instead of flour. I just dredge the damo fish through the mix and pat it enough to get a light coating then pan fry with coconut oil. You get a liittle swwet a liitle crunch and a really good chew. Hit with some lime juice and you get high protein decdence. (and now I'm hungry).

I've always found that chili powder cuts the fishy taste. Try just steamed salmon with chili powder, garlic, soy sauce, and a little lemon juice. It's low in calories too, which is a serious bonus.

Definitely try white fish and fresh tuna. You could also try shellfish and crustaceans. If it's fresh or even fresh frozen, it shouldn't have a fishy odor or taste. I love pretty much all seafood but I absolutely hate salmon unless its smoked or raw in sushi.

Really just agreeing with several things already said - try cod or mahi mahi, and frozen if you aren't sure how "fresh" the fresh fish is. For the salmon, try adding something spicy like salsa as it helps cut that fatty, fishy taste. I find canned salmon and tuna don't taste that fishy to me, but they smell really fishy! And there's always shrimp if you like it, again frozen is better than iffy fresh.

I'm not a big lover of fish either. I like salmon, tinned and fresh. I like tinned tuna with sweet corn, mayonnaise and pasta. If you make up a lemon sauce so it's nice and creamy, it hides the fishy flavour to fresh fish fillets

Look for a white fish called pollock.
I personally will not touch tilapia. Most tilapia is farm raised in China. Even the ones that are sold at Trader Joes. You can google what they feed them, it's gross.

Is it crazy to think that if you don't like fish that you shouldn't force yourself to eat it? Eat something besides fish.

If you'd like a recipe though, I just drizzle some hot sauce and squeeze fresh lemon over some tilapia fillets, bake them for 10-15 minutes (depending on how many) and throw a slice of pepperjack cheese on top of the fillet when it comes out.

I am not a big fish fan either but when I do eat it I usually select Talapia. I put some creole seasoning on it and cook it on the grill, once done I add some lemon juice and it doesn't have the fishy taste.

Get yourself a great ceviche recipe

Oh my Cod! That's my favorite. Wild-caught frozen has been the least-fishy and most cost-effective for me. My new favorite cod recipe: ohheylookatthattheydeletedthepagerawr... Just look in my recipes, it's there.
Directions: add all but the fish, cilantro and snow peas into a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil, then cover & simmer about 30-35 minutes, until rice is al dente. Sprinkle fish with salt and pepper. Stir in chopped snow peas (sometimes i add shredded carrots). Lay fish on top of rice, top with cilantro, cover and steam about 8 minutes until fish is opaque.

Mahi mahi + the mayo trick someone else mentioned = heaven. I like to herb my mayo if I indulge in this.
Teriyaki salmon. Soy Vay makes a "VeriVeri Teriyaki" that is to die for.
Steelhead trout, if available in your area, is a great alternative to salmon; similar taste, a little less fishy.

We have the same problem in our household, and I agree with the suggestions above. One thing I've learned that hasn't been mentioned yet is that fish is a tender meat that does not take so long to cook as beef or pork. Keep an eye on it and take it out of the oven as soon as it is cooked. If it flakes easily, it's done! It's a lot more pleasant to eat if it isn't tough or dry.

Do you like taste of garlic?

If yes, next time sprinkle some garlic salt/powder on the fish with the other spices you/ others mentioned. That will reduce the fishy smell. Also finely chop coriander over the cooked fish in the end.

I love playing around with spices.

If you wanna try Indian style cooking fish below are the spices to rub on to the fish
1) Turmeric
2) Garlic Paste if you are shallow frying or Garlic Powder/Salt if you are baking or Grilling
3) Red Pepper Powder if you are shallow frying or Red Pepper Flakes if you are baking or Grilling
4) Hint of Lime

** For those who want to go one extra step **
5) a bit of tamarind - very very little bit
I would also add Chopped Coriander.

stick to white fishes, they tend to take the flavor of whatever you put on them a bitter than salmon

i absolutely hate fish... but when i'm cutting it's an integral part of my diet due to the high protein content.

my favorites:
- tilapia cooked on the stove with some flavor god lemon pepper rub & lemon wedges (i try to just lemon the hell out of it so i forget i'm having fish)
- grilled tilapia with a bbq rub
- salmon on the grill... rub some brown sugar & fresh cracked black pepper on it & enjoy. hands down the best fish recipe i've had.

Another vote for frozen. It's always fresh that way. I thaw it in the fridge overnight and cook it next day.
