Taste of different fish?

I think so - IIRC, we need to eat fatty fish twice a week, like salmon and tuna

Omega-3 fatty acids benefit the heart of healthy people, and those at high risk of — or who have — cardiovascular disease.

We recommend eating fish (particularly fatty fish) at least two times a week. Fish is a good source of protein and doesn’t have the high saturated fat that fatty meat products do. Fatty fish like mackerel, lake trout, herring, sardines, albacore tuna and salmon are high in two kinds of omega-3 fatty acids, eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA).

haha. also not very appealing as this is the type of fish they have in the hippo tanks at the zoo. Eating the hippo crap.

My favorite fish is black cod. Some of the sushi restaurants around town have specials on it but it's pretty small and expensive.

There was an all you can eat sushi place in Edmonton where you could eat as much black cod as you like. We must have bankrupted them after ordering 20 pieces. It was no longer on the menu the next time we went back.

We're all going to go camping and fishing! Slava, me and Bob O'Billovich!

Slava, I'm taking my Mondays off in Sept for fishing - this week I caught two big cutties in an undisclosed location.

While they do have a lot of fats I wouldn't go as far as to discard it completely. Tilapia can be good in soups such as bouillabaise, or even covered in in flour and cooked in a little bit of butter...remember to marinade the fish with a bit of lemon juice and worcestershire sauce before dusting in flour.
One of the benefits of eating some fattier fish is that the combination of fat and protein can be very satiating, so as a result, eating something like tilapia holds your appetite at bay longer, cutting down on your total food intake.

I see in my local supermarket many different kinds of fish that I'm curious to try. What's good? How do I cook these?

Perch
Trout
Walleye
Tillapia
Catfish
Flounder
Garoupa (or Grouper)
Swordfish
Mahi Mahi

Here's a very simple recipe that you can use with almost any fish, choosing of course fish that will hold together better, so in this case you can use Mahi Mahi, flounder, Walleye, Snapper or Halibut.

Moqueca (Brazilian seafood stew)

Vegetable oil
onions, diced
garlic, minced
ginger, minced
chilli flakes
roma tomatoes, diced
red peppers, julienned
fish broth (if you can't find this at the supermarket you can substitute with vegetable broth)
salt & pepper to taste

sweat this together until juices are released creating the sauce.

Fish fillet (I would personally go with snapper for this)

once you add the fish, don't stir. let the fish simmer for a few minutes and gently turn over

praws, peeled and deveined

garnish with fresh chopped cilantro

While ingesting fats from fish is generally good, and your statements are all true, the difference is the type and large amount of fat that is found in farmed tilapia. It's not full of only Omega-3's (which are considered good fats), its full of Omega 6's. In fact, it can contain more than a donut or bacon. While Omega 6 is a essential nutrient, eating it in large amounts can be bad for you.

Eating anything that fatty in large amounts is always going to be bad for you. What I should have been specific about was the portion size per times a week which is, a 3 to 6oz portion of fatty fish once or twice a week. So that means that per serving you get about 190 calories, 25g of protein and about 9 g of total fat, making this a good choice for a power meal before a workout.

Fantastic! We use Lay's potato chips, but Ritz sounds great as well.


I thought this thread was going to be about infidelity...

Be careful with Ceviche. I made it once and the excess acid left me gagging for two days!

Also if you're going to make ceviche, chop the fish and dump it into the citrus juice IMMEDIATELY before eating and don't leave it for more than five minutes.

I was absolutely amazed at the way the acid "cooked" the fish. It tends to get "overcooked" in the acid really quickly.

Finally, I would tend to agree with most of the posts that say you should never over-cook fish. When dealing with fresh fish from a reputable source, the chances of getting sick are minimal...Strive to under-cook the fish!

It is also worth taking into consideration the sustainability of the seafood you choose, both for the environment's and industry's sakes.

Check out this site and ask where your fish comes from:http://www.montereybayaquarium.org/c...factsheet.aspx

The fish in the hippo tank at the zoo are tilapia.

That kinda turns me off eating them.

No one has mentioned tuna melts! Ok, so its not a really sophisticated meal, but....

1) Open a can of tuna and strain the water out.
2) Mix in a large bowl with mayo, onions and mushrooms.
3) Spread mixture onto old stale hamburger buns which have been in your fridge/freezer all summer
4) Top with cheddar cheese
5) Bake in the overn until cheese is melted and bun is toasted.

Delicious and easy!
