Even a HINT if fishy taste and I will not eat it. Yes, it is fresh and supposed to be "mild" but YUCK! I will occasionally eat a small piece of bluegill, bass or crappie. I bought some very nice looking fresh frozen Hoki from New Zealand that is supposed to be a mild white fish. It is unbearable to cook so I am going to try the milk bath. How does Long John Silvers get theirs to taste so mild? I would eat fish several times a week if I could broil or saute and have it taste like that.

Just kidding, but here is a fantastic recipe: Pan fry fish fillets until done and keep warm. (I love to use fresh,filleted Atlantic Salmon but frozen fish works perfectly as well) Gently heat about 1/2 a cup of thickened cream.When it reaches a sauce like consistency, add in 20g butter (regular,salted)and 1 1/2 Tablespoons fresh lemon juice. Continue stirring and cooking until butter is melted and the desired consistency is reached. Switch off stove and add in a little chopped fresh cilantro or parsley and a quick grind of black pepper. Serve immediately spooned over fish with a greek salad on the side. ENJOY!

You'd also like swordfish and halibut, since they're firm fish and don't taste fishy at all. They're good with any marinade, but teriyaki is especially good on the BBQ.....

My son hates the 'fishy' taste but will eat these two kinds. There are a ton of recipes out the and these two fish allow the flavors of spices used in the recipes to take center stage. Tilapia with lime is excellent and very easy. It is also great with garlic! Tilapia or orange roughy are very light fish that have a mild taste.

If the skin is a bit slimey, even better. If you press the flesh of the fish, it should NOT leave a dent. Check the gills. If the gills are red the fish is fresh. If you get a fresh fish, the less fishy it will be. After scaling and rinsing the fish it should NOT smell fishy, it should smell of the sea. NEXT: my sister dislikes fish usually, but the ways I make that she enjoys are- teriyaki salmon- where you cut the salmon into big chunks, roll them in cornstarch and deep fry, then coat the chunks in teriyaki sauce and serve that over rice. I suppose anything that masks the fishiness will be great. Salmon with creamy dill sauce and potatoes is also great- the dill is a strong herb and goes really well. Do you like smoked salmon? There are so many recipes you can make with it. I get salmon that has been smoked in a portion rather than slices, and wrap it in puff pastry with the dill sauce or dill butter, Then bake until flakey. Well, i hope this gives you some ideas!

If it does, pass on it. We eat fish almost every day. This is my favorite and really easy way to cook salmon. 2 salmon portions 3 tbsp dark brown sugar 1/4 tsp fresh ground black pepper sea salt to taste I preheat the oven to 425. I cover a cookie sheet with foil so I don't have to clean it afterwards, and spray it with some cooking spray. Lightly salt the fish and sprinkle with a mixture of the brown sugar and pepper . Bake it for about 10 minutes until cooked to your liking ( I like it slightly undercooked). Low fat and absolutely delicious!! Fresh fish never smells fishy. If it does, pass on it.
