Thread: Your Favorite Eating Fish or Other Sea Food

  1. #1

    Your Favorite Eating Fish or Other Sea Food

    My favorite sea foods are in this order: grouper, halibut, and fresh caught Sockeye salmon. Some one had told me that grouper is the best eating fish, but I could never get it until last summer's 16-day steamship trip from the top to the bottom of the Mississippi River aboard the largest steamship in the world, the American Queen. We ate like kings and ate every imaginable type of seafood. But only one night could we get grouper, and I enjoyed it more than any of many lavish entrée menu items. What is your favorites meal from the sea?

    By the way, I loved the journey. Almost every day, we stopped at a port city, where tour buses awaited us to show us sites, like the homes of Mark Twain, Ulysses S. Grant, President Herbert Hoover, and Elvis Pressley (Graceland). Among other things, we also toured pre-Civil War mansions and battlefields, haunted mansions, some of the oldest taverns in America (1600s), old cotton plantations with living quarters for the slaves, and a Louisiana swamp, where we fed gators and petted a baby gator that we passed around our little tour boat. One of the highlights for me was old Sun Studio in Memphis, where Elvis, Johnny Cash, and Jerry Lee Lewis, among other rock and rollers, got their start. There we saw the little cubicle in which a radio DJ was the first to introduce Elvis's first recorded hit "That's All Right, Momma," to the world. We also heard a private record which a very young Elvis made for $3.99 for his Mom's birthday. Both recordings sent shivers down my spine because Elvis was totally unknown at the time. We saw a photo of the secretary who nagged Sam Phillips into giving Elvis an audition. In the beginning, no one but her thought Elvis had any talent! btw, Mick Jagger had just come into Sun Studio with an elderly Jerry Lee Lewis, so that Jerry Lee could show Mick where he got his start. The nightly entertainment aboard the American Queen was world class.

    Being from the Great Lake State of Michigan, I really enjoy walleye, whitefish and bluegill. Saltwater fare: shrimp, king crab legs, lobster along with various fish of the sea.

    I'm not much of a seafood person, just fried fish and fried shrimp. Have to have tartar sauce with the fish and cocktail sauce with the shrimp.

    I like fried catfish (in cornmeal the way its SUPPOSED to be done, not flour). Fried flounder, grouper, white fish, etc. Those type of fish. Don't like salmon. I'm sure I would like most any type of lake fish too like bass or trout, etc.

    Trout is great, it's a bit less fatty than salmon is.

    I will not eat trout or salmon. When I was a little boy, dad was a great fisherman. He brought home trout and salmon caught from the river just down the street. We had plenty of it, no complaints, but I grew tired of it. Later in his life we went after bass and walleye, which are my warmest memories of him. Trout and salmon are strong tasting and oily if not prepared properly. I would imagine folks like it oily/fishy.

    Salmon always tastes fishy to me.

    Have you had bluefish? That's good stuff. Red Lobster served it years ago.

    #1 - Red Snapper

    #2 - Trout

    #3 - Flounder

    #4 - Salmon

    #5 - Tuna (but I've never tried it in a restaurant, because they "undercook" it, in my opinion - I'll eat it from the can, on occasion, however)

    And of course Shrimp, Crab, Scallops, and Lobster
