What's your favorite fish? Red Snapper is probably my favorite, the real thing is expensive but the texture is perfect...

yeah i have no idea why it's so expensive in the U.S., they are really plentiful and easy to catch in the gulf. i guess people realized how good they are for eating and that they could get away with charging ridiculous prices for it here.

You're probably thinking of escovitch, but it doesn't mean 'acid kissed,' really. At least, not in any language spoken in the Caribbean by any reasonably sizeable population there.

I'm a simple man. I stick to fresh tuna.

That's what it was. Snapper Escabeche.

Dover Sole. I could eat that every day.

Will you guys make fun of me if I say salmon? I'm from the Midwestern United States, and I haven't had a lot. I like also really buffalo fish, but it has too many bones to eat regularly.

Salmon is pretty good as long as it's not that farm raised dyed and pumped with water stuff. Very good with bourbon peppercorn and some broccoli couscous.

I might get called a basic bitch but haddock is definitely one of the best fishes imo. Apparently, a lot of people who arent from the north east havent heard of it or had it before.

Salmon
Mackrel only tastes good as a cold cut.

Here's what I'm eating

Snapper, cooked over mesquite charcoal with a little lemon, salt, and pepper

You're busted. Broken. Is that dried mango or cantelope? With a side of bleucheese?

Op here, this is some red snapper I cooked earlier. Not the prettiest but even with my lack of cooking skills it was delicious, you can't fuck up with this fish.

Hi gordon

barbecue for me. Baby-back ribs, you can just taste the poor, innocent baby pigs that went into making something so delicious. We domesticated wild boar into pigs for a reason, and that reason is barbecue baby-back ribs.

Grilled sea bass I made the other day

If you really wanna elevate it, try putting some sumac on after cooking it.

seconding, sockeye salmon is delicious
never get "atlantic" salmon at the store, wild-caught is much better. i've heard king is the best wild salmon but i've never had it, only sockeye.

I disagree, but I feel that way about salmon. I will only eat cold smoked salmon. Hot salmon is horrible to me.

really hard to choose just one.
snapper is great, but so are dorado, atlantic cod, perch and many others too

I love lightly fried perch fillets

I don't have a favorite, but this looks good, I love White Sea Bass

How do you like to season it and cook it?

Where the FUCK is the FUCKing pepper? Fuck. Me.

Giant Grouper when I can get it.
Rockcod
Flounder

it's good however you want to cook it. i always like grilled fish but baked snapper is still delicious. i always use sea salt, butter, and either lemon or lime no matter how i cook it. garlic/parsley are good too, and i've tried walkerswood jerk seasoning on the grill but i think you can't go wrong going simple with just lemon and butter. snapper has a really good flavor and firm texture naturally and the lemon+butter goes really well with it, it's kinda like eating shellfish.

grouper is really good, i've never found giant grouper outside of florida. i had fried goliath grouper when i was down there and it was probably the best fried fish i've ever had.

>what is your favorite fish
YEAH I LIKE ME SOME BARBED Q PORK BABY

fucking amerimutts.

Ceviche, probably

>filthy plate on floor covered with electrical wire
I can tell you consider rice a luxury food dont you

I love me a Hammerhead Shark.

>control f
>no wahoo

come one guys

unironically anchovies

Walleye, but it's probably due to childhood memories.

There's nothing like being out on the lake in the dark of night, and sometimes hauling ass to shore when the lightning starts to strike near. The fish just tastes so much better when you get it just before or during a storm...

I was scared to cook skate but now it is one of my favourite fish. So easy to over or undercook though.

Lingcod or sablefish

pangasius or tilapia

redfish/red drum

Fucking gross. Any women who eats fish on a date is a whore. And she probably sucks so much cock. She can't smell her terrible fish breath.

If she's nordic. She's already a whore.

Maybe you fucking retards should stop eating fish. You know by 2050 88% of stocks will be overexploited at current rates of fishing, also plastic and toxin pollutants mean that fish are becoming hazardous to health. You fucking idiots are killing the oceans. Enjoy your fucking McJellyfish sandwich in 2060.

The filet o fish fish

snapper is great, and super easy to catch. Those fuckers will bite at anything.
I live in an area no native to them, and the closest comparison is scup.
mackerel is bait for better fish.

The ocean needs to stop being a fag and git gud

I’m not gonna day it’s the tastiest because it’s not, but growing up along the Great Lakes yellow lake perch has enormous nostalgic value for me, and whenever it’s available to me I’ll pay whatever they’re asking to relive that.

Never had it but it's probably very similar to walleye since it's in the same family so I'd imagine it's an excellent fish.

Salmon

Yup. Pickerel is also basically the same thing, even lake sunfish (ie pumpkinseed) are difficult to distinguish, although the last are a bit ‘fisher’ normally (although all of the above mentioned taste of ‘fish’ unlike some super mild whitefish).

The main difference is walley or pickerel tend to be caught by the handful, while yellow perch can often be caught by the hundred, so it encourages different preparation: perch are probably more commonly eaten at ‘frys’ where pretty much all you’re eating is one fillet after another after another after another, simply battered any fried.

Fresh yellow lake perch are fantastic. My other favorite inland fish is black crappie.

Swordfish

North America abounds in great whitefish in natural abundance. It’s a shame the government goes to such efforts to artificially stock game fish to keep the bass-boat crowd happy (which eat the whitefish).

>not needing to stock bass
Fuck you and fuck every speed-boater and pontoon faggot that destroys the reeds. I wouldn't have a problem with your statement if there weren't pricks ruining the ecosystem drunkenly destroying cover for bass.

AFAIK mostly they stock salmon/trout, which eat all the perch.

Salmon and trout aren't typically found in lakes though. Riverfish aside, they stock several stillwater fishes, and often because of jackasses.

To hell with perch though, I think of all the perch I've caught only two or three didn't have worms. They were delicious but fuck are they parasite-ridden.

I don't usually eat fish because it smells but I like fish sticks.

I'm pretty sure there were some trout species in the inland NA lakes natively, but most trout/salmon are stocked (dunno if they now reproduce natively or not).

I'm vaguely aware of this because it's been an ongoing issue between the US and Canada: Canada still has a (tiny) commercial fishing fleet on the lakes and so oppose the US stocking the lakes in the interest of game fishers.

anything that you caught yourself

Good tip. I might try that if I run into sumac.

Probably not objectively the best, but I swear to god the most I've enjoyed fish is fresh rainbow trout that I just pulled outta the creek and threw on my cast iron while I was traveling and camping around the country. That and I also grew up fishing for largemouth bass as well, so they always bring back some serious nostalgia.

A little bit of butter, salt, and pepper sizzling in my cast iron skillet as the sun sets over the creek I'm camping along as the fire crackles happily... Fucking Christ I miss that. Ready for spring.

Meant to respond to But yeah, Atlantic salmon is depressing. King is king.
