Tilapia, haddock, salmon or shrimp?

I love fish, but we don't get it often enough for me. We have cut our beef intake, and getting most of our protein in beans.. Tonight my husband is picking up cod, that is another really good fish.. All my fish is cooked with lemon and garlic and parsley and then broiled.. I also noticed you mentioned chicken. Chickens are also abused and may have problems, so I cut down on that also...

Well, I just have to say that while the cows may not be slaughtered very nicely...are fish and chicken slaughtered any nicer? I've watch the history channel and other shows that show how fisherman "catch" the fish, and of course there are the ones that they dont' show that "equal" the bad cow slaughters, but the ones they do show - corraling the fish into a netting cage and then pulling them up out of water so they can't breathe and then cutting their heads off..and the chickens - probably not far from the same as the cows...don't see much difference! If that is the reason for not eating one thing over the other...God gave us this food to eat. fish, beef, chicken... we can only do so much. But...since fish is all more expensive than I can afford, I cant' stand the smell, and can't stand most of the flavors - me and seafood just part ways. I like lobster, King crab legs if fresh, I like fried clams and shrimp but since they are more expensive than I can afford and with the fat of the fried part, I'll just pass on seafood!

Name of the fishes caught my attention. I am from india and a bengali. we have fish everyday as part of the meal. We say it Telapia and its very commonly available fish. Due to sudden outbreak of Bird flu, we are not taking chicken. so its mainly fish for us and also mutton sometimes.We clean Telapia fish, rub some turmeric and salt on it. It a pan take some oil, heat that and fry the fishes. Now keep the fishes aside and put some green chillies(1-2), mustard paste on a little oil. add turmeric, salt pieces of 1 tomato and add water. boil for 2 minutes. now add the fried fishes with it and cook for another 4-5 minutes. It will be good with rice.

My family has always been a big fish seafood eating family. I limit red meat to 2 times a week. Then its lean roast or ground beef. Tilapia is a fantastic fish, along with grouper, that you have not mentioned here. I also fry a mean catfish. But for cheaper dinners through out the week, whiting or cod works well. Simply broil with lemon and seasonings, it is not only delicious but fast as well.

I've been watching this discussion to see what everyone has come up with! I do the same old with breading the fish or baking with olive oil and seasoning, so I don't have anything new to add. I just wanted to add that I get the best ideas from your and some others discussions. Who would have thought when I joined myLot that I'd be jotting down recipes as well. whit

Your plan sounds wonderful! I do have a couple of recipes you might like in my blog at www.recipes-for-real-people.com Search for "greek fish" and again for "shrimp" to find them. The fish recipe would work with any or all of the varieties of seafood that you mention, though I use blue hake that I get from Schwan's (you know, the guys with the yellow truck with the swan on the side). Let me know if you try the recipe!

Hi Janis, We love Tilapia. We buy the filets a lot and even love the whole Tilapia. Either way, place the fish in a casserole dish, drizzle the fish with olive oil and sprinkle it with lemon pepper. Cover with foil and bake. Serve with anything. Also, there is a fish coating called Zatarin's Fish Coating or something like that. It comes in a yellow box. We use the southern fish fry style. Coat the fish and fry it in a small amount of oil. It's awesome. I serve it with fried potatoes or make a fish sandwich out of it. There's loads of recipes for fish. I'm sure you'll get a bunch. We've added fish to our regular menu and I try to have it at least twice a week.

I love Tilapia, that is my new favorite fish. I just put a dab of milk on it and then sprinlke it with caribbean jerk seasoning and bake it. Doesn't take long at all, Yum! yum!

Oh boy, I am hungry now. This is super easy. I like to bake tilapia in a glass baking dish with a light brushing of Italian salad dressing. It has all the seasons already in it, a little bit of oil to keep it from drying out and it is delish!! I do it often around my house. Would go great with your sides. Bon Apetite!

I place haddock or tilapia fillets in glass baking dish that has been greased with butter, I then slice butter pats on top of the fillets, sprinkle with garlic powder and lemon pepper, cover with foil and bake at 350 for about 30 minutes. I take the foil off after 20 minutes to let it brown up. Serve with lemon wedges and rice.

my local trader joes just started carrying this frozen meal called salmon mojito...it is the best for 7.99---i could not make a dish that good or that cheap.
