Tilapia is one of my favoritre fish and JJ's correct, no fishy taste there.But thren I feel I am addicted to fish. My client in Alaska brought me fresh, flash frozen salmon and halibut when she came here and OMG, I was in seventh heaven. Ate it all up too. My freezer contains a dozen or so Talipia right now, as well as some shrimps and scallops. I usually haver crab cakes too but am out.

We eat a lot of tilapia, it's one of our favourites too. Hubby's really good at cooking fish. He puts lemon pepper on it.

Chatty, that's one of the things I miss most about living on the East Coast, the abundant availability of fresh fish and seafood. One of my best friends' brother owned a lobster fishing boat/license and she often brought over fresh-frozen (ie, caught, cleaned and frozen right there on the boat) lobster, scallops and halibut.

We have shrimp in the fridge constantly. I'm a cod lover being from Newfoundland. Also had a friend who was a lobster fisherman and delivered it to me just cooked.
EH, The very last time I jigged a Codfish, we cooked it on the boat. The pieces were still moving as we put it in the hot water to stew. The best I ever ate.
My mate at the time was a Crab Fisherman and we boiled em right off the boat. We used a BIG tub and neigbours came from all around to feast with us...early in the morning. Crab for breakfast.
Chatty, I ate scallops live off the shell from the wharf. I love em raw.
I've never had Talapia...must try it sometime. Any recipe?

Oh Chick, my Mom loved cod too. She couldn't stand lobster (always called it Newfie bologna - for the rest of her life she preferred real bologna to lobster). When I was in Nova Scotia, cod was hard to come by. It was more expensive than shrimp and scallops. I used to stop by the fisherman's wharf on my way home from work. I was very poor in those days, but could buy about $2.00 worth of fish or seafood and it was always enough. Hubby loves crab. He grew up in Sept-Iles (northern Quebec, not far from the Labrador border). He has lots of stories about he and his brothers catching crabs, clams and raiding lobster traps and cooking them over a fire right on the beach. Oh what wouldn't he give for fresh crab for breakfast!

We have to go back to Newfoundland!

Sept Isles? My Dad worked there for years...and I had friends who lived there for a few years. Small world.

We still go back every year, sometimes 2-3 times. We always enjoy going...it has a beautiful boardwalk all along the harbour where everyone gathers throughout the day. Hubby knows just about everyone there...many of his family (and there are hundreds of cousins!!) still live there (never left.)

Clean fresh salt air, friendly people, good food...sigh. Just a really nice place to relax...and then we've sometimes taken a detour through PEI on our way home. Yep, we call it a detour. Even though all told it's about a week out of our way! What can I say, we love the ocean...maybe one of these years we'll take a "detour" through Newfoundland!

BTW, where did your Dad work?

I've heard from others that Tilapia doesn't taste fishy. Next
time I get to the store, I'll get some. Every once in a while I buy Orange Roughy; coat it in pancake batter; and fry it on top
of the stove. IMO that is really good. OR doesn't taste fishy,
either.

I really like Orange Roughy, too although I don't fry it, I bake it in lemon juice and pepper as well. I had forgotten about that.

jawjaw,
I'll have to try it baked. That sounds good. Orange Roughy is
sort of expensive. But, to me, it's well worth the price.
Are there any other fishes that don't taste fishy besides
Tilapia and Orange Roughy?
