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.

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.

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.

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.

Cant for the life of me remember what it was called. But if you get off the Vapretto stop the other side of the water from the Hilton. Turn left, then walk down the first alley on the right..
Absolutely amazing food at that place.

Vapretto stop is called ZATERRE
