I want to try fish again!

I want to try fish. I didn't like it before surgery but since I am eatting healthier I want to try it again! So I am asking for some types of fish and some recipes on how to cook them! I appreciate your responses in advance! :)

Can't help you with fish recipes---I don't like it either. I just wanted to tell you I mis-read your thread title as "I want to try TO fish again!" and I got a giggle out of it. (*grin*)

 LOL - you're from MAINE and you don't know about fish? Tsk, tsk! 

Anyway, I have learned to love a lot more kinds of fish since I had my surgery. The main trick is to not overcook it, which can happen very quickly.

Here's a site for you that can really come in handy. Just pick the type of fish you want to cook and it will show you recipes for it.

I can tell you the fish *I* like - you may or may not like them:
Trout
Salmon
Mackerel
Tilapia
Whiting
That imitation crab stuff
Bluefish
Whiting
Cod
Haddock

Yes, I don't know about fish AND I don't like lobster and I can not eat blueberries!! And now potatoes are few and far between!! I am ashamed to call myself a Mainer!! lol

This person's got em all!  everything that does not taste fishy!!!  Go for it!  and ....lobster!!!???

You can bake Talapia season it with a little salt, pepper and a little garlic powder. After baking it, ( do not over bake) add cheese and bake a little longer to melt the cheese.

Enjoy.

It is delicious and loaded with protein.

If I were you I'd ease into it.  On the advice of a friend, I started out with soft canned fish like salmon to see how my pouch would tolerate it. 

Well, you live in the right place for fish!

fish can be tricky to prepare right, it takes practice.

So what I would do is go out to a few kick-ass seafood places near you that have a great reputation for preparing fish very well. Then try a few different types of fish. I would stay away from bluefish, flounder, and mackerel since they tend to have stronger flavors.

Some really nice fish to start with are:

1) Sea Bass
2) Salmon or Arctic Char (any salmon family fish, very rich, great flavors!)
3) Monkfish
4) Brook Trout

These are fairly mellow but tasty without being "fishy".

If you find that you like some of the fish you've tried, then start learning how to prepare it at home. Fish is expensive these days, so I wouldn't experiment with cooking it until you've decided which fish you like the taste of.

I'd also recommend trying scallops, shrimp (can't go wrong with shrimp scampi!) and squid (fried calimari is a good intro to squid).

Seafood is fantastic!! Plus you can start eating in when you move onto your soft food stage.  We can learn to like anything especially when it is loaded with protein and no carbs. 

Canned salmon is great..but you might have to work up to that considereing it looks like it went through a shredder when they canned it..lol (sorry if that was too graphic :) I mix it with a little mayo and salt and pepper I love it though and put some on Rye Wasa crackers and it makes a great meal! 

Shrimp...easy, cheap and fantastic!! 

I prefer sal****er fish like flounder ...but I will have the occasional cat at Cracker Barrel.
