What types of fish are good to eat besides Salmon? I used to eat Tilipia but I heard it was bad for you. Is it true?

    The only fish I eat is tuna. I love to have a good tuna steak.

    Haddock and Cod are good too - Salmon and these two are the main fish I buy. (Also have canned tuna - strangely enough I have never had fresh tuna, yet lol)

    I don’t know if Tilapia is bad for you but it tastes like dirt to me, so yea, bad!

    ^QFT. Tilapia wins the "most disgusting fish" award IMO. Yuck.

    Agreed, I love most fish, but won't eat it. I've heard it's fish for people who dislike fish, since apparently it's considered super mild tasting, I don't know, I've always found it just unappealing.

    I'm with you on sashimi, and I'll add raw oysters, and for cooked my favorites are clams, shrimp, salmon, trout, halibut, cod, tuna steak (but not canned tuna), mackerel, and really too many more to mention. Also an anchovy fan. I had a bad experience with catfish that turned me off it, but I suppose I'd revisit if someone I trusted prepared it.

    I don’t like catfish either but I had an appetizer called Salt and Pepper Catfish from Vietnamese restaurant. No bones, deep fried, nicely seasoned, it was delicious!

    Grouper is a delicious fish baked or broiled. My favorite is stuffed grouper from Lucky's

    OP, eat all the fish if you like it.

    I think Marlin has the highest concentration of mercury so only eat Marlin once a week.

    I am a very fussy seafood eater and I think Tilapia is disgusting. The one time I prepared it, it was tough and stringy. Fish! Never again.

    I like Haddock and Cod as mild tasting fish, I drizzle with lemon juice and spices and bake it in parchment just until it flakes.
