How often do you eat seafood?

[Russell_Faulkner]

We get a lot of local fish, well Omani mostly, Hammour is perhaps the best but almost endangered, I believe it’s a kind of grouper. We eat a lot of local prawns. I’ve never seen Cobia in the stores of the fish market. Maybe it has other names… Thanks for the tips.

Is it easy to get good Salmon? Impossible here and the poor quality farmed stuff is a waste of time and certainly not ‘healthy’.

Wild salmon is an expensive treat in the UK.

Russell, just skimming a couple of sportfishing sites reveals some outstanding tasting local fish. Cobia as an example one of the best eating fish swimming, wahoo, a great eating fish. Dorado (dolphin fish, mahi mahi) Tuna’s lots of good options it appears. Although most are warm water fishes they are tasty. Very similar to what we get locally here in the GOM.

What sportfishing sites do you use?

I recently started having canned tuna and I’m in love with it. Perhaps I missed out on it during my childhood, but the way it mixes with mayonnaise, a dash of mustard, and relish is just awesome. Otherwise, I stick with wild salmon.

And to answer Mark, I eat seafood about once a week, if that. I love it, don’t get me wrong, but I’d rather have a restaurant extensively prepare it for me.

I prepare it the same way, but I also add onions and sometimes chopped celery. I eat fish about 3/times per week. I could eat it every day.

I chop up cornichons (available at trader joes) for a similar, relish effect.

I find most tinned tuna unsuitable for human consumption. The Spanish versions are a clear exception, and the jarred white versions a real delicacy.

TheHullTruth and Pensacola Fishing Forum. PFF has guys that fish out of Okinawa and some of the Gulf States that will post sometimes.

Since this thread I’ve been on a fish kick.

After the collar I pan roasted some red mullet (too many tiny bones!) and just had some sous vide salmon last night. I had forgotten how much I love that prep and its silken texture.

It helps that colder weather means I don’t worry so much about carrying fish back from Manhattan.

Twice a week maybe, shrimp mostly
