Your favorite saltwater fish

[eldragon]

What's your favorite kind of saltwater fish to eat? I like saltwater bass myself. In fact, any fish that is thick and white is good with me. I don't care for freshwater fish as much as saltwater.

I like any and all saltwater fish, as long as they are really fresh and don't have an overly fishy taste or smell to them.

I'm really not a fish eater. I will force myself to eat tuna, but that's about it.

When I was a kid we had a pet lobster at school. The teacher ended up cooking it and bringing it in for us all to try. :eek: Ruined me for seafood for the rest of my life. I thought it was really heartless of the teacher, too.

OH my! That's horrible!

I don't eat lobster, either.

I like fish though. It's healthy for you.

I don't eat pork, however.

Oh my gosh...what was that teacher thinking! I wouldn't like lobster if that happened to me, either.

There was a restaurant here a long time ago that we used to visit. It was basically BBQ stuff. (We are in the South ;) ) Anyhow, they smoked some catfish and let us try it once. It was surprisingly good. I don't know if I would eat it often, but I think I might have been able to eat that. Unfortunately, the restaurant closed down. Now it's a pizza place!

I will eat just about any fish, saltwater or fresh, but I just cant handle it if it has an overpowering fishy taste or smell to it.

So how do you get rid of the "overwhelmingly" stinky fish smell? I think that's part of what turns me off of fish.

[miavassallo]

Well, if I am cooking the fish the only way we will eat it is if it's saute`d in butter and lots of garlic and other spices. That gets rid of the fishy smell and taste pretty well.

[FourBear]

I thought that fresh fish in general wasn't supposed to smell too fishy, but more like "ocean-y." There is a difference. Butter and spices definitely help! :)

[miavassallo]

With out family, you cant have too much butter or spices on anything! :D

I'm Italian, so you're right, you can't have too much garlic. I don't know that it would be enough to make me eat fish though.

[miavassallo]

My boyfriend is Italian, and sometimes he complains that I use too much garlic... BLASPHEMY!! LOL.

I use to hate fish until I started cooking it up in garlic and butter. Lots of salt helps for me too... but I'm a huge salt feind... unhealthy!
