I HATE fish! But I need to eat it. Recipes wanted.?

maybe work your way up slow by starting with unhealthy fish, like fish and chips, fried catfish, or fried shrimp. Then maybe a bit of scampi with enough garlic to kill the fish taste.

also if you buy fresh fish the taste and smell are not as overpowering.

Perhaps start with the most mild-tasting fish such as cod, tilapia, orange roughie or halibut. Once you have a taste for these, you can work your way up to the ones higher in Omega 3s such as tuna, mackerel & salmon.

Here’s a simple breading that you can use on the fish (my very picky husband loves this):

Fish fillets of your choice
Equal parts fresh (or purchased) breadcrumbs and crushed pecan pieces.
Salt & pepper to taste (add a dash of cayenne powder if you like some zing)
Dash of dijon mustard

Mix together breadcrumbs, pecan pieces & salt/pepper.
Just dab a teeny amount of dijon on the fish fillets and then coat the fish in the breadcrumb mixture. Bake at 350F for about 25 min or until brown on top.

This is very tasty & the texture of the breading helps offset the ultra smooth texture of the fish.

You could also make a tomato-based fish chowder (check for online recipes). That way, you’re not just staring at a piece of fish on a plate. You’ll have a lovely broth with potatoes, veggies and some chunks of mild, white flaky fish.

I also make salmon panini sandwiches. Just pre bake a salmon fillet (or purchase from your natural grocery store). Put some balsamic vinaigrette on nice sandwich bread. Add salmon. Put on some roasted red peppers, lettuce & tomato (if you must, add some cooked bacon). Put the sandwich together, brush a bit of olive oil on outside of bread & grill on a grill pan on both sides.

Hope these suggestions help! Hopefully, over time, you’ll really learn to love seafood. Enjoy & good luck.

I don’t like fish either. But I do like these modified fish tacos I make. I use tilapia. Not as good for you as salmon, but it doesn’t have nearly the fishy flavor salmon does. Here’s the nutritional information.

You don’t have to make it as spicy as I do, but the spice level is up to you. I mix together about 2 tbsp. (by eye) each salt, pepper, cumin, chili powder and olive oil. Rub this mixture 4 fillets. Sautee on a high heat about 3 minutes per side and remove from the heat. Let them sit. They will get a nice crust on the outside and be juicy on the inside.

I use cole slaw mix, but you can shred up your own cabbage if you like. I mix this with about 2/3 container of sour cream, about 3 tbsp. hot sauce and diced cilantro. Season with salt and pepper. Let this sit about 1/2 hour. Then add 1 diced tomato and 1/2 diced cucumber.

Layer the fish in a soft taco shell and top with the cabbage mixture.

Do you like salmon? Salmon is a great tasting fish and it’s full of vitamins and nutrients.

I found a recipe on the Internet for salmon.
I am including a link.
I made it several times and we enjoy it very much.

Try Dominick’s tilapia tortia crusted. It doesn’t have a fishy taste and it has good Mexican taste. Dominick’s sells tilapia already marinaded and everyone taste good. Bake according to directions.

Try Whiting it’s a mild fish but fried it tastes pretty good.
I soak it in milk for 1/2 hr rinsed and pat dry, season well
old bay seasoning or Cajun seasoning . Mix 1/2c corn meal with 1/3c flour add seasoning you used on fish in mix ( I mix in a freezer bag) coat fish well, and fry in skillet with veg oil.
