You can Put lemon and black pepper on them .I like mine fried ,to me that's the best way to eat them.If you cook them any other way ,then I would like to hear about it .Please post what kind of fish you like to eat and how you prepare it .

Have had catfish down South couple times from fish farm. Decent for a bottom feeder but in wild kinda iffy.
My go to fish usually salmon, taplia, but for special occasion it's restaurant halibut. Man that's a wicked good white fish.
Lady friend prefers Boston cod but willing to go for the halibut. Thick sweet white meat wonder. Has to be prepared in a large plenty hot oven which is why I prefer outside eating. Can make others myself pan fried.
Got a thing for shrimp lately.

Where I am we have steelhead, king and coho salmon, walleye, northern pike, large and small mouth bass, brown and brook trout and a wide selection of rough fish; I like to fish smaller streams for trout, I tie my own flies with nymphs and streamers pulling in the biggest trout, a spritz of lemon over some cracked pepper & sea salt with fresh sage is excellent. For volume, smoked salmon is great, though it doesn't last long maybe a month after I get a couple of fish smoked they're all gone, everyone here likes smoked salmon. smiley

@BoonEvil Walleye is supposed to be a great fish to catch and is a very delicious fish. You must live in the Northern states around Michigan.

@BoonEvil Yummy selections! Envy those choices. Once upstate NY I spent an afternoon out on a lake & just caught one small mouth bass. Wife alone caught nada but made that one fish ample for both of us. Man that was some wicked good eats. Have heard good things about those salmon & walleye. Try halibut if get chance though more of an Atlantic fish.

True sea bass is my favorite but due to the vast increase in overfishing, you are not supposed to eat them. In the nineties, Americans had much more availability of various kinds of fish in fresh markets.

I've lived in various places internationally that were near the ocean. Some of these places had quite a variety of fresh catch. In Latin America you could daily have ceviche. That is delicious but an unusual recipe as the fish is "cooked" by fresh citrus acid. Shrimp and sea scallops are typical but most any kind of fish can be used in this recipe.

I've lived in Japan and Okinawa too. So sashimi is raw fish that has been treated. My favorite is maguro which is raw tuna. My second choice is hamachi which is yellowtail. In the Caribbean, I frequently ate sashimi.

Unagi is cooked eel and a Japanese dish. That is delicious every once in awhile.

I'm a country redneck boy like you. So I've eaten a lot of blackened catfish and red snapper eaten Cajun style. Snapping turtle is great as long as they are not too big as they then get "muddy" tasting. Crawdads (crayfish) are excellent.

@AnhedoniaNightmare Right about sea bass over-fished, especially those from Chile. NY chefs wouldn't offer it last I heard until the stocks have rebuilt.
Tilapia offered a lot now but I find it pretty bland. Like salmon they throw lemon, and nearly everything on the stuff to little effect. Maybe a slow oven bake but who bothers vs usual pan.
Lost any taste for it.

I eat Unagi every time I go to Publix ,they have a sushi there and I buy the eel . I can't get enough of it but it cost $12.00 for 9 pieces . I like to eat soft shell turtles and crawfish, even mud fish .I learnt how to clean them and cook them ,but I only eat them when I have nothing else to eat .

@gregsohappy The Japanese will joke about unagi and say crude things about what it does to the male appendage. It's supposed to be like viagra.

This is the proper Italian way to make clam linguini so they are not sandy.

Bushcraft folks use the old ancestral ways and will eat just about anything using a variety of methods that include Native American wisdom.

I had to chase out some boys who were running into the forest to get to a creek. They were overharvesting frogs by gigging them.

There is a joke about carp in my state. We hate the carp that got introduced into our rivers as they crowd out the game fish. They are so abundant and will leap as motorboats drive through the river and actual end up in the boat!

Anyways, you take a carp and rub manure on them and bake this in hardwood ashes. Then you eat the manure because carp tastes worse than manure.

Not really. Carp does tastes fine when smoked as in the video. Actually some ethnic folks like carp, believe it or not. A smart redneck could live off carp and they love corn so they are easy to catch and huge in size.

Because some won't believe me, here are "flying" asian carp as they leap. Redneck boys will actually just drive around and some will leap right in and others will knock them in the jon boat

Some Native American discovered that if you take walnuts that still have their green husks, and put that in water, then that concoction will paralyze fish as it interferes with their gills. They can't breathe so they come up to surface and are easily netted.

The scientific reason is that water has jugalone compounds in it. That's why a smart gardener will not plant walnut trees anywhere near gardens as it is an antagonist plant (the opposite of companion planting.

Similarly to get worms for fishing, you pour this walnut husk water into soil and the worms come to the surface so you don't have to dig for them.

@Nasos Boil them in a stock made from water, onions, peppercorns, vinegar, juice & zest of lemon, salt and bay leaves.
Medium shimmer for about 20 minutes. After they are cooked you can remove the peppercorns and bay, then let it cool. The liquid will solidify in to a jelly.
People usually add more vinegar to taste after they are served.

@DemandingFemale I've tasted in the past fish boiled with bay leaves and peppercorns. I think i'm getting the idea of how will taste. Sounds nice! thanks

I wonder how many city snobs would die if they had to actually catch their own fish, trap, hunt, and raise plants and critters?

Urbanites are frequently useless in terms of practical ancestral skills. Whereas country folks know how to survive and are frugal.

Imagine what some 3rd world people think about such effete snobbery.

@AnhedoniaNightmare where I live we must raise our own food or go out into the woods to get it . But the food that's in the wild is better for you .

I love to fish so when my husband and I travel outside our city, we enjoy several types. However, my favourite is COD fish and we salt it to last longer as well for the taste and part of culture. Usually served as Fish N Brewis which includes molasses and "scrunchins". God bless the East-coast and all it's abundance.

Halibut is a delicious fish I frequently ate in Maine.
www.youtube.com/watch?v=9vPg3ePB...
Note how wonderfully "meaty" the flesh is on a halibut and how fast pansearing produces not only a delicious repast but also how lovely the presentation ie eye appeal. It therefore is pleasing to the plate and palate.

I hate to say my mom raised me to HATE seafood as she did. I have tried a few things over the years but it is the consistency that gets me Everytime. My husband is a former chef and it kills him that I don't eat fish or any other seafood. 🦀🐟

I hear ya Teeny, at least when it comes to fresh water fish. I can eat catfish and it's Ok, but the only fresh water fish I really like is crappie, which is delicious!

Now gimme shrimp, crab or lobster and I'll eat just about as much as I can get my hands on smiley

@mrkim56 There ya go. Had a mess of Baltimore blue soft shell crabs in season (end summer) and tons of beer. Friends & I totally tore into a double serving (ordered seconds) pounded open on large sheets of brown paper. Tremendous. One guy's 15 yr old daughter would not dig in. Just salad. Boy ain't youth wasted on the young. Good thing since more for rest of us...

Live on the coast where scallops, lobster, clams etc are abundant. I prefer salmon to most fish, but have to mention, I had a Nile perch once, and it was, oh heck, the tastiest fish I've ever had! Also had a sea bass in Turkey which was a very close second.
