I would like to know what is the mildest tasting fish available for cooking. I just hate a fishy tast ....

Orange Roughy is excellent, I would recomend it :)

I've heard it's good cajun-style...covered with blackening seasoning. I'm not a fish person myself, but sounds like I should try the orange roughy.

I make taliapa all the time!!!

I make a little holder out of foil. Put the fish in it with some butter. Sprinkle it with cajun seasoning and throw some diced garlic in it. It is good everytime! Sometimes I put alfredo sauce over the top of it and it is yummy!

I put tilapia on the forman grill with a little pam and some garlic powder and it is wonderful. Chilean sea bass is great too but can be pricey.

Fran

I do this to my tilapia too, and any other type of fish. I season it with Blackoned seasonings and grill it on my forman grill!

Another recipe I make for my family and they love it this way:

Slice lemons and place at the bottom of the pan

Lay fish on top of the lemons (season the fish, salt, pepper etc, - anything you like to use)

Pour heavy whipping cream, just enough to moisten the fish(this has no carbs)

sprinkle with parmesean cheese (I use about 1 cup)

and bake uncovered until fish is done (about 20 min)

Very delicious and easy!

My recipe is as follows: For 4 oz fillet, I mix 2 Tablespoons of Parmesan cheese with a little garlic powder and 1 to 2 teaspoons of dried parsley. Heat the skillet and add some olive oil mixed with 1 teaspoon of lemon juice to the pan. Add the fillet and cook for about 2-3 minutes each side. Then put half of the cheese mixture over the fillet, then flip the cheese covered side over and cook for about 1 minute. Put the remaining cheese mixture on the other side of the fillet and cook an additional minute. The cheese mixture forms a crust and the fish remains moist inside. I really enjoy this and the cheese adds flavor, texture, Protein and very little fat.

I hear tilapia and orange roughy are the best (rather least offenders)....I also HATE fishy taste and for that reason have never been a fish eater until I first tried tilapia. Not bad AT ALL.

another one to try is Talipia or flounder marinated in cesar dressing and then a quick fry in the pan. just remeber not to over cook it or it can become dry. I found stuffed talipia at Walmart in the frozen fish section. At my Walmart one stuffed filet costs 1dollar that right a buck and its enough to fill you up. they come in redpepper and scallop, spinach and cheese and shrimp and stuffing. You can nuke them but I chose to make a foil basket and grill it. gotta give this one a try.

Tilapia is a great fish to cook en papillote -- it's a very delicious, healthy, and easy way to cook almost any fish:

You need a sheet of parchment paper. Dab a few drops of olive oil on the sheet, then place the filet of tilapia on it. Season with salt and pepper and throw on some of your favorite vegetables -- carrots, broccoli, asparagus, just make sure you cut the vegetables into pieces that are similar in size. Throw on a few splashes of lime juice or orange juice or white wine and some fresh herbs if you want. Bring up the edges of the parchment paper and wrap it up so that everything is sealed inside (you could also staple the sheet together. If you google "en papillote" you should be able to find some images of how to do this). Place on a baking sheet and cook in the oven at 425 degrees Fahrenheit for about 10 to 12 minutes. Be careful when you open the packet as all the steam will come out. Everything will be moist and delicious and extremely flavorful.

You can use almost any fish for this and you can experiment with vegetables and liquids to create different flavors and dishes. It's one of my favorite ways to cook.

ummmm, Tilapia...

I AM A FISHY SMELLING FISH HATER TOO

Tiapia is one of the ONLY fish that I like as it is mild and sweet!

I put a little OLIVE oil in a pan, crush a clove of garlic and saute my fish for just a couple of minutes on each side.

I prepare all my veggies or sides ahead of time.. and cook the fish last as it takes so little time!!!

OMG I've made myself hungry

      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!

        I'm so happy for you! You are about to change your life. I was so glad to get the sleeve done in Dec. I didn't have feelings of regret overall. And I'm down almost 60 lbs. I do feel a little sad at restaurants. I can barely eat half a kid's meal. I get adults meals often because kid ones don't have the same offerings at times. Then I feel obligated to eat on that until it's gone and that can be days. So the restaurant thing isn't great for me. All the rest is fine by me! I love feeling full with very little. I do wish I could drink when eating. And will sip at the end. Just a strong habit to stop. But I'm working on it! You will do fine! Just keep focused on your desire to be different. Not better or worse. But different. I am happy both ways but my low back doesn't like me that heavy. So I listened (also my feet!). LOL! Update us on your journey! I'm not far from you. I'm in Houston. Good luck and I hope it all goes smoothly! Would love to see pics of the town you go to for this. I've never been there. Neat you will be traveling for this! Enjoy the journey. Take it one day at a time. Sometimes a few hours at a time. Follow all recommendations as best you can. 💗

        Thank you so much for your well wishes. I am hoping that everything goes easy for me as well. We don't eat out much as it is, so it wont be too bad in that department. Thankfully. Also, I hear you regarding your back and feet!! I'd like to add knees to the list. Killing me as we speak! I'm only 5' so the weight has to go. Too short to carry all this weight. Menopause really did a doosey on me. (😶lol) My daughter also lives in Houston. with her Husband and my 5 grand-littles. I grew up in Beaumont, so I know Houston well, I will be sure to keep in touch and update you on my journey. I may need some advice in the future, or just motivation. Thank You so much for reaching out, I was hoping to connect with someone in the community. I really appreciate it. 💜

      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.
