As a matter of fact we do eat alot of fish. My husband has a friend that brings us fresh salmon and pan fish when he goes fishing.
We started eating more fish about 3 years ago whe my husband had a massive heart attack at the age of 47 and wasn't expected to live. He had to end up getting a heart transplant which we thank God everyday for.
So we do watch what we eat more now than we use to, becasue we are more educated now on the good food and not so much the bad food.
We do slip off to McDonald's or Burger King once in awhile for a burger and they really taste good because that is the only time we eat any red meat anymore.

Fish isn't my favourite food but I don't hate it. I don't eat them often too but my mom does. I already know about the omega3 facts but that doesn't change what I feel about them. My way of cooking them never change too. Usually I just steam them with some soy sauce, garlic and ginger.

Why don´t you try other recipes? Maybe you would like it better. Fish can even be eaten raw.

I try to but in this area it can be expensive for a few good pieces. I usually buy it when it is on sale and freeze it. I try to grill it so that it isn't sitting in grease or butter but it can break easily if you are cooking pieces instead of a whole fish. the catfish nuggets are the best when they are cooked with a little bit of butter and some fresh garlic.

I love fish very much. But I do not know how to cook it. But one thing I know, that is to eat it.

Fish is so good that any way you cook it, it ill be wonderful. Two days ago I made some salmon for a friend who only eats veggies and fish. I salted and peppered it, squeezed some lemon juice and set it in a bed or onions. A bit of oil and to my little electric oven. It was done in minutes. If you like it juicier, you put foil over it.

I don't cook fish as often as I used to when I lived closer to the ocean. Living in Oklahoma, I find that the fish that is available in grocery stores is not as fresh as it could be, in fact I can frequently smell the fish the moment I step foot into the store. A definite turn-off. When I do buy fish, I usually buy product that is flash-frozen. At lest as it thaws it smells fresh.

Fish is SO delicate, friend! I´m lucky to live in a place where ocean is always near

I have always loved fish and eaten lots of it, especially fish and chips!
Where I live it is not easy to get fresh fish but I have found some frozen varieties that are quite good. I like it curried, fried or the healthier way, cooked in milk with some chopped onions. In fact I think I will just go and cook some now. Thanks for the idea.

I usually buy a special mix of spices for fish curry when I am on holiday in Asia.
Maybe your local Asian shop could help or you could try a Garam Masala mix.
I lightly fry onions with olive oil in a wide pan then add one or two tins of crushed tomatoes, green and red peppers with maybe some broccoli before adding spices. When simmering nicely I lay the fish, cut in roughly 1 and a half inch squares, on the top and press down gently so that they are just covered by the mixture. I then cook a further 4 to five minutes.
Sometimes depending on the spice mix I have used I will add some desiccated coconut or a tin of coconut milk. I don't use a recipe when cooking but just use what ingredients I have available and experiment with different spices so it is difficult to really give exact instructions. Hope it works out well if you try it.

Since I have got diabetes, i have changed my cooking and eating habits.. I used to cook and eat red meat before but when my doctor told me that red meat is a big no no for me, i have decided to change my lifestyle.. now, i am just preparing healthy dishes like fish, veggies and seafood.. fish is healthy to eat.. it's rich in omega3 fatty acid most especially tuna fish.. it's good for the heart! i also like blue marlin, salmon, dory, tilapia, deboned milkfish and tambakol(filipino fish)..
