I love fish, I love all seafood really, shrimp, scallops, lobster, crab
The only kind of fish I do not like is salmon
I've had it from a restaurant and I've had it fresh caught (my dad went to Alaska) and I just don't like the taste
I'll eat other fish prepared anyway
Especially fried
I don't cook it here, I'd rather not get taken down by my cats

I dont like fish.. but my BF found that he cant open a can of tuna around here without attracting everyone's attention.. even the cats that dont normally beg will be at his feet rubbing amd meowing for a bite.. and the dog will even beg for some tuna!

Im the oddball in this household

Not a big fish OR seafood eater.

That said, I am more fond of the meatier (read: ocean) fish, such as salmon, tuna, halibut, etc.


Though I will cook up Great Lakes fish such as perch and whitefish...

Last time I had some halibut I "oven" fried it. Dipped the pieces seasoned with salt and pepper in eggbeaters and dredged in seasoned Panko (Japanese) breadcrumbs.(You have to season them yourself. They are plain.) Used Pam on the cookie sheet and then drizzled a little olive oil on top of the fish.. .turned out crispy and tasty.

My boyfriend said this would make a good fish sandwich - you know - with tartar sauce and a bun!

I'm another one that hates fish or anything that comes out of water... it simply does not taste right.

However, what about smoking it? That would be something a bit different to baking.
DH loves smoked fish of course, luckily his parents do too.

I love sea animals... I love to eat them!


Most of the time, it's grilled lemon pepper salmon.
Tilapia in garlic butter.
Lobster in lemony butter.
Shrimp! In butter, with pepper, and garlic.
Or with a spicy red chili sauce!

Yum yum.

Any fish in any combination of lemon, garlic, butter, and pepper!

Thanks for that. I wasn't sure what it was.

I enjoy fish - my Nana does a lot of fishing so I eat blue cod in flour, egg and lemon pepper crumbs gently fried with thick cut chips!


I marinated a salmon fillet in teriyaki sauce the other day fried it and made it into a salad with fresh avocado and cherry tomatoes with a teriyaki dressing. It was devine!

Love fish.... sole, haddock, tilapia.
no salmon though. Tuna but I've never had it not in a can


I don't deep fry anything here, so all my fish is steamed


Lemon and dill are my main seasonings. When I don't have the prepackaged lemon/dill spice mix, I just lightly coat the fish in dill then sprinkle on some lemon juice. I also add a little lemon to the water in my steamer. YUM YUM YUM.

I don't know if you can get it there but barramundi is my favorite. It's a real meaty fish and suits being cooked in coals or BBQ, which i assume is like a fire pit. Place onion, sliced tomatoe, sliced lemon and a few herbs inside the fish, wrap it in foil and put in oven, BBQ, fire pit or whatever the flavours infuse through the fish. Yumm. By the way I'll be pinching that crusted tuna recipe and some other ideas here, thank you for this yummy thread.

Did I mention I'm not a fan of fish?? LMAO

The only thing "fishy" I will eat is shrimp. I LOVE shrimp.

Oh my goodness, salmon and tuna are delicious if they are not cooked!

I love fresh tuna steak. I prepare it with black pepper. I then sear it with olive oil in a frying pan, until it is dark red inside( rare) and tthen slice it thin. DELICISIOUS....
