Fish..if you don't like fish! :(

same here, i can not stand the smell!

If you don't like it, I'd suggest getting those nutrients from elsewhere. But if you're really determined... try some fresh fish. It isn't supposed to smell like that.

I'm exactly the same! Canned tuna and little prawns are my limit.
I recently tried smoked haddock fillet and liked that, it it is not as over powering as other fish. I still wouldn't choose it over something else though!

Oh yuck, salmon is the stinkiest fish!

I am the same-can't stand to eat something that doesn't smell good.

I do like tilapia, grouper, orange roughy, and cod. Those don't have the overpowering taste and smell.

I used to hate fish and did not eat it for about 5 years. I have reintroduced it to my diet and don't mind most fish (as long as they don't taste horribly fishy!). I still avoid shellfish (except for crab... yum!). I actually started eating fish again because I tried sushi and really enjoyed it. I guess because its consistency is different from cooked shrimp. Sushi's consistency kind of makes me think of lunch meat and it doesn't have too strong a smell since it's not cooked.

I eat other fish now too and tend to have them on the med rare side. I only buy fresh fish, like tuna steaks or salmon filets. You can find pretty decent sales at the store sometimes too.

Edit: embarrassing its/it's typo, nooo!

Cod, haddock and flounder are all delicious mild tasting (not fishy) fish Fresh is preferable, but frozen can be good too. Be careful not to overcook!

There are many types of fish - and the variety range is immense.

Try going to the fresh fish counter of your market and asking them what they recommend (freshest, etc.) - tell them what you didn't like and why - they can steer you clear of similar items and maybe get you to try something you wouldn't normally try. And ask them about preparation options.

Here are some of my favorites:

Basa - very mild, thin fillets that cook fast - I like to quickly saute them with a little white cornmeal in olive oil
Wahoo - similar to Mahi Mahi IMHO but thicker, which allows you to cook them like you would a pork tenderloin - I like to to do a herb/salt crust and grill them over high heat, leaving the center medium or medium rare
Tilapia - very versatile, very tasty - my favorite method is to grill filets with just a little salt on well-oiled grates (otherwise they stick) - while you're at it, grill some squash, zucchini and other veggies as a side dish
Scallops - because they're scallops - (drooling now)
Catfish - blackened - because is there any other way to eat it?
Dover sole - similar to basa - extremely mild - I like to make pinwheels with spinach & cheese or layer it in a casserole with tomatoes, oregano and jack cheese
Tuna - Grilled or pan seared to rare or medium rare - then slice it thin and serve on a salad
Cioppino - Italian stew of shellfish, whitefish, shallots, garlic, white wine, basil, tomatoes, etc. - Fabulous

If the fish is fresh, don't be afraid to leave the center moist (medium) or even rare, but it depends on the fish - Tuna IMO is delicious rare or raw, but inedible if cooked through - but catfish is kind of mushy and unpleasant if not cooked through.

A final note: aside from a few exceptions, if you fish smells fishy, it's not fresh

I love, love, love that you caught it!

Never mind - I just found the 'Edit' button.

Edit - and I've just tried it

TILAPIA!!!!! With garlic and (lightly added) butter, it's DELICIOUS!!!!!

this ...

Swordfish, shark and tuna are all meaty fishes. Sometimes the darker part of the meat has a strong taste to it but most of the meat has a similar texture to pork chops if well cooked.

My personal favorite is salmon but it has to be cooked in a strong sauce (use A1 chicago steakhouse marinade) and cooked through. I'll eat it raw in sushi rolls no problem but it has to be fully cooked when plated as a filet - just personal preference.

Speaking of sushi, a friend of mine hates cooked fish but she's pretty ok with sushi. We think it has something to do with the cooking process releasing oils which change the flavor and smell of the meat. Maybe you're the same?

Only fish I really like is tilapia. There are a few others that I can choke down if necessary, but I'll eat tilapia because I like it.

Try Tilapia and/or Cod both a very mild fish (no fishy taste or smell)... I broil it and then add alittle salsa on top with steamed veggies.... I have always hated fishy tasting fish too and these I can eat with no problem.... We buy our cod and tilapia in bulk at Sams Club.... They are individually wrap so you only need get out what you use...

Me too!

I had Tilapia for first time last night and love it,,, normally I am not crazy for fish but tilapia is very good, easy to cook too and like this person says,, get it frozen and it is individually wrapped! 4 oz is 97 calories and 21g protien

Sorry for this but I got this in email yesterday and I had to post it,,,,,,,
