here is some of my hubs fave dishes for fish--is pretty simple.

shark is thick like steak......so def shark kabobs are delish....either bbq or a lime marinade works best (add many veggies for healthy meal) serve over yellow/saffron rice.

the easiest is to soak jaws in beer, grill like a steak...about 4 min on each side ought to do it...baked tater and some fresh Beans is a superb meal..

snapper, wrap in foil........add lemon, butter and some outstanding white wine, cook on grill.......garlic mash would go good with this..

king fish, def do a fish/chips preparation

hope this helps..

Not yet judy,but planning on having some of it this week. The king fish made some wonderful looking 2 inch steaks. I may cut them smaller since there is no way I could eat that much fish at one sitting..lol!

I'm going to smoke the shark filets with a nice applewood. That will probably this next weekend. It will be my first time having shark and I am looking forward to it.

If you catch kingfish again, try some ceviche, thin raw slices prepared with some herbs. Delicious

I've also been using fish chunks in risotto with Tomato and olives, or in fairly plain risotto with fresh peas.

i just love shark. i come from a fishing family and live right on the coast... so ive had plenty of shark to eat... its my favorite, or one of them. the main thing is with shark is that it needs to be frozen first otherwise its a bit strong with ammonia. Im assuming that the shark you catch there would be like the sharks we have here in our waters as far as the flesh is concerned. Did you freeze it?

you're welcome. its a great feeling to be able to catch your own fish and then prepare and eat it. Been there and always enjoyed it so much. As long as the shark is frozen always before eating you cant go wrong. im interested to hear how your smoking goes with it. We had a friend many years ago who used to smoke couta with the smoke from huon pine...it was just unbelievable.

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        I hope your surgery on Wednesday goes well. You will be able to do all sorts of new things as you find your new normal after surgery. I don't know this from experience yet, but I am seeing a lot of positive things from people who have had it done. Best of luck!

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.
