Thanks all for your advice!
The tilapia was an OK place to start - I didn't hate it, but I think I probably could have done more to "jazz it up" as well. It also seemed a touch "watery" to me but I'm not sure what that means. I think I'll try cod or flounder next and see where that takes me.
Fried fish sounds delicious but not in my dietary needs right now, so I'll have to steer clear for a while. Same goes for fish sticks. Also no shellfish - I keep kosher.
This may seem like a dumb question (as if the original wasn't) but if I pick up a fillet in the supermarket how do I know if it's fresh? Sorry - but for someone with a life long aversion to fish I'm definitely not up to buying it whole and cutting it up myself!

Thanks again for all your comments, it's really appreciated.

Thank you all so much for your comments! I knew this was the right place to go :)
I picked up a tilapia fillet in the supermarket today as it was available, cheap, and looked fairly non-threatening. I'm going to bake it simply with some breadcrumbs and spices and maybe some veggies. Fingers crossed!

My kitchen obviously!

I agree it's all about the time vs. money vs. quality. I think if I did this I'd be more inclined to go with a sugar cookie dough and add my own chocolate chunks and other things before baking.

I don't really like honey cake much myself, but I made Smitten Kitchen's last year (adapted from Marcy Goldman's) and actually really enjoyed it.

Sorry, that's @BakingMistaking.

Gotta be the classic: chocolate chip.

Of course it's Serious Eats!

My mom uses one all the time - makes a great chicken soup, and she cooks corn beef in it as well. I definitely have a healthy fear though - it exploded once with the chicken soup - our ceiling was yellow for a year before we repainted it. Thank god nobody was in the room at the time.

I guess there is something wrong with me.....

...but I've always know that.

Oh, and I forgot, along these lines, also in Tesco, I once picked up a cake, that had a sticker stuck to the bottom that read "do not turn cake upside down."

Oops!

Oh man that happens to me all the time. I hate mixing things up!
