FISH

How about currying it if you don't like the flavour? Goan fish curry is delicious. White round fish tend to be milder in flavour. Don't know where you're based but cod and haddock would be popular choices in the UK. Just make sure you buy from sustainable sources...

If you're not too skilled in the kitchen you could do something basic like adding it to a pre-prepared sauce and cooking it through.

I like salmon sauteed in a pan with sirarcha seasoning and crushed red pepper. I like my foods a little spicy.

I make seafood chowder but I dont use cream, can use milk instead and thicken w cornflour. Onion and garlic (can use crushed garlic in a jar if not fresh) gives a good flavour to the chowder.
Also fish patties are nice which is basically tinned fish mixed with spring onion, egg, anything else you'd like to add in for flavour, mashed potato then fry in a little olive oil.

I like
- Smoked mackerel sometimes, also grilled or fried mackerel. I buy the smoked stuff prepared from a grocery store, and the grilled stuff from a local restaurant, honestly, just bc that place does it so well.
- Pan-fried trout (I can make this )
- BBQ'd sardines, Portuguese style. They're bigger than the canned ones. Just grilled w brine & lemon. (I also go to a restaurant for these.) You can grill any fish that way, though, always tastes good
- Baked salmon (just the old foil trick)
- Salmon & cream cheese sandwiches (on a flatbread w capers & sliced red onion)
- Tuna sandwiches (I use half-fat mayo, green onions, and sometimes celery)
- Masala fish (Apollo style, for example) - basically it's spicy fried & battered fish. I haven't tried to make it and haven't had it in a while - used to get it from a GREAT restaurant that closed down a few years ago.
- English pub style fried (& battered) fish
- Fake bouillabase (a real recipe here). I saw in another thread that you're watching dietary cholesterol, though? I guess it's unclear whether it matters for everyone, but Shellfish/shrimp apparently have a lot. If they're ok:
- Mussels in white wine sauce
- Shrimp & scallops sauteed in oil w garlic, green onions, paprika, lemon, salt (can add a bit of white wine if you want)

I really hate fish - all seafood actually, except shrimp. My dr has put me on a very strict diet to lower my cholesterol and he would like for me to start eating fish, so I was wondering if anyone can recommend a fish that I might be able to tolerate, and a way to cook it? I have zero experience. Never purchased it, never cooked it. TFS in advance

Maybe you could take a page out of the "too precious for vegetables book" and make chocolate milk - fish smoothies.

I missed it...what is wrong with farm raised?

I love chocolate fish but that doesn't count, sorry, hehe

Cod loin baked with pesto; salmon fillets marinated in soy sauce, ginger, garlic and lemon juice then grilled; monkfish tails wrapped in parma ham and baked; tuna steaks marinated in lime juice, chilli and garlic; kedgeree with smoked haddock. Go to your local fishmonger or store with a wet fish counter and talk to them about things to try and recipe ideas.

Mahi mahi filets have a very mild taste I just bake it with a little bit of pineapple salsa

It depends on the farming methods. Some fish are pumped full of antibiotics to prevent spread of disease because they are raised in cramped quarters. Some fish/seafood farming practices are also very bad for the environment.

I find that Talapia has the least fish taste....just season and bake 20 mins. or 30mins for firmer texture.

Tilapia and basa are the fish that I've found are the most tasteless. Which is good if you don't like the taste! I had trout once that was also very chickeny but I wonder if it was just that trout (maybe it was river trout - it was fresh caught) since other people usually find it strong.

Try making fish tacos perhaps! Lots of other favours cover the taste. I also like shellfish like lobster, crab and shrimp.

People always recommended salmon to me and told me it was mild.. meanwhile I find it incredibly strong!! I've only just gotten used to it. People also say sole. I also find sole strong.
