Weird question maybe, but I don’t think I ever liked the taste of fish, except when I was young. I vaguely remember eating fish fingers and (I think) plaice. But then I stopped and never went back to it. I dislike the smell, I find salmon bland (although that may have been the salmon I tasted once). Are there any particular fish that would make the crossover from chicken to fish easier? Or any recipes that don’t disguise the taste of the fish too much, but make it more palatable for somebody that isn’t crazy about the taste? I see the health benefits and would love to just get stuck in, but there seems to be a block with the associated smell and I guess a one off bad one that put me off eating it. I picked up cod in the supermarket today, and then decided I should ask here first…😁 So hopefully I get a mixture of answers, but mostly some helpful. Thanks for reading.

Edit. Wow, wasn’t expecting to see this many replies. I have already seen some great ideas that I’m definitely going to try. I have to go through them all.

    • Get some catfish and some cornflour and an egg. Cut the catfish into nuggets. Dip in the egg wash. Roll lightly in the cornflour and salt/pepper mixture. Fill a pan with oil. Deep fry. Yum!
    • Get some mahi mahi. Place on some tin foil. Add a pat of butter on top of each. Grill it up until flaky but not dried out. Salt to taste. mahi is so mild, like no fish flavor. Delish!
    • Get a tuna steak. Soak it in a bit of ponzu sauce. Get an iron skillet nice and hot with a little splash of oil. Toast some sesame seeds on it. Put those to the side. Then get your tuna and sear it on all sides. Add a dash of salt (if you want, the ponzu may be salty enough) and the seeds. Enjoy.
    • if you like spicy, get a good blackened seasoning, it can help mask the fish flavor
    • also, try sushi, but like from a good place. Rolls will hide the taste much better than sashimi, which is meant to showcase the fish. Fresh sushi (yellowtail, salmon, tuna, mackerel) has almost no fish taste. Eel has a steak like taste, but can be a bit fishy. Do not go for urchin, it’s like a straight up fish umami bomb.

      My wife likes fish more than I do, but she can’t stand catfish. Tastes like any other fish to me, not her. 🤷🏻‍♂️
