salmon
tilapia (quite like this fish)

Eating seafood out here is quite

Salmon is so easy to prepare

    We eat wild salmon (fresh frozen) and I also keep canned salmon on hand for pattis, loaves, kedgeree, etc....

    I buy troll caught tuna for tuna salads or to add to pasta dishes.

    Occasionally I will buy wild shrimp. DH refuses to eat farmed these days.

    Tilapia if it is on sale.
    My all time favorite is Black Cod, but you need a small loan for it!!!

    I love shrimp, lobster, scallops, crab, even calamari (squid)! Salmon is my favorite fish and that's good since it's so healthy. I also love tuna steak, but am worried about the mercury, so I don't eat too much of it. I also love tilapia, but it doesn't have all of the great health benefits...still, it is a source of protein.

    I've had a virus all weekend and hardly eaten. I guess I'm over it because this discussion is making me ravenous!!!!

    Black cod has the highest omega-3 content.
    It is a wild caught fish near Alaska. It is also $17-20/pound.
    I swear it tastes better than lobster!

    It took me a long time to learn to eat fish. I now eat ahi tuna, salmon, and even ate some fresh fish native to Hawaii when I was there. I'll eat calamari if it's fried. Being from CA, I eat fresh crab when it's in season, and I also like shrimp, lobster, and scallops.

    specially down at Fisherman's Wharf


    Wallycat: I priced it here
    $20.00 a pound
    too much for me

    but I did have a lovely piece
    of halibut last night
    $8.00

    We make this frequently at home because it is so quick and delicious. I dice tomato and avocado chunks to toss with the shrimp, serving it with brown rice or on a roll like a po' boy.
    1.5 lbs cleaned deveined shrimp
    1 tsp sugar
    1/4 tsp kosher salt
    1tbl chili powder
    1/2 tsp ground cumin
    1/2 tsp ground coriander
    1/2 tsp dried oregano
    1.5 tbl olive oil divided

    Place all spices and dry ingredients in a large bowl, mixing well. Toss over shrimp, coating them well with spice mixture. Place half the oil in fry pan on med-high heat. Place 1/2 the shrimp in skillet and saute until cooked. Remove from pan, keep warm. Add the remaining oil and cook remaining shrimp. It has a carmelized spicy coating when done. I usually place rice on a platter, shrimp on top with diced tomato/avocado on the sides.

    I LOVE shrimp! Tonight I'm sauteing shrimp with garlic and chick peas. Then I serve it warm over a bed a organic field greens, drizzle a little balsamic vinagrette and some EVOO...delicious.
