If you have a Trader Joe's nearby, you should be set; their selection and prices are great. CostCo and Sam's would also be good for frozen fish at reasonable prices. It's a bit more expensive than chicken, but the variety makes it well worthwhile. A couple of species that should be available from quite a few stores year-round and aren't too pricey are tilapia and ahi/yellowfin tuna. Honestly, I don't think you can go wrong with any type of fish in terms of taste, so it comes down to what you want to spend.

Try this recipe I came up with a few years ago. (you can adjust it based on your needs)


2 fillets of frozen(thawed) or fresh orange roughy
cut them into 4 inch blocks

sautee some mushrooms in butter or olive oil (around 2 Tbsp) along with some fresh parsley and chopped green onion

heat the oven to 350 degrees
Take your sauteed mixture and spoon about 1 Tbsp over each piece of fish
put it in the oven for about 10 minutes?(i've never timed it) but it should be right before the fish begins to get done (nice and flakey)
Then take the fish out, spoon on some more of your sauteed mixture and stick it back in the oven for another 2 or 3 minutes until it is done

take it out and EAT UP

not sure if any of that works in your diet, but I am not a big fan of fish, however this is one of my favorite things to eat when i'm not eating chicken, or beef.

Ah what am I thinking... lol
spices: use a little salt (to taste) some freshly cracked pepper
maybe a clove of garlic in when you sautee the mushrooms
and a dash of lemon juice

(I don't really follow recipes, i just come up with shit that tastes good and make due with whatever i have at the time usually)
