dustyxbla Posted May 2, 2015 Report Share Posted May 2, 2015 I'm introducing my lovely and wonderful girlfriend to the world of seafood. She had only ever had friday-fish-fry style battered tilapia. I've introduced her to scallops, shrimp, mussels and some other stuff. Blah, blahWhat's your favorite type of fish? I realized while perusing the seafood section there's fish I haven't even heard of, let alone consumed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Butters Posted May 2, 2015 Report Share Posted May 2, 2015 (edited) Might not be fancy, but a good wild caught salmon is my favorite. Pan cooked with creole and a squeeze of fresh orange juice.

ReconRat Posted May 3, 2015 Report Share Posted May 3, 2015 (edited) Orange Roughy - maybe it was a one time deal, but that was nice Catfish - but results vary - sometimes good, sometimes so so edit: Flounder is good, but you have to spice it up - not much flavor - big on texture Edited May 3, 2015 by ReconRat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dustyxbla Posted May 3, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 3, 2015 Oysters ftw. I've never had walleye or crappie, what kind of buckeye am I?And that's kind of fucked up, Gump lol I need to try these. I googled walleye cheeks and the images are gross. But I'll try most anything once. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dustyxbla Posted May 3, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 3, 2015 This was my salmon dinner. Jazz loved it. I got drunk and inhaled it. Salmon marinated in Lime juice, salt & pepper, Soy sauce, pineapple, and then melted butter. Rice is mixed with spinach. Similar seasoning.

dustyxbla Posted May 3, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 3, 2015 You bastard. I could live off sushi. Fun fact for all sushi lovers. Shinto sushi in strongsville does sushi rolling classes for around $140 per a COUPLE. You get 3 glasses of Saki, 3 glasses of wine and o shit you not as much sushi as you can make until they close. Jazz (my gf) and I did the classes as a two year anniversary date. They take great care of you. We brought home 5 trays of sushi we made. You can use any ingredients you like and make as much as you want. I was so full of Saki and sushi we almost got a.hotel. HIGHLY recommended for.sushi lovers.

r6Brent71 Posted May 3, 2015 Report Share Posted May 3, 2015 Fish (Tilapia with garlic powder and hot sauce) is staple when I decide to go on a diet and lose this extra 30 lbs., then inevitably two days later my diet turns into Pizza, Pop, and Ice Cream.

zx3vfr Posted May 3, 2015 Report Share Posted May 3, 2015 I don't eat a lot if sea food or freshwater fish. But I do like some muscles from time to time. Shrimp in butter and garlic. And I'll eat just about any sushi/sashimi. Just usually to rich for my blood so I only get it when shrimp is on sale or when someone else is paying.

ReconRat Posted May 3, 2015 Report Share Posted May 3, 2015 Had to research the orange roughy. A life span of up to 149 years, wow. Sounds delicious. Never had anything "deep sea" minus bottom feeders.Sadly, the Orange Roughy is fished out and hard to find. It will be expensive if found. I didn't mention game fish, but blue gills and crappies (specks for the Southern boys) and walleye and yellow perch are all good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dustyxbla Posted May 3, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 3, 2015 I see a reoccurring walleye trend. I've never had it not sure I trust any lake Erie walleye either. I'll have to try and source sone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C-bus Posted May 3, 2015 Report Share Posted May 3, 2015 Best fish I've ever eaten, and I eat out quite a bit on both coasts.... Cameron Mitchell's "M" had a seared Tuna block served rare with a port wine reduction. Absolutely melted in the mouth. Yum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dustyxbla Posted May 3, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 3, 2015 See, I've never had a "bad" fish experience. Its all be acceptable, but some better than others. Oddly enough some of the worse fish I've ever had has been from oceanside restaurants in the Carolinas. Maybe I have a cheap pallet, but I've had some pretty "gamey" fish. I'll never forget the time I paid $50 for a bucket of shelled goodness in NC. Fresh caught daily. The crab taste like kelp and the oysters had sand in them. I think they boiled everything kind of as is with no seasoning. So it was fresh AF, but I did not enjoy it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReconRat Posted May 3, 2015 Report Share Posted May 3, 2015 Same here. Somewhat famous dockside restaurant in Baltimore. I thought it was crap. Did you know... DNA testing of fish in big city restaurants, generally show an average of 39-55% of all fish sold is cheap catfish (or other cheapie), and not the item advertised. Restaurant blames the supplier, supplier blames the restaurant, yadda yadda... And nationwide isn't too honest either. all new york city sushi joints, 100% "other fish" More than half (59%) of the 46 fish types tested nationwide had mislabeling.only 7 of 120 red snapper samples (6%!) collected nationwide were actually red snapper.84% of white tuna samples were actually escolar, “a species that can cause serious digestive issues for some individuals who eat more than a few ounces.” http://www.forbes.com/sites/larryolmsted/2013/02/21/fake-fish-on-shelves-and-restaurant-tables-across-usa-new-study-says/ The local news ran the same tests in Columbus and found the same thing.

ReconRat Posted May 3, 2015 Report Share Posted May 3, 2015 And did not know this. The US FDA has a DNA barcoding program in effect to combat the fraud. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/11/27/restaurants-dna-seafood-mislabeling_n_1114937.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
