Here besides the pork, chicken and beef, fish is another common food for our meal. There are many kinds of fish here. Some are from the ocean and some are from the river. I think we will have fish at least four times a week. And you?

Well, when I was yet in my country, I eat fish almost everyday. It is our most common food together with rice and vegetables. But when I migrated to the USA, I seldom had fish and I seldom have rice too. My hubby is a vegetarian and I don't want to offend him cooking fish in the house. LOL.. well I eat fish when I am alone in the house but very seldom.

Well, I just don't want him to suffer the smell of the fish because it will take 2 days to get off the smell. Their houses here are close unlike ours there that we can open the doors and windows to get rid of the smell, here you can't.. so the smell will be inside for a long time. I don't want him to get sick of the smell hahahaha.... specially the dried fish? I cook outside the house when I am alone. Thanks for the BR..

No, fish isn't my common food because I don't eat non-veg. I am a vegetarian. Fish is my sister's fav dish but she can't eat it here as no one from my house likes eating fish!

Yeah, i think it's very much common here especially in our city. Fish is available anywhere in the market and for a cheap price. We got Tuna and sardines all over. Fresh fish is also served in restaurants and anywhere that serves food except McDonald's of course. lol! I think it's the best choice of food for poor people though fish prices are beginning to rise up.

haha I guess mcdonald's fish sandwich is difficult to consider as fish. when I was growing up whenever my family would go out to a restaurant (other than a pizza place) I would always order fish.

Its not common for me because its not my favorite dish and I only eat it sometimes and it depends how it is cook. When it comes to fish I rather like when it is fried with fillings like garlic, tomatoes, onions and onion leaves because it smells delicious.

Yes, I agree with you! I learned from a magazine that we should have fish at least three times per week. Scientific research shows that the proteins which fish contain are good for our health. Having fish constantly can strengthen our body and make us become more clever!

I eat a lot of fish because of it has a high protein content which is ideal after a work out at the gym, I like salmon and cod, as well as tuna and mackerel. Fish is very good for you and is good for the brain too and it's not too fattening either.

We don't eat fish every night, but we do eat it pretty often, prepared in different ways. Last night I ate some smoked salmon on french bread (a Danish openfaced sandwich), and a couple of weeks ago my husband made a really nice lemon and dill salmon. We also eat a lot of seafood.

My friend gave me the smoked salmon which is from Norway. But I have to say that it is too salty. If not, I am sure it will taste better.

I like fish but I seldom eat it because the restaurant where I always eat serves pre-cooked fried fish. I like steamed fish or fish with soup. I don't like it fried or grilled as I think it loses its flavors.

Yeah , my one roommate believe that the fish is good for health and insist every week must eat one time fish . And she think the fish soup is better than fried fish or sour-spicy fish . So she often cook the fish soup with Toufu for us every weekend ... Hmm , the soup is nice and healthy :)

We don't eat fish that much. The only fish our kids like are shrimp or breaded fish sticks. And really that's about all we have, but we have it maybe 2x a month. I'd like the shrimp alteast a lil more often but depending on where you go it's usually more expensive than other types of protein.

I never eat fish or meat. I am very happy and healthy without that stuff. I love vegetables, fruits, pasta, and many other things. I have much variety in my food and never get bored of the delicious foods I eat.

We love to eat fish, but we never do eat fish. Mercury has contaminated so many fish that eat hamburger instead of fish. Why is it that food we love so much as fish is bad for us to eat because of contamination? We do not want any more mercury entering our bodies. Our oldest son became autistic at age 12 from the mercury preservative in the MMR shot.

Yes, fish is a common meal here too. We have fish about twice a week. We mainly eat fried pan fish, buffalo ribs, and catfish. But my favorite fish is tilapa. I love to bake it.

I often eat fish as well because it is so quick to make and so light. I often am cooking meals for just one or two people, so red meats and heavier dishes aren't as favorable to us. I also like the variety I have with fish. There are so many different types of seafood and that many more ways to prepare it! I love finding new fish recipes to try.
