My all-time favorite has to be Grouper:)

My least favorite would have to be Spanish Mackrel:(

My favorite fishing trip ever was surf-fishing in Gulf Shores, Alabama and catching what I was told was White Fish, they were delicious!

~~~><)))°> ~~~~ One fish two fish

~~~><)))°> ~~~~ Red fish Blue fish

My favorite Sandwich fish would have to be Grilled Swordfish w/fresh dill Yummy Fish!!!~~~><)))°> ~~~~
 
I love ALL fish. I even love anchovies. I eat fish 4 or 5 times a week. Salmon is a definite favorite. Last night I made crispy salmon in agro dulce. I also love swordfish, tuna, marlin, shark, snapper, arctic char, halibut, American sturgeon, catfish, trout and all shellfish. mmm give me a big plate of grilled octopus tentacles with tzatziki! squid, shrimp, scallops, mussels, oysters, crab, lobster, crayfish. I AM the Ocean eater.
 
For financial reasons the closest I've come these months to eating fish is taking a 'fish oil' capsule every day. :o

CanMan I am going to make a suggestion, you live in LA right? Well I used to live near there myself, and I liked to go over to San Pedro and play in the tidal waves. I am wondering why could you not go there (or some equal body of water/beach) and do some surf fishing and catch your own seafood!!! I just believe you could catch something edible from the Pacific, are you much of a fisherman? If not could you go over to where the charter fishing boats load and unload, well if you go hand around there about the time of day they unload you may be able to pick up on some cheap fresh fish! My Dad was always striving to feed us 5 hungry kids on his salary alone and he would do that and he'd get us some great bargains on Grouper. Just food for thought, hope you don't mind.

By the way our old SP buddy Brook has a really cool web-site that you may be able to pick up some fishing tips at here's the link: Outdoor Sports Advisor. Unique outdoor recreation articles and reviews. I really like the site as I enjoy reading about hunting and fishing in the Louisiana Delta lands and he has some of that in there also. Just in case you would like to give it a shot and check it out.

Thanks, but San Pedro is not really that close and any savings would be used up driving there, parking (not free), fishing (license not free), buying fishing stuff (not free), and then paying the hospital for treating me for food poisoning from eating contaminated fish from the LA harbors. :D

For now I think I will stick to swallowing the bitter pill.

O-o-o-ppps yeah you have got a point there. I was in Long Beach and it was a bit closer to San Pedro and some nice beaches. And yeah the pollution would be an issue. LA/Long Beach is just insane all that water and you can't get some fresh cheap seafood:mad: When I lived there it was free to park at San Pedro darn shame they even gotta charge you to park!!! Do you like San Pedro? I also liked Catalina Island, have you ever been?

I haven't lived in San Pedro since I was a child, before the bridge and we used the ferry to get to the Naval Base. Times have changed and I'm 50+ years older. Parking meters now accept credit cards for 15 or 30 minutes; they plan on rerouting all the storm drains so it goes to a processing plant instead of out to the ocean but they don't know how to deal with all the dissolved drugs (filtering doesn't remove); toilet water will soon be recycled to drinking water (already done in Orange County); much of our Colorado River drinking water was stopped because of a tiny fish that exists no where else...and the list goes on. Mother Nature just laughs at us.

The more I think about it, I'm no longer using water to take my Fish Oil capsule. Oh yah, they've proven that our fancy bottled waters are more contaminated than our tap water.

Tonight's supper was 3 (huge!) razor clams dipt in egg and tossed around in cracker crumbs then pan-fried! Every time I eat them I wonder why I don't eat them more! SO yummy! I drizzled with a bit of garlic butter and had a big caesar salad along with...

CanMan when I read this my heart goes out to you, it also makes me sad, Calif. is such a beautiful state all in all and I yet despised it, the people ruin it!!!! I was there when the Rodney King verdict came down and it was literally hell on earth, I just feel for you that you're stuck in that environment.

I ususally by my fish frozen these days for the same reason. I can usually find some good deals on frozen seafood. It's better than none at all.
 
Frozen fish ain't bad at all.

For years up north I enjoyed fresh catch during the summer- salmon, trout, arctic char, hali, cod, clams... then froze excess for use all winter long. YUM!
 
Fish

I Love Orange Roughy with Fresh lemon and dill. I also like salmon with teriyaki sauce. We just had Tilapia last night for dinner. It was Good. Cookie :)
 
Lobster Tails ~ My ultra favorite, then Red Snapper, Halibut with herb butter sauce, crab legs, shrimp (coconut, scampi, cocktail, and barbecued), cod, blue fish (ever go blue fishing ~ what an experience), orange roughy, and Stuffed Clams. Can't stand salmon, tried many times and just don't like it.

I grew up in NJ, and our seafood was fresh and priced very reasonable, I grew up crabbing down by Sea Side Park and Neptune NJ. We had fresh seafood weekly in our home, our whole family loved it. Sadly, here in AZ everything is frozen or put on ice and flown in ~ I miss the fresh seafood, anytime I am in California (San Diego) I go to Pacifica Del Mar ~ awesome fresh seafood, the restaurant is on the pier. Their Red Snapper is to die for~ that good!!!!!!

I Love Shrimp to.. and cold Crab salad at china buffets.:p I always buy frozen. I know you get into places like Florida and California and you get Fresh!! They really do have the Best!! Any where there is an Ocean and you get the best!! I Love tuna steaks or even just tuna in places near water and it even taste better. Maybe it's just the atmosphere. Warm weather sun, water, sand and some white wine... Yummy!!!! Cookie :)
 
Yeah Cookie and Cathy- roughy's delicious! And Dianne- how could I have forgotten lobster?
