I live in Florida and have decent access to fresh fish. Problem is I have no clue how to cook it properly. I don't have a grill bc I live in an apartment. Suggestions?

I just bake it in the oven. Or, I make a tinfoil "tent" around it and bake it in there to keep it moist.

One of my favorites is taking orange roughy or tilapia filets. Put a couple quick sprays of "I can't believe it's not butter" on it, a little salt and pepper, then a couple slices of onion and Tomato on it. Make a tinfoil tent around it and bake it at 400 degrees for 8-10 minutes.

Open the tinfoil and throw away the tomato and onion slices- they were just to flavor it.

Enjoy!

It makes a really flavorful and moist fish dinner!

I eat fish about 4 times a week and I bake it and it is amazing! I spray the pan with pam put the fish on the pan spray it with i can't believe its not butter on it with your favorite seasonings. I like garlic powder, chili powder and some everglades :) Cook until it is flaky!

Fish fillets with cumin, chili powder, salt and lemon juice rubbed on real good. Grill with non stick spray and top with finely shredded cabbage diced tomatoes and avocado. I add a dollop of Greek yogurt and tobasco. You could put this in grilled corn tortillas to make tacos or not. It is my Mexican take on fish tacos. LOVE IT!

I eat fish almost every night. I bake mine, too. I loved breaded tilapia, but am staying away from breaded. So, I have found that ground flax seed makes a great breading, and then add a little Zaterans to the fish. Yummy! di the same to flounder lastnight, was great too!

I'm new to cooking fish myself, but I've been buying the frozen fish haddock fillets from costco. They have both breaded and unbreaded, but the breaded have twice the calories :( Taste good, though! I use our small toaster oven to cook my fillets. I make my own tartar sauce using low fat or low calorie ingredients. Funny thing: before the lapband I was challenged to cook a hotdog on the grill. I eat fish at least 8 times a week. It is nothing but healthy compared to red meats. Fish is very healthy and is a great Protein. One four ounce fillet is about 100 calories. Not knowing what I am doing, I use a meat thermometer to ensure the fish is at least 160 degrees before eating it.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
