seafood - best tasting fish?

[InRareForm]

I have only had the basic.... salmon, tilapia, trout, etc.

What's the best thing (fish) to order at these nice seafood restaurants?

Well, let's see... Wild guess...

Uranium is green. Maybe a fish caught in Japanese waters?

[Wild Cobra]

I haven't had many different types of fish, but barbequed freshwater eel is pretty tasty!

Chilean Sea Bass.

Wiki is probably accurate on this:

Shark or Tuna steak as well. Mahi-Mahi too. I'd stick to one of those 4 unless you really enjoy Salmon or something like that.

I really like Salmon, but I have the luxury of being able to buy it cheap from the Indians that fish out out of the Columbia too.

Chilean Sea Bass.

I've only had it once, but I'd go with DPG on this one. Chilean Sea Bass is pretty awesome.

I fish pretty much every weekend during the summer in Mexico. Out of San Diego we get dorado, yellowtail, yellowfin, bluefin, albacore, and various sharks. I've eaten it all raw on the boat and cooked. Dorado was my favorite. Recently tried monchong while in Maui at a place called Merriman's. unreal fish, best ever.

[lil'mo]

Super white tuna

[CuckingFunt]

When it comes to seafood I tend to be pickier about how it's prepared (the simpler the better) and how fresh it is than I am about what type of fish it is. Other than shellfish, which I hate (and to which I am very mildly allergic), or the little oily ones like sardines and such, I've yet to encounter a fish I can't like. If I were to pick a favorite, though... off the top of my head I'd probably go halibut.

[silverblk mystix]

Swordfish is good. Red snapper, cod, halibut, sea bass, eel - all these are tasty.

When it is in sushi I think freshness is paramount.

[Thebesteva]

What is that?

Dolphin fish. Fun to go fishing for those.

Seems the simplest solution would be to not read my posts, then.

Not disagreeing with you here - but did you ever stop to think why it is that this "pretentious" thing is always said about you by more than a few posters here?

No. I've never cared. Why would I?

Well, because if it comes to light that you come off as pretentious to a bunch of people, it might behoove you to be aware of how you come off. Unless you want to be a pretentious person.

I've been called pretentious by a number of people ONLY on this particular online message board. Usually in regard only to the fact I use big words and proper punctuation. Usually when the person calling me pretentious is in the midst of an extended hissy fit. And only by people who have no idea who or what I am as a person.

Again, why would I care even half an iota about that?

CuckingFunt is accused of being pretentious by a bunch of pixels. I, however, do not "come off as pretentious to a bunch of people." Based on your posing habits, I would not be terribly surprised if you didn't see the difference between those two statements.

[Wild Cobra]

I am often seen as pretentious. Now sometimes, I do make misjudgements and say more on topics I am not so familiar with. It has caused people to jump to the conclusion I don't know what I speak of, and I make it worse by not clearly stating between opinion and fact. Now CF and I have had some serious differences, but this is completely unwarranted, in this topic of personal preference. That said, it seems to me that CF is far less pretentious than most in here, including the two of you on her case.

I'll take some fresh just about to get fucked pussy...that shit be juicy, wet, and creamy....the asshole taste like brown rice to compliment the fish :lol

...um...hate to break it to you - but it has nothing to do with your use of "big" words and absolutely nothing to do with your punctuation. It has more to do with the fact that you are the exact definition of "pretentious."

pretentious |priˈten ch əs|adjective attempting to impress by affecting greater importance, talent, culture, etc., than is actually possessed : a pretentious literary device.

No one here was remotely close to having any kind of fit - yet they thought it appropriate to call you out on it here. If who you are as a person is in any way near what your 20,000 plus posts have revealed - then - most here pretty much know who and what you are.

Again, why would I care even half an iota about that?

One could argue that an intelligent and self-aware person would always be open to improvement and honesty in their self-assessment - unless said person refused to see what everyone else sees and/or said person was proud of being pretentious.

CuckingFunt is accused of being pretentious by a bunch of pixels.

Speaking of yourself in the third person doesn't negate the truth in any way.

I, however, do not "come off as pretentious to a bunch of people."

LOL - "am not" "are too" "am not"

Thanks for this last sentence as anyone can see that you couldn't go one post without injecting some pretentiousness - in this case - a nice attempt to disparage someone's intelligence and/or reading comprehension by insinuating your statement of denial was in some way above someone's head and therefore - beneath you.

lol indeed

It does, actually, have a lot to do with my use of big words and proper grammar. In a written forum, that's all it could possibly be based upon. Well, big words or a snotty tone, but the accusations of pretentiousness seldom follow the posts in which I'm outright snotty or bitchy, so I'm left to assume my tone has very little to do with it.

In order for you to know that the importance, talent, culture, etc., I supposedly affect is greater than I actually possess, you would have to actually know me. You don't. No one here does. At most all you or anyone else here can do is accuse me of affecting a greater importance/talent/culture than what you assume I possess. Which, again, I'm finding it hard to see the reason I should give a fuck, let alone be concerned about how I'm coming off to people.

The person who accused me of pretentiousness in this thread was mavs>spurs who, along with all of his other aliases, has indeed been in a state of perpetual hissy fit regarding me and my posts for the majority of my seven years here.

And of course I am not as a person who I am in my posts here. While I agree with and stand by everything I've posted here over the years, whomever CuckingFunt is represents, at the VERY most, about 10-15% of who I am as a whole, real life, actual person. I hope, for your sake, that's true for you, too. And for everyone else. It would be flat out sad to learn there wasn't more to you than what you present here.


One could argue that an intelligent and self-aware person would always be open to improvement and honesty in their self-assessment - unless said person refused to see what everyone else sees and/or said person was proud of being pretentious.
Just as one could hope that a reasonable and rational person would always be aware of the fact that online message boards aren't the real world. My honest self-assessment, my continual quest for improvement, my understanding of who I am and how I relate to others, etc., has roughly zero to do with how my online persona is viewed by other online personae on ONE online message board.


Speaking of yourself in the third person doesn't negate the truth in any way.
I am not speaking of myself. CuckingFunt =/= myself.


LOL - "am not" "are too" "am not"
You missed the point. Quite spectacularly.

I wasn't attempting to disparage your intelligence or your reading comprehension. Nor was I defending a statement of denial. Rather, I was commenting on the fact that your posting history has repeatedly shown how seriously you take this place, and your standing within it, making it understandable that you would fail to see the separation between me, as a person, and CuckingFunt, as an online persona, or the fact that I am not (and should not be) hurt by baseless insults thrown at the latter.

[bluebellmaniac]

Gotta go with CF on this one. I don't see anything pretentious in what she wrote or has written. $0.02.

That is all.

[Creepn]

It's all good CF. BTW, I didn't know you can start sentences with "And".

Useful thread. Went to Pappaduex the other day with the intentions of trying something new but didn't know what to order and ended up ordering catfish.

[mavs>spurs]

LOL seriously all this

flounder

Who would want to eat little 'ol Flounder?

[baseline bum]

I love pretty much any fish, but salmon and halibut have to be my top 2. New Zealand blue cod is amazing too. Fresh flounder down in Port Aransas is also the shit.

[baseline bum]

I'll take unagi over all that high priced tuna in a second when getting sushi. Great stuff.

High priced is probably just a status symbol, like that foul tasting caviar.

Uranium is green. Maybe a fish caught in Japanese waters?

You're retarded aren't you?

I decided that you took your punishment for being a bitch like....well....a man....and now I will take you off ignore.

It just struck me funny that once I did, you were right back at it, being a hypocritical coward.

Lol.

[tlongII]

Halibut and swordfish are my favorites.

[Sportcamper]

Sea food…Fresh ocean fish with scales are your best choice…Alaskan Halibut is tasty but only harvested in the summer months…Swordfish is the filet mignon of the ocean & is rarely offered in restaurants or grocery stores anymore…

In Cali a Yellowtail or Dorado caught & bar be qued that day is as good as it gets…

[TDMVPDPOY]

Halibut and swordfish are my favorites.


u talkin about them giant swordfish or the baby ones?

sashimi prepared is the best

[The Reckoning]

whiting is great. barramundi is decent as well but kind of bony.

[jjktkk]

Gotta go with the Halibut.

[silverblk mystix]

I woulda guessed fish schtiixxx

I see you don't know what a joke is.

See, that's the thing, that post, along with all your other attempts at humor are just fucking terrible. The only time you're funny on this site is when you're trying to be serious....or defending your blatant racism as something else.

Tell you what, next time you think you're going all Chris Rock and posting in all blue, hit "preview post" and then really sit back and ask yourself if it's a joke you want credit for.

[johnsmith]

comparably enlightened, relatively speaking?

That's adorable....go Victoria!

[CosmicCowboy]

Back to the OP...

Different fish are better cooked different ways...

For grilled, I personally think sworffish is the best, but I quit eating it several years ago as they are almost endangered now...tuna is also great grilled as it is a firm textured fish. Shark is good grilled too.

If you have never had pepper crusted tuna steak just flash seared on a flatiron to rare/medium rare it is freaking heavenly.

Mahi-mahi (the one they have posted pictures of) is a little more delicate and better sauteed or blackened or served with a simple sauce.

CF's suggestion of halibut is excellent as well if you want a really delicate white fish...in Texas flounder cooks just like halibut it's just a smaller fish and the cuts are typically not as thick...both are great poached, stuffed, or sauced with a light sauce...

I have recently been dry rubbing and then smoking salmon on my big pit in the warmer at about 150F and results have been freaking spectacular...I'll leave it on there 4 or 5 hours skin down until it flakes off the skin easily...

Tilapia is a relatively cheaper alternative commonly available but really need something like a sauce or heavier seasonings...the fish has essentially no taste of it's own...

[silverblk mystix]

Forgot about Orange Roughy...pretty tasty.

[CosmicCowboy]

Orange Roughy (slimehead sea perch) have pretty well been wiped out. A lot of other cold water fish (haddock, etc.) were served in restaurants as "Orange Roughy".

:lmao the only time Food Stamps Cobra isn't funny is when he's actually trying to be

[CosmicCowboy]

Grilled redfish on the half shell is damned good too. I'll cut the fillets off leaving the skin on...then grill skin side down on medium heat covered in thick and chunky salsa...the salsa juice infuses the fish, hits the skin and steams back up throught the fish..just grill/steam till the fillet flakes...when it's done I'll just take a spatula and slide the fillet off the burnt skin and plate it.

[CosmicCowboy]

blah blah blah
show us your omgz3rs again pls

Damn. How did I miss this?

[mrsmaalox]

My fish repertoire is very limited, I only eat salmon----cooked till it's dry and without any kind of sauce. I'm not much into sauces.

[DarrinS]

Good: Red snapper, swordfish, halibut, cod, trout, sea bass, flounder, Mahi mahi

Bad: Monkfish (yuck!!!)
