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.
