DiningBuzz! - Favorite/Least Favorite Fish Dish

Favorite: Salmon
Least Favorite: Red Snapper

Favourite; North Sea Haddock deep fried in crispy batter with chips and mushy peas from Ernie Becketts in Cleethorpes market square.

Least Favourite; Cod....you get worms in cod...

Favourite: Salmon, practically any style (best: sashimi)
Like: Cod, Halibut, Snapper, Fluke, Flounder, Tuna, and others I am trying to translate from the Japanese into English

Least Favourite: Mackeral, Herring

Fave: cedar plank roasted salmon or halibut, on my own grill, with a ginger-soy-sherry marinade.
Unfave: any baked au gratin deal where the fish is mushy and cheesy and the whole dish has the coloration and consistency of hurl. Eurgh.

Favourite: Sashmi, Barramundi, Tuna steaks, smoked Mackeral
Least Favourite: Cooked salmon, way too rich for my liking. I can't stand fish and chips either, it always seems like a good idea but as soon as I take one bite I realise it's a mistake, again too rich.

Favorite: salmon, halibut

Least favorite: sushi, shrimp

Least favorite: salmon.

Favorite: snapper or halibut.

Favorite: grilled swordfish steak with lots of lemon & butter (mmmmm, mercury)

Least: farm raised rainbow trout (tastes like puppy chow)

Favorite = Any fish that I catch and prepare for dinner! That would include, fluke, sea bass, porgys, ling, striped bass, blackfish, grouper, yellowtail snapper, wahoo, weakfish, mahi-mahi, kingfish, croakers, spanish mackeral, yellowfin tuna, cod, pollock,whiting, haddock, winter flounder and others that I'm sure that I have forgotten!

Least favorite: Atlantic Mackeral (which I smoke some for consumption, the rest gets used for bait), Bluefish (If less than 5 lbs it is ok. If over 5 lbs, the meat tastes gamey). Silver eel. Caught a 4 foot one last year. I was convinced to keep it. It was full of bones and not worth the effort. Not to mention, the ba*#ard bit me.

Favorite - If only fish probably swordfish (but usually the stuff we buy fresh and grill ourselves, most restaurants destroy it), if all seafood, lobster.

Least Favorite - Calamari and Baccalà, which both happen to be my wife's favorites.

Favorite: I haven't found it yet, but maybe fresh sardines or little red mullet grilled over grapevines on the quay at Livorno would be close. Gulf Red Snapper Veracruzana comes close as do small flounder stuffed with crab meat, the crab & shrimp stuffed eggplant and speckled trout in brown butter at Galatoire's, or a risotto of pulpo y tinto in one of those cafes in the arcades across from the harbor in Vera Cruz..

Near 70 and still trying every sort from raw to long-smoked, fresh to salt, and from damn near every sea. Those here dissing mackerel have never had the best of breakfasts, a quickly grilled Spanish Jack with a bit of butter and lemon (from Spanish up through "Kingfish", the secret's in the "Blood Stripe" and the bleeding, tail cut off and stored vertically, rear down). Never turn down Finan Hadie (sp?) or Kedgeree (or any of the 1000 solutions for Salt Cod/Bacalao - some better than others, but all evidence of culinary craftiness).

I can even fix passable hake/pollock when naught else is available.

Least: If you haven't tried it don't! Lutefisk

Favorite dish: tiradito marinero at the "taller de cocina" Los Cavenecia, Lima. Made with (uncooked) lenguado (flounder) and crabmeat, with a sauce of lime juice, cream and parmesan cheese, and maybe some other secret ingredients. This is an astoundingly good dish.

Favorite fishes: depends on the preparation. For ceviche flounder is hard to beat. Cooked, I like salmon a lot but even better IMO is Arctic char.

Least favorite: large bowls of raw sea urchin in salty water that I tried years ago at the seafood market in Puerto Montt, Chile. You've got to grow up eating that dish to like it - it is not a taste that is easy to acquire!

Favorite: swordfish, shark steaks, tuna steaks, etc.

Least favorite: squid or octopus. It may be in the preparation, but any time I’ve tried it the texture was rubbery.

Spanish macks are delicious. It is Atlantic macks (also known as Boston macks here in the NE) that are very oily and not as tasty.

Favourite - Tuna sashimi fresh from the Pacific in Samoa
Lease - Uni (sea urchin). Bleuurggh.

Favorites - anything in the tuna or similar group (such as tuna, fatty tuna (I know), bluefin tuna or yellowtail - raw or grilled - preferably raw), extremely well cooked sole, fugu (raw), uni (raw).

Least - not a big fan of eel pie (had it at J Sheeky, about the only thing I havent liked there). I had the best sole I have ever had there so no reflection on the place, just the eels ;)

Favorites: Broiled mackerel as served in Japanese restaurants and a Salmon dish I can't remember the name of which is salmon marinated in a miso/sake paste and then grilled.

Least favorite: Cod.

One of my least favorite foods is fish with bones... I just hate to have to work around them and have to 'think' when I chew.... yes, I know, not much of a foodie trait but its the truth... :o

Favorite: swordfish
Least favorite: seared ahi

favorite: salmon, not farmed
least favorite: catfish - too slimy & has a funny aftertaste

Nice topic!

Favorites: Pecan-crusted red snapper, grilled salmon topped with seafood-butter sauce

Least favorites: any kind of fish with cheese, catfish in any form

Favorite: Ahi Tuna tartar

Least Favorite: Anything involving tilapia

favourites: bluefish, mackerel, Florida mahi mahi, Baltic herring, Baltic sprats, Scandinavian whitefish etc.

Aka cheapskate tastes

dislikes: fried overfatty salmon, low quality tuna, hotel and cruise buffet sushi platters...

Cannot stand image before quality

e: have to add eel to the favourites thanks to sir Gadgetfreak. Absolutely love this miscreation.

i'm not real big on lutefisk. although it is a style of prep, it is usually cod.

Favourite: Orange Roughy or Cod
Least favourite: Catfish--gross, slimy, and nasty!

Favorite is Swordfish (delicious, although some say endangered)

Least Favorite Bluefish (great fight, poor taste IMHO)

Favorites: shrimp scampi served with pasta, Swordfish Messina from Naked Fish

Least favorite: salmon with bones in.

Favorite: Broiled scallops (served without pasta of any kind).

Least Fav: Crayfish, and also octopus sashimi (tastes OK, but too rubbery in texture)

Scallops I do like a lot, with or without pasta. But a bit curious on the crayfish dislike. Would you care to elaborate? Or is it some bad experience f.ex at an Asian street kitchen?

Favorite = Any fish that I catch and prepare for dinner!

ding ding ding ding, we have a winner.:-::-::-: For sure any fish caught by oneself and prepared within hours of catching it is going to be the winner. From mahi mahi to snapper to smallmouth bass/walleye or trout while camping/hiking^

Fave: cedar plank roasted ...
LOVE cedar plank prep and do it at home on an every 3rd week basis, had a lake trout done on cedar plank recently, wonderful.

Favourite:.. Barramundi...
not easy to find in the States but we did like every barramundi prep we had in Australia.

least favorite: catfish - too slimy & has a funny aftertaste

lots of crappy/old catfish served out there, but a FRESH fried (with cornmeal in the crust) catfish, is devine !!

funny, I had the same question

My least favorite is usually the overly prepped fish loaded up with au gratin or some junk, I simply order something else if the fish is anything but simply prepared.

my general rule is that any fish that is ocean fish is okay with me. i do not eat lake fresh water fish.

For me, I like almost any fish. The fresher the fish, and the simpler the preparation (often cooked on the bone) the better.

One notable exception is steamed (Chinese style) catfish. I never really seemed to like it.

Favorite: Smoked Salmon
Least Favorite: Tilapia. Mainly because I haven't tried a good preparation of it yet. And the fish itself just doesn't have much to it in terms of flavor.

And the fish itself just doesn't have much to it in terms of flavor.Red Lobster has a great tilapia menu item (one of their best dishes), which consists of steaming in a paper bag filled with seasoning and veggies, then opened at the table. Brilliant dish as it takes zero cooking skill, isn't time sensitive and really imparts more flavour than steaming while having the health benefits, such as low fat. Anyone could do this at home, as long as you are holding a paper bag.

Thanks for the suggestion! I can usually get tilapia pretty cheap where I live so I've been on the lookout for a good way to prepare it.

Or is it some bad experience f.ex at an Asian street kitchen?Good guess as to a previous bad experience, but not in Asia - in California, decades ago while on a Boy Scouts trip. I became ill after eating them, and have not had a desire to try them again. I don't have any (known) allergies, and loke most other fish and seafood.

cant stand salmom unless it is smoked

My own salmon preferences are:

1.) Hot smoked
2.) Cured (Gravlax)
3.) Cold smoked
4.) In a soup
5.) Baked
6.) Grilled

Pan fried salmon is not among personal favourites, fat overkill of sorts.

Fave: Some strips of raw tuna marinated in something or other in a tiny Trattoria in the Dosoduro district of Venice.
Haddock deep fried in Batter with chips and curry sauce, washed down with a glass bottle of Irn Bru from the Gorgie Fish Bar in Edinburgh.

Worst: Any farmed Salmon or Trout.
