Weird question maybe, but I don’t think I ever liked the taste of fish, except when I was young. I vaguely remember eating fish fingers and (I think) plaice. But then I stopped and never went back to it. I dislike the smell, I find salmon bland (although that may have been the salmon I tasted once). Are there any particular fish that would make the crossover from chicken to fish easier? Or any recipes that don’t disguise the taste of the fish too much, but make it more palatable for somebody that isn’t crazy about the taste? I see the health benefits and would love to just get stuck in, but there seems to be a block with the associated smell and I guess a one off bad one that put me off eating it. I picked up cod in the supermarket today, and then decided I should ask here first…😁 So hopefully I get a mixture of answers, but mostly some helpful. Thanks for reading.
Edit. Wow, wasn’t expecting to see this many replies. I have already seen some great ideas that I’m definitely going to try. I have to go through them all.
If you found salmon bland, then “fishy” tasting fish probably won’t be a problem for you. Cod is a very mild and delicious fish and it’s what I would have recommended.
If fishiness isn’t going to bother you then you can probably cook it any way you want. Oven roasted or pan seared would be good bets. If you wanted something to make it delicious and not mask the taste too much, fried fish in a simple batter can’t be beat imo.
I also don’t like many fish I think of as ‘fishy’ and salmon is not one of them, meaning I don’t percieve it as fishy. So I think maybe not everyone means the same thing by ‘fishy’.
