Jim, I just rewatched the video and I would like to try the second method soon, but we aren’t wine drinkers as we don’t care for the taste. Any suggestions on what to sub into for the deglazing and sauce addition?

I had offshore boats for 17 years and fished 26-75 miles offshore in the Gulf on a regular basis.

I often had visitors from the Midwest who told me they did not like fish until we caught some and cooked them right away. I would back the boat into the driveway, fillet the fish on the gunnel, drop them in a pan, and Mrs Greener would take them right in and cook them. We got lots of comments like "I never liked fish but this is great". Yes, because you never had fresh fish before. The shite they feed you in grade school that they claim is fish has turned many against fish for life. Can anyone remember the hockey pucks then claimed were salmon coquettes? I think they were made from the fish parts they swept from the floor at the canning factory.

I don't have a boat anymore but we have a fish market locally that has their own fishing fleet so it is always fresh. And salmon that is flown in every morning.

By the way, I regard sushi as bait.

I love seafood, but fish are my least favorite. with crab, shrimp, scallops, oysters and (some) clams more preferable. Stuffed soft crab, Yum!

I didn't see anyone else mention filet of Atlantic flounder, or filet of rockfish (striped bass). Fried or broiled. Nice white meat.

All of these should be fresh and locally sourced.

Late to the show, but I plank salmon on the grill using a dry rub recipe included in the cedar planks from Costco. Everyone loves it and cleanup is non-existent. Try to hit 125-130, but is still good if you overshoot it. Flake it up on a green salad you can skip the dressing. This is one of those go-to dishes men should have to make people think you’re a rockstar.

Add some asparagus beside it on the grill and the ladies will love you and men admire you, lol. At least my daughters,

Lots of good suggestions above. My favorite is smoked salmon. I grew up on this stuff. Lox, sable, herring.....I like to call it jewish soul food:

The sturgeon. Don't forget the smoked sturgeon. And the smoked trout. And the whitefish chubs.

With a fresh bialy. A serving of scrambled eggs is optional.

Lionfish is delicious! Give it a try if you see it on the menu. Not fishy, light and tender flesh.

Fresh fish flown in is NOT cheap. Here is our local outstanding fishmonger. Got my halibut cheeks from them last year.

I don't cook but I eat a lot of fish. My favorites are haddock, cod, flounder, and catfish. (I only eat those fried.) I'm also fond of red salmon, broiled, and canned tuna. Other mild white fish are sole and perch.

Yep, my favorite order at Red Lobster--fried flounder with a baked potato (bare). It's a pretty big serving, too.

Flashguy, I'm not sure how to tell you this, but Red Lobster is like the fast food version of seafood.

Having said that, my father loved good food and traveled the world eating the best. But he was always up for going to Red Lobster. So I guess my argument is moot. Big Grin

I'd use water or maybe water with a little more lemon juice. Don't overcook it!

I know many people feel that way, but I'm pretty much a "fast food" eater, anyway. The flounder is about the only dish I eat at Red Lobster.

I suspect you'd also label any place that serves catfish as a "fast food" place--certainly all the ones around here are of that type. But there's a great sit-down restaurant in Denison, TX (Huck's) that serves a fantastic meal of catfish, salad, fries, and hushpuppies. I eat there every time I go up there to visit my Best Friend.

FWIW, I don't do "seafood"--I do "fish". If it didn't have fins I don't like it.
