But I need more protein in my diet, and I know there's a lot of other good stuff in fish, so I decided to make an attempt.

I made salmon in a butter & garlic sauce.

It still smelled fishy. One side still had the skin on it. But I powered thru the prep.

The cooking was easy.

It wasn't AWFUL. I still have a problem with the texture of fish. It had only a slight fishy taste (thanks to all that lovely garlic and butter). I finished my piece, but I probably will not make it again. My wife, however, who said she didnt want any, really enjoyed it.

Is there any kind of fish that I might like more? Haddock does not count.

Have you been much of a sushi guy? Can we go that route?

I would like to accompany you on this journey. I have some cod in the freezer that I shall defrost and consume tomorrow. Some basmati rice, some fish, some hot sauce or green chile, that will work for me.

But, I digress, because you are a nice guy and sending your mom a fish fry every week.

No. I would literally gag. Sushi. Never happening.

And how did it go?

Fresh, never frozen from Wegmans. Made it about 4 days after buying it, but before the "use by" date.

Would it have been "less fishy" if I made it immediately?

Not once? Not even the ...... Philadelphia Cheese Roll??

Poorly so far, I was unable to locate the cod.

Casual Observer wrote: Fri Feb 16, 2024 3:34 pm Any fish or shellfis from Wegmans should be at least cooked the same night. Even the stuff we get right off the boats here starts to turn fishy after a day or two.

I'm one that loves salmon but hates fishyness, just cook it quick and add lots of flavor like either dill or a nice sweet glaze.
