I don't really like cooking fish and have only started cooking it regularly for the family. I do love eating it--- just not cooking it!
I don't like salmon so I cook tilapia, but after reading this article about how tilapia is fed corn and soy and isn't really that good for you, I don't think I want to continue eating it!

What type of fish do you regularly cook and eat?

Fish is usually too oily for my DH, he has a sensitive tummy. And LO can't have shellfish yet..... so I just don't cook it and order it when I'm out instead.

We used to eat a lot of tilapia too but since have cut down. But we cook mostly salmon - I used to hate cooked salmon but that's because I used to over cook it. Sometimes, we'll also eat trout, halibut, or rock fish.

We eat lots of fish since my hubs is pescaterian. We do salmon, cod, tuna, plaice, sole, trout and sometimes sea bass. It's quick and easy to cook once you get used to it! Before we got married, I never cooked fish and found it really intimidating- but now I love it! Good luck!

salmon, trout, snapper, cod, halibut...
usually we just season it with salt and pepper, sear it and finish it in the oven. then top it off with some fresh lemon. delicious!

Interesting article. My grandparents had a large fish pond in the Philippines and raised tilapia. Now I'm curious what they fed them.
As for our fish consumption, we eat salmon. I found these wonderful quality, frozen salmon off cuts. They're large cuts, just not perfectly uniform, the great thing about them is they're actually a LOT better quality than the more expensive cuts around here. DH's a pro at cooking salmon so I leave it up to him. Another fish we eat is pangasius, I use it for when I make red curry stew.

Swordfish is a favorite of mine! It's very meaty. And we like Mahi-Mahi.

We like salmon, pike (when DH fishes), trout, cod, halibut...pretty much if it comes out of the water and it isn't a kipper, we'll eat it.

@Mrs. Bee: Have you thought about purchasing wild tilapia? If you can't find that by you rock fish is very similar to tilapia. I cook salmon, tilapia, rock, sea bass, ono, halibut basically almost any fish that I can get fresh wild at the market.

We love tilapia, halibut, mackeral (Korean style - broiled in the oven), and mahi mahi. I'm not a huge salmon fan.

@amy: yah I am going to try to buy it wild but most tilapia is farmed.
I buy wild salmon since mr bee likes it. And also I like halibut and sea bass, but it is soooo expensive at our local market.

@Mrs. Bee: do you have a Costco membership? They have wild tilapia frozen in individual vacuumed packages. They also have wild salmon and flounder.

@amy: i don't have a car so i let my membership expire. having to rent a car voids the savings!

I like Salmon and tilapia. Yikes about tilapia though. Hmm... it's an easy fish to make. I just recently made tilapia katsu in the oven and it was great with tonkatsu sauce and rice. I would eat chilean sea bass all the time if they weren't on the endangered species list! I think they are? I also like to steam my fish Chinese style with soy, ginger, and scallions. Yum.

Mostly salmon, but a variety of others as well. I find it really easy to cook and LO likes it, so it works.

I like most types of fish, but I hate tuna fish!! I like grilled tuna and tuna sushi, there's just something about tuna fish that really grosses me out.
