Took me all morning to make this in time for lunch π
π This picture reminds me of when Zekey said he had been slaving over a hot stove all day and posted that pic that was obviously KFC and you could even see some of the bucket on the stove πππππ

I was the same way.. always semi commercial fisherman in my family.. always had fish fries a few times a year or My mom would get it. I mean unless that's all you eat and it's a favorite. As a kid, if you grow up on red meat or chicken.. fish is nasty.
But as I got older, and I started eating white or wild rice with steamed (poached) white fish.. it wasn't fishy at all. Tailapia is a good example.
Catfish is nasty. and people do eat it. it smells to high hell. My mom would make it.
but Fish and Chips (cod) is always a favorite. and Salmon is something that literally would make me want to vomit but I have been doing my best to eat it for health reasons.
I love things like fried baby calamari or steamed or fried squid is also pretty good.
But the best thing is fried abalone. it looks like a giant clam but it's not in the same family. so it's not considered a shell fish. it's a sea snail. very expensive because you can only catch the large ones and three per person and only a few months out of the year. California Coast has some of the best Abalone there is. You can't scubadive for them.. you have to free-dive 15 feet or more to get to them. it's very stressful to do. and people die trying to cut them off of rocks they stick to like barnacles. they might even be related to them. if you put your hand in their shell while they're open, they slam shut and almost always killing the diver. this is why it's expensive to purchase after harvesting.

Y'all say you dont like fish but my dad and I used to go to thw Florida keys just to fish for grouper and yellowtail snapper. If it's not FRESH (meaning never fucking frozen- some waiters and cooks need to learn the meaning of thw word 'fresh') then it loses all the flavor. If going to a restaurant, I won't order fish unless they are on the water where they can buy off the boats or I know for a fact and they're within 20miles of the coast or Gulf where they can reasonably get fresh from the boats.
Flounder, and mahi-mahi are the same too. Freezing a lot of fish ruins the flavor and makes them taste like shit.
We would catch catfish too and that is good as long as you know how to fry it up good. I liked the catfish we'd catch over buying anything bought in a store. Rainbow trout are good as well, but sea trout tastes like shit imo.
My dad never liked mullet, nor did I, since we'd only ever had it 'smoked', but I ended up buying a bunch of freshly caught mullet from a guy that were already cleaned and fried them up like I would catfish and any other fried fish Id cook and it was pretty good.
I'd say my favor fish is flounder and a close second, right up there is yellowtail snapper though.
Oh, a lot of people think gar is a trash fish (there is the native Florida far and also the imported species which is considered a nuisance fish) but you can take a gar and throw it on a grill whole and its done when its back splits open. Along its spine there is a long bit of meat (the rest of the fish is nothing but bones) and it tastes a lot like lobster. Dipped in butter its good as fuck. Tastely as long as its cooked and prepared right.
Another one is mud carp. They taste like shit unless you put them in a bathtub for 3 days and change the water daily to clean their 'mud vein' out (they're hardy fish and will stay alive through this where other fish would die- they need very little oxygen to survive). If theyre fried up good and have been prepared as described beforehand, they taste pretty good too.

I forgot about 'steakfish'! Thats good as fuck too. Shark. When we would go to the keys we would go out at night shark fishing too. Fucking yes, that is good as fuck. I would say probably my 3rd favorite fish to eat. It also can feed a lot too. We'd always have extea for our friends and shit.
