The best way to cook tilapia is ________
I picked up some fresh tilapia at Fresh Market today. Help...what's your favorite way to cook this fish?
bamboo steamer time for whole fish ASAP :-)
Hubby just brought home whole fish (head yes, guts no) about the size of a trout for me to cook in my new bamboo steamer. It came without a sheet of cooking times and I can't find anything online. I don't want to keep opening the lid to check the fish and letting all the steam out; can someone give me a minimum estimate?
Swordfish Ideas
So I ended up with some swordfish. Long story. I've never liked it because it's so dry. Now it's time to try again. What do Serious Eaters suggest for someone who doesn't have a grill?
Thanks!

What to pair with prosciutto-wrapped seabass?
What do you think I should pair with prosciutto-wrapped seabass?
I roasted asparagus for this dish (at the same time as the fish re timing) and the spears came out mushy bc of the oven moisture (I think). What are some complementary veg and starch options I can prepare on the stove instead?
Also, is "chilean sea bass" the overfished fish that we're not supposed to buy? Can't remember!
Grouper, Crab, Tuna that are NOT. Have you been ripped off?
Just read this on Comcast News. Curious what you all think - what would you do if this happened to you?

How to eat more fish?
I'd really like to eat more fish. I feel like this might be difficult because: I cook for one, don't have a big budget, and can't stand canned fish like tuna. I live in the midwest, so most fish is shipped in from other places. Any tips on how to integrate fish into my life? What to buy and how to prepare it?
Fresh Fish vs Frozen Fish....isn't it all really frozen?
I prefer to buy my fish from a major supermarket such as A&P, Kings, Whole Foods etc....or from a local fish seller.
My girlfriend just wants to buy the stuff that is frozen in Trader Joes.
I know that almost all fish is immediately frozen on the fishing boats. I live in northern NJ and there aren't any boats nearby selling unfrozen fish.
When it comes to health and flavor...which do you prefer and why? Both issues are equally important.
Baccala recipes, help
I went into my local fish market today thinking I would buy swordfish or tuna, and I walked out with soaked baccala. I had never bought it or prepared it before, and only bought it because they had it as a special, and the owner recommended it to me. I found some recipes online and ended up boiling the baccala for a couple of minutes, until it flaked. Then I mixed it in a salad of black olives, black pepper, red pepper, cucumber, garlic, onion, lemon, and olive oil. I let it sit for 45 minutes in the fridge and then served. It was ok but honestly, I wasn't a huge fan of the texture. I've eaten baccala in Spanish and Italian restaurants, and really enjoyed it. Any idea where I went wrong? Any recommended recipes? Thanks.
Grouper Cheeks...what shall I make?
For the Chinese, the cheeks of a fish is the best part. We used to fight over who would get the little morsels of cheek meat. Since I have fierce chopsticks kung-fu skills, I usually won.
But I've never had grouper cheeks, which are about 2 1/2 inches wide! I saw these at the market and had to buy a pound. Just think! All these grouper fish in the ocean swimming aimlessly with no cheeks now!
Would love to hear what you would make with grouper cheeks...
Any thoughts on Lure Fishbar?
I'm having a dinner gathering there tomorrow night for my birthday. Was wondering if anyone has recommendations as to what to try, etc?
