Favourite way to eat fish?

I like salmon, trout, and halibut the most I think.
Since salmon is so east to get and cheaper than halibut, I generally make it like the following:
1. Cover with a spice blend (cajun seasoning, cumin/coriander/cayenne/salt/pepper are my faves)
2. Sear in a hot pan over medium heat on both sides
3. Finish with lemon, lime, chimichurri or mango salsa (or vinegar)
I think tilapia tastes funny, so I try not to eat it. I don't like catfish either. Most other fish works for me. I don't like shellfish though0 -
I like salmon, halibut, cod and shrimp. I love putting shrimp in stir fry with whatever veg is on hand. Made mango curry shrimp the other nite. For fish, i either put a few tsps of salsa or some lemon juice and pepper and bake til yummy.0

Salmon fillet rubbed with mild curry paste and barbecued, served over a bed of greens with a balsamic dressing and scattered with green onions...may sound strange, but is really delicious.0

Fish tacos are my favorite!
Cod is the best but I've had tilapia and it's good too.0 -
I just started making this miso glazed salmon -- which works well on a variety of other fish as well... talapia, cod, tuna, halibut, etc.
•Vegetable oil, for coating the aluminum foil
•1/2 cup mirin
•1/2 cup red miso paste
•1/4 cup packed light brown sugar
•1/4 cup soy sauce
•2 tablespoons peeled and grated fresh ginger (from about a 2-inch piece)
•1 salmon side (about 3 1/2 pounds), skin on and pin bones removed
•2 medium scallions, thinly sliced (white and light green parts only)
•2 teaspoons white sesame seeds, toasted
INSTRUCTIONS
Heat the oven to broil and arrange a rack in the middle. Line a large rimmed baking sheet with foil and coat with vegetable oil; set aside.
Whisk the mirin, miso, brown sugar, soy sauce, and ginger in a medium bowl until combined. Reserve 1/3 cup of the miso mixture in a small bowl; set aside.
Rinse the salmon under cold running water, pat dry with paper towels, and place on the baking sheet skin-side down. Using a sharp knife, score the salmon with parallel 1/4-inch-deep diagonal cuts spaced 2 inches apart. Brush the salmon with all of the reserved 1/3 cup miso mixture. (If the side of salmon is longer than the baking sheet, tuck the tail end of the fish under itself after the miso mixture has been applied.) Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
Set a small fine-mesh strainer over a small bowl and strain the remaining miso mixture. Discard the solids and set the strained sauce aside.
Remove the fish from the refrigerator and discard the plastic wrap. Broil the salmon on the baking sheet, rotating once or twice, until it’s just opaque in the center and a golden brown crust has formed, about 10 to 12 minutes.
Remove from the oven, transfer to a serving platter, and sprinkle with the scallions and sesame seeds. Serve immediately, passing the strained sauce.0 -

SWAI!!!!! I love Swai!! you can bread it and cook in a skillet, bake it, put it in soup! It is so so good! And cheap!!!0

Turn it into a piece of steak
(I HATE seafood). 0 -
Mmmm sushi. I'm super picky about my fish and tend to stick to tuna, swordfish, and mahi-mahi (yum, mercury). I much prefer sea invertebrates to fish (escargot, crab, octopus, lobster). I absolutely cannot stand salmon and shrimp though. They have this bizarre sweet taste that apparently no one else ever seems to notice.0
-
Great ideas. I have tried cooking in coconut oil as a change of pace. Kids love it with mango salsa on the side.0
-
I loooove all types of seafood.
Swordfish--i like to cut it into smallish pieces and just dredge it in some panko or breadcrumbs (I don't egg it first, just the moisture of the fish) and then cook it in a pan with some olive oil. Take it out, then deglaze the pan with some red wine vinegar or apple cider vinegar and add onions. Add salt, pepper and just a bit of sugar...sometimes I cook the onions first so they're more caramelized, then remove when I'm cooking the swordfish, then add them back in after I deglaze. Add the swordfish back at the end. Put some lemon on top if you like it...soooo good. Very traditional Sicilian preparation.
tuna over pasta....this is a good quick meal with canned tuna, though fresh works, too. I use good italian tuna in olive oil. Basically, cook pasta (I prefer linguine for this), drain, add the tuna along with some capers, lemon juice and black pepper. SO fast and easy, and really good.
Last night I got some lemon sole, just put it in the oven with some olive oil, garlic and a few spices. Ate it for dinner with the brown rice and a little yogurt sauce (almost like a greek tzaziki).0 -
I eat a lot of mackerel in summer as you can catch it pretty easily over here. Do you guys in the US eat it?? It is delicious on the BBQ with a big salad and some baby boiled potatoes or crusty bread. Mmmmmm bring on summer....0
-
generally breaded or fried, which is why i don't have it often.
i do like salmon cakes, though, and it's easy to make them in a healthy way.0 -
I'm a huge tilapia fan! One fillet, one a baking sheet lined with foil in your choice of sauce! A quick lunch I like to make is baked tilapia in a spicy tomato sauce with whole wheat pasta...nom nom nom!
Last night for Valentine's day my boyfriend made a salmon in a balsalmic tomato sauce...not sure what else was in it but it was AMAZING! the balsalmic vinegar gave it the most perfect tanginess.0 -
Shrimp. Baked in a little olive oil with pepper and franks red hot or salsa on them.0
-
Grilled tilapia lightly sprayed with Pam, rub on a sprinkle of paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, parsley. I usually eat this with brown rice and some fresh tomato or mango salsa.
Me too!!! I season it almost exactly the same and serve with brown rice. Now I'm hungry ...0 -
Salmon. I take a tbsp of EVOO, mix it with some dill, lemon juice, salt and pepper and brush it on the salmon. I bake at 425 for about 10 minutes.....it comes out buttery, delicious, and flaky every time!0
-
not at all... I hate fish , shellfish occassionally but nah havent found any seafood I like really.0

1. Sashimi!!-- salmon and tuna.
2. Grilled/broiled salmon!
3. White fish such flouder, pollock, perch, trout, cod, tilapia, halibut: FISH TACOS!!!!
Healthy fish tacos (The endulgent way to make these is to batter and fry the fish. To save of calories, grill/broil the fish): After cooking the fish, place in 6 in corn tortilla that has been warmed for about ten seconds to soften it. Drizzle fish with a tablespoon or two of baja sauce, which can be made at home, with 1 part mayo (this can be reduced fat or fat free), 1 part plain yogurt (again, this can be reduced fat or fat free) and 1 part fresh lime juice, with a dash of cumin and garlic powder. Top with raw shredded green and red cabbage, pico de gallo, fresh chopped cilantro, squeeze a fresh lime wedge over that bad boy and top with a sprinkling of mozzarella cheese. Of course this can be adjusted to your liking, but THEY ARE SO GOOD!!! Every time my sister comes over to our house, she wants me to make fish tacos for dinner.0 -
Salmon any way (grilled, baked, sauteed, poached, you name it), spicy grilled or panko crusted tilapia, cod, mahi mahi, swordfish, macadamia crusted opa ... oh, I could go on and on. Now I'm REALLY hungry. Fish for dinner tonight!
Oh, and check out Memphis Dust rub on grilled shrimp! (www.amazingribs.com)
Did I mention salmon? Preferably wild caught in Atlantic waters, but fresh farmed in Atlantic waters will do ... salmon, salmon, salmon ...0 -
Favourite is salmon, but it is hugely expensive here, so don't have it very often.
Favourite way to cook other fish is:
Place fillets of any white fish in an oven proof dish. Sprinkle with garlic, salt, pepper and any other spices you want. Pour a tin of tomato/onion over the fish. Mix about 2 cups of low-fat plain yoghurt with 2 egss. (Depending on the amount of fish you have you can change the quantities. Pour this over the fish/tomatoe sauce. Sprinkle a little cheese over top. Bake in the oven until bubbling and nicely browned.
You can use the same yoghurt/egg sauce for a lower fat lasagna or moussaka topping.0 -
"Favorite" way? The pan seared tiliapia with shrimp cream sauce at Bahama Breeze (which I haven't had in years)
The way I *most often* make it? IE at home. Tossed in breadcrumbs and cajun seasoning and baked in the oven.. works well for tiliapia or catfish.0 -
Talapia Fillet
1 tsp olive oil
1/2 tsp red pepper flakes 2 cloves garlic chopped
Sprinkle fish with your favorite seasonings. I use lemon pepper, creole seasoning and black pepper.
In a non stick pan heat olive oil, garlic and red pepper flakes. Cook on low heat to flavor the oil about 2 minutes or until garlic is slightly brown. Remove garlic and pepper flakes with slotted spoon leaving the oil in the pan. Heat pan to medium add fish fillet and cook until golden brown about 3 minutes. Flip and cook until done. yum
Makes awesome fish tacos too!

Trader Joe's has frozen albacore, ahi, and swordfish steaks that are about $5-$6 bucks for 3/4 of a lbs. These are aweseme dense steaks. I love to put them in a cast iron skillet with some pastured butter, get a good sear on both sides, and then put it in a 400 degree oven for 10-15 minutes. Little salt, pepper and lemon and you are good to go.
As a side I will saute some spinach or asparagus with butter or bacon grease.
Side note - I'm doing a Primal diet, hence all the natural butter and bacon.0
