fish recipes for someone who isn't a fish fan

[isubeatle]

So i'm trying to get better and all that stuff, gotta work on getting my Triglycerides down.

i've never been a fan of eating fish with exception of fish and chips. So i was thinking i might try grilling some fish and see how that goes. I really don't like salmon and want to stick with something more one the white meat and flaky side. Its always been the "fishy" taste that has always turned me off. And i'm sure the fresher the better tasting it is.

So anyone have any awesome fish grilling recipes or even some pan fried and baked ones too.

ahi tuna steak with seasoning, lightly seared in a skillet.

tastes almost nothing like fish. just tastes fantastic

I like to coat my fish in olive oil and rub in some spices. Put it on the grill for about 2 minutes each side (no tinfoil) and the grill char will eliminate the fish taste. I used to just set it on the tinfoil but the fish just sits there in it's fishy oils and still tastes like fish.

Ahi tuna for someone who isn't a fish fan is a horrible idea, tuna is one of harshest fish in terms of "fishiness" that there is. I like it but it's pretty fishy.

I would say get some halibut from a good place and grill it with some black pepper and lemon pepper and salt. Best fish you will ever eat and it also doesn't taste like fish.

This. Easy to cook, just put some bread crumbs on it and sear it. The main problem is making sure you get good tuna in the first place.

Halibut with a little olive oil rubbed on it, and some lemon pepper, broiled.

Start with something that has a light flavor like mahi-mahi or tilapia. I'm with you that I don't like salmon, but there are good options for grilling. Just add salt and maybe a little olive oil.

you must not have ever had good ahi. It has zero fishy taste when done right.

agree with you that halibut is great.. Dont really agree with you on the ahi tuna.. I think it is great as well. I would def stay away from Salmon.. it is really fishy... in my opinion..

Yep. Do you go a bit pinkish red in the middle? So good when its done that way.

I've caught a 131 and 1/2 lb Ahi tuna from Hawaii, I'd say that it is probably the freshest it can be, it still tastes like fish.

awesome, i'm actually kind of excited to get home and try some of this. If i can open up fish as an option then that will be awesome!

Getting fresh fish is really key. Old fish can be nasty no matter what you do. It's tougher in the midwest, but fresh fish shouldn't taste fishy.

damn near raw in the middle. fantastic. there's a restaurant in ankeny that serves it with a wasabi aoili that is just awesome

You don't even have to get too crazy. I eat a lot of Tilapia from those frozen bags you can buy at the store. They're pretty cheap.

haddock is our personal family favorite when it comes to white fish meat

Fresh salmon still is fishy (caught one of those in Alaska) it all depends on oil content.

Ever try flounder from those bags? Pretty good too IMO.

Sorry for bombing this thread, but I would also recommend walleye, probably the best fresh water fish there is.
