Tilapia, haddock, salmon or shrimp?

I have had mahi mahi and like it. I tried swordfish once or twice and it's ok. I tried shark once too, again OK. My son is the one I have to try to please here with a more mild fish. I took out the tilapia and am putting in in a bread crumb/flour mixture with parm cheese and italian herbs and will bake it on a foil lined pan for a while. I have the veggies in the steamer waiting to turn on the fire underneath and my boyfriend is on his way home with the rice (I didn't have any). Isn't he nice:) I am with you on the shrimp, I can do a ton of things there.

Thanks! I tried it for the first time last week and it is what I took out again today. I wanted my son to try the salmon, but he turned his nose up to it and I do want him to eat. He is very tall and thin. He needs all the good food I can get into him:) I didn't know it originated in Africa. I have noticed it hitting the supermarkets like wildfire in the last year or so. Thanks!

Sorry, Salmon is one of my faves...I like everything else too,
Most whitefish will absorb the flavors around them...Makes 'em fun 2 cook...
I once did catfish fillets breaded w/leftover crumbs from a potato chip bag...
OMG! I learve Salmon, a little Lemon & dill...

I think I will do the salmon one day this week on top of a salad, your dill and lemon sounds good!

I'll look up the recipe for greek fish that you suggest. I have never heard of blue hake? I used to get Schwan's but have not for years! I used to really like every thing I bought from them though. Can't remember why I stopped having them come out, probably money at the time. Maybe I'll give them a call again. I pass their trucks all of the time!

Just let me know if you see any of those drivers with yellow hair!

I will let you know. I pass their "home base" a lot out in my area. Loads of trucks there, but they are usually either out on the job, or parked for the day when I pass by. Drew dyed his hair yellow once, I about had a cow!

Your recipe sounds wonderful! Thanks very much! I'll try that. I"ll bet that would be good with many varities of fish as well.

Broil is a good idea. I actually baked with italian seasoning bread crumbs. It was very good with the rice and steamed vegetables. I think I tried grouper once. If I remember correctly, I liked it quite a bit. Thank you and have a great day!

Beans...........well I like em, but they don't like me:) Yes, I like cod as well, it was just not on sale the other day. The salmon was buy one get one free! I love those deals! Yes, the lemon, garlic and parsley sound wonderful. I think about the chickens too.....geez,........... vegan?

Yeah, either that or buy locally or raise the animals yourself.. I know, it really is bad, I can't stand it either..As for the beans, I heard that if you don't eat them often, it would not agree with you. It didn't with me at first and now it doesn't bother me.. Or maybe you could try bean-o?

We are going to attempt a garden this year. All fresh vegetables at least. Or, what we can gleen from our vast fields:) I've seen the bean-o ads, but never tried it.......oh dear, the things that we have to worry about!

growing your own, especially if you do it organically, is a wonderful idea and good investment in your health.. And preparing now is also a good idea. Start some seeds now so that by the time your garden is ready, you will have starter plants ready to be planted..

I don't know exactly where you are in the states, but the further south you are,the sooner you can plant.. I suggest you look into this site where they can help you find your planting zone and even with some plants..

I will check that michigan bulb web site out. I used to get their catalogs. We are in Ohio. Most people around here begin their gardens at memorial day and are usually taking them down at labor day. I am going to try to plan it to have some colder weather vegetables planted a bit later to prolong the garden and healthy eating. I have a good plan in my head, we'll see if it works out my way:) Thanks!

Really? I am in Ohio too and planting around Memorial day is the better time to plant. It used to be mid-May, but with the weather we have been having, I think waiting the extra few weeks is a wise thing to do..:)

I hope your garden works for you. Remember, it may not be what you think it should be the first year or so, it takes some mistakes to learn how to grow a beautiful garden for your area..:)

Well, you are probably right about the inhumane treatment of our treatment of the food supply. I have had lobster before and it was just fine, but it is expensive. I had crab legs once and they were ok too. I like crab cakes a lot! I get those as an appetizer when we go out to eat. Clams..........yuck-o I can sure do with out those slimey things:)

I don't eat any of it at home. Just not the same! I can't afford it anyway! But I got hooked on crab legs many years ago when it was $3.99 a pound! Now, up to $20 - don't see it much. Altho there is a brand of imitation crab meat that I like for on a sald - havent done that in awhile! Should look next time at grocery. Lobster - FOrget how I first had that, it is okay, but so rich and sweet and expensive, and can't remember when I had that lst, but it was good. The fired shrimp and clams - I got hooked on those when we lived in Las Vegas and the buffets were $5-$9 and tons of seafood. They didn't have lobster much, but they did have crab legs -snow crab is good, just more trouble than it is worth, but for $5 I worked at it! And the fried clams and shrimp were so good! I loved living in LV - I ate for free most of the time!

My sister lived there for a while, but I never had the opportunity to visit. People here in my office LOVE to go there and gamble. I am not a gambler. But, would like to go for the experience!

We were there for work reasons, but I figured how to make that city pay me! I joined every slot club on in town (on weekends walked the strip and took advantage of the freebies and 99¢ stuff) and then once on the mailing lists, they send to locals, got free buffets, BOGO's on all kinds of things. I seldom cooked a meal as why cook when you can get it free? I also learned the tricks about the slots, I don't gamble either, just play video poker. But many of the casinos had "cash your pay check here and get $5 in tokens" for the slots machines. So I'd take my pay check, cash it, get my $5 in tokens and go play the $5. When it was gone, so was I but while there I got free drinks and a 99 cent hotdog, and enjoyed myself for an hour or so! If I won anything, I'd cahs out and go home! The point the casino was trying to do was get people in there with their paycheks and play till the paycheck was gone! I just played till the free money was gone! I had lots of little things like that that I did and hardly spent any money! Idon't think they are doing htat much these days. Husband is therenow inconstruction building those huge resorts/spas/hotels and they don't have lot of that stuff anymroe he says and the whole town is changing so much, it hardly isn't even fun to go! They took out the money for slots - now you put in your money or dollar bills or credit card and there is no clanking of the money as it comes out, no bells going off....it gives you a receipt and you have to go find the cashier and redeem for your cash!!!

I made the tilapia with rice/steamed vegetables and some fresh bread from the bakery. It was a very nice meal. I seasoned the tilapia seasoned similar to your recipe above. I wanted the salmon, since we had the tilapia last week, but my son turned his nose up to it. I'll grill salmon one day this week and top a salad with it. Thanks!

Sounds good... so we both had tilapia last night.:-) What are you serving tonight? Homemade BBQ Chicken Pizza and macaroni salad here.

Last night we had potato cheddar soup and crustinnis. The soup was from a kit Tastefully Simple..........it was actually quite good. I added bacon, rosemary and cracked black, but it really didn't need a thing and was ready in 30 minutes. I have never tried anything from them before, but I will have it again (there were 2 in the box). Tonight, I took out of the freezer, some of the pasta (spinich fetuccini) that I made a couple of weeks ago and will make alfredo sauce, salad and garlic bread. How about you?

Try Breading whatever U got w/leftover Potato Chips... The chips U wood throw away anyway... Just the pieces, cover Tilapia Fillets, Catfish, Salmon, Haddock, etc... UL B amazed...
Mondoh...

Hummm, potato chip crumbs.........like the bottom of the bag, jar or container with Rachael Ray! Sounds interesting. I may try that some day, if my son ever leaves any crumbs!:) Thanks!

I'm going to remember to save the bottom of the bag. I wonder if this would work with the Doritos corn chips as well. i know that tilapia comes with the southwest chipotle breading that it fantastic.

I wonder why the spelling would be changed for our packaging? I have no idea, but yes the fish is delicious. And, also very affordable here as well. I am interested in the food habits of other countries, how do you make your gravy? Thanks so much for posting here in my discussion! Have a great day!

The way we make it can be had only with boiled rice and with our fingers…so not very convenient for you. Anyway, we cut it into pieces and then wipe the fish with salt and turmeric (takes away any fishy smell lol and turmeric is a good antiseptic too). Then we lightly fry the fish on both sides. Then we make a add chopped tomatoes, some green chillies, powdered cumin and coriander, some diced potatoes and sauté the mixture for sometime (chk for salt of course). Then add water and as the light gravy starts boiling, gently add the fried fish (too much boiling will leave the fish pulpy). After sometime check if the potatoes are done and if yes, garnish with some coriander leaves, switch off the gas, take some boiled rice, add the fish & gravy on top, squeeze some lime juice and enjoy! Typical Bengali style I must say. But I want to try baking and grilling the same fish but I don’t think I will be able to do justice to either the fish or the recipe.

Well, your recipe sounds really good and interesting. I think I'll use a fork though:) Thanks for the information here!

Oh no, you cant use a fork. why do you think we use our fingers...the fish is not deboned. You have to take out the bones from the cooked fish while eating (or maybe people used to using a fork know a way of taking out the bones).

Oh, I see. My boyfriend actually pulled 3 bones out of his, but I didn't have any in mine, nor did my son in his. I did not even think about that. Have a great day!
