Whats the best kind of fish to buy?

[jbanks]

I am not a big fan of fish, but i need a change from chicken. I really don't like the taste of fish, so i guess my question is what is the best tasting fish? Also what would be the best way to cook it?

i used to hate fish but now i can't get enough of salmon, i love it but it's like any meat, pretty bland on it's own, i would never, however eat it on it's own cos i don't really like the taste, just like i wouldn't eat chicken on it's own, i eat salmon with many vegetables but the one that "makes" the dish for me is leeks (slightly cooked OR raw depending on mood i'm in), just that one addition of a single vegetable has got me eating salmon on a regular basis and, like i said, i love it now. Even just some black pepper, mustard seeds and fresh dill is enough to make salmon go from a bland tasting meat to something much much more.

I like North Atlantic White Fish, things like Cod, Haddock and I love tuna steaks. No matter how many times I have tried eating salmon, I just can't do it.

Nutrition wise, all fish are a little different. Find some you like. Fresh fish shouldn't smell like fish or feel slimey. I worked in a fish market in NY for several years, so if you have any questions about cooking it, let me know.

Salmon( Chinook ONLY, NOT Atlantic or Pink )
Ahi Tuna
Snapper
Sea Bass

Oysters
Abalone
muscles and clams

tend to be the healthier choices with much more nutreints then plain fish out there

Flounder, cod and tilapia are pretty bland.

take a piece of foil, put the fish in the middle of the foil, season lightly if you wish, put a few tablespoons of salsa (I like goya) over the top of the fish.

fold the two opposing ends of the foil (along the long side of the fish) so the ends meet, roll down slightly, then pull up the two sides and fold those closed as well.

10-12 minutes at 410 (f) should be done.

I would check the fish because ovens vary and note the time it takes to cook.

Don't over cook it.

Eat plain or over some rice.

cod ,tilapia, and white fish are cheap industry fish

its like eating at Denni's instead of eating at a restuarant

I like tilapia so whatever It has a very nice, light taste. The other fish I'll save for the chefs when i go out.

It's expensive, but sea bass is probably one of my favorite tasting fishes. Monkfish, or poor man's lobster, tastes really good too.

And avocado on some of the more bland tasting fish really brings out the flavor.

Calamari, scallops, clams, mussels, shrimp. Big Zuppa di Pesce fan when I'm out at a restaurant. lol
