Do you like to eat fish?

I have never liked fish for some reason. The only type I can eat are the breaded & fried stuff like at Long John Silver's. :lol: I do like other seafood, though.

I love fish from the sea

Ocean Perch
Sea Bass
Sword Fish
Monk Fish (another one you don't want to look at but it's so good)
Tuna
Cod
Halibut
Flounder
Sole
Salmon

I'm concerned about salmon being artificially tinted orange. Anyone know why?

Because farm-raised salmon doesn't get the nutrients that make it orange.
 

The wild salmon get Astaxanthin naturally from the things they eat like algae, plankton, etc. and the farmed salmon get it as a supplement for color. It's an antioxidant carotenoid, I've taken Lutein supplements for my eyes that had it in there, kind of like benefiting from eating carrots. I really like the taste of farmed salmon over wild, especially Norwegian....even though the wild is more natural and healthier for you.
 
Catfish is OK, better tasting than Tilapia which I don't like. My favorite freshwater fish is the chub—smoked, However, they may never recover from the zebra mussel invasion. Second to the chub is lake perch, breaded. My other favorite freshwater fish are salmon and trout. Walleye can be excellent as well. Lake trout (actually char) are quite tasty. They're decent smoked, but they can't compare to chubs.

I do love cod, flounder, sole, and a number of other marine species. If I had to choose between only fish and only the flesh of warm-blooded animals, I'd take fish.

I love other seafood as well.

Does anyone know where I can buy salted cod; they used to come in little wooden boxes. I can't find them either online or in stores.

So you prefer shell fish over fin fish? Like lobster , shrimp, etc?

Not me.

A friend of mine was telling me that Red Lobster also has other kinds of fish...
but you would never know it by their advertising which is all shell fish.

I wish there were a local restaurant that specialized in baked fin fish.

Outback Steakhouse has tasty salmon [but it is probably farm raised.]
 
.

For those who love salmon [like me]
If you have leftovers, the next day put
the leftover salmon in scrambled eggs.
I also add dehydrated chopped onions.
Seriously, it's delicious.
 
This thread just reminded me of my Grandpa who loved smelts and how my Grandma hated making them. I noticed on line that you can eat the whole fish once fried. My Grandma cleaned everyone of them then breaded and fried them, no wonder she hated it so much, besides that he really could eat a lot of them.
 
Basa fish are sold in the supermarkets here. I never tried it and now I never will. Not a fan of American catfish. If I can find it cheap I will buy trout, haddock, perch, sea bass, and salmon. Not big on fish though.
 
Fresh catch: I like small catfish, bass and crappie. Don't care much for bream. (I think bream have more of a "fishy" taste. LOL!)

I prefer fish fried, and cold, cooked and then put in the refrigerator for a while. :shrug:

From the store or restaurant: Don't care for tuna or salmon. Love small catfish. Talapia is good. Never got any fancier than that.
 
We eat fish once or twice a week and with exception of salmon, it's all sea fish. We live near some of Scotland's largest fishing ports, so fresh fish is always available. The most popular fish is Haddock, though Cod, Sole and various flatfish are also caught. Mackerel and herring are mainly seasonal. Much of the lobster and prawn catch that is landed in Scotland ends up in top class restaurants across the UK and Europe.

There are a number of cheaper and less popular fish which are OK for pies etc... They have a number of local names like Pollack, Saithe etc..
I like one called Rock Turbot / Wolf fish etc.. It's plug ugly, but tastes pretty good... The large teeth are for eating shellfish, crabs etc..

Wow. Those are some fish. I've never had catfish and don't eat fish anymore because of all the toxins found in them these days. But I did like the taste of fish.
 
I was just talking to a friend about this today...I used to LUV fish, the main-stay of my diet, for most of my adult years has been fish. But for some reason, I seem to have lost my taste for it ?! And yes I have tried many types....salmon, cod, tuna, etc...None [of] them seem to do it for me lately. Perhaps I just ate too much of it ?....burned out [as they say] I'll leave it alone for awhile , maybe my taste buds will get to missing it ?
 
We have fish at least once a week. My favorites are Cod, Haddock, Halibut and small portions of Red (Sockeye) Salmon.
