What type of fish do you eat most? / LJWorld.com

Asked at Massachusetts Street on May 20, 2008

“I guess salmon. I think it’s because it’s more readily available at restaurants and it’s pretty good for you.”

— Jocelyn Nichols, retail manager, Lawrence

“I typically don’t eat fish. I probably eat more whitefish than anything else because that’s what they put in fish sticks.”

— Stephen Mockry, Kansas University sophomore, Lawrence

“Tilapia. It tastes really good. I always get it when they serve it up on campus.”

— Mary Clippinger, Bucknell University sophomore, Baldwin City

“Trout. I assume that it’s more fresh because it can be caught locally and has less distance to travel. And I prefer its flavor to most other fish.”

— Mauricio Herrera, KU graduate student, Alajuela, Costa Rica

Salmon is the choice for me....except when it's in a can. Then the stuff scares me.

nom nom nom.tuna only please-oh yes and whatever mrs paul puts in her fishsticks is pretty yummy. forget the fisher boy, i heard he does unmentionable things to his sticks.

taliapia mostly, but when I can afford it, I like a perfectly cooked tuna steak...lovely pink in the middle without being raw. And if it's cooked 'til it's dead dry, forget it! Just chop the thing up for tuna salad.

OldEnuf: I loved to get the blackened snapper at Paradise. I sure miss that place.Oh, and I guess my favorite fish is salmon or tuna.

We had some spoonbill over the week-end that was awesome!

jonas 5 years, 1 month ago

Raw. Seriously, I'll try most types, but cooking it ruins for me.

OldEnuf2BYurDad 5 years, 1 month ago

This is why I miss Paradise Cafe. It was the only place in Kansas with any decent fish on the menu. All we can get now is tilapia, salmon, tuna, catfish, etc.

Brook trout and walleye. Smoked ciscoes. Time for a quick run up north, come to think of it.

I practice catch and release...I catch catfish and release them into hot boiling oil... :-)

I prefer canned Kipper Snacks. They're way high in omega-3's. Break them up on a bed of salad green's, or just eat with some cheese and crackers. If I go out, Halibut. Or whatever kind they use when I order fish tacos at Panzon's or Tortas Jaliscos. And then again, it's hard to beat fried catfish, or some red snapper in bouillabase or Court bouillon. I think I'll open a can of sardines for lunch.

Well, since most fish in the sea is now tainted with mercury....to some degree or another......I really don't eat that much fish any more!But I'd have to say that I like (or used to like) all kinds of fish.

Fresh catfish. Without question, there's nothing better than catching your own dinner.

Tuna salad.

i_have_only_valid_opinions 5 years, 1 month ago

Well, it's something that sometimes tastes and smells like fish, but is better when it doesn't most of the time. I guess it depends on how well you clean them! Typically they are a pinkish meat variety. There are lots of different names for it. Sometimes called snapper, and sometimes fish tacos. Yummy. Don't let me in on the secret if you have some, because I'll eat yours too.

sgtwolverine 5 years, 1 month ago

Cooked.Seriously, I'll eat lots of different types of fish, but my favorite is salmon.

Alderwood smoked salmon Mmmm Mmm!

beccadog 5 years ago

Wild salmon is the only animal source I eat. Otherwise, I try to eat vegetarian because the Bush Administration has eliminated most controls and has allowed the food to become more contaminated. I'm very particular which foods I consume.

How careless of me to miss this one. Sorry.My favorite? Panfish. The little sweethearts are dropped into an ice chest immediately upon being unhooked. They are taken home, placed on a tail-clamp fillet board and scaled, then each side is carefully filleted resulting in two boneless pieces of meat that are placed immediately in ice water. Once all the fish are cleaned these fillets are quick-rinsed, placed in a zip-loc bag and concentrated lemon juice is poured in. The air is squeezed out of the bag, the bag zipped closed then placed in the freezer compartment. (Unless fried immediately.)To cook, place the thawed, drained fillets in a zip-loc bag containing Louisiana New Orleans style fish fry (the kind with lemon added). Shake the bag to coat fillets. Fry in vegetable, peanut, canola or olive oil.The greatest destroyer of fish flavor is heat -- heat absorbed in the field. Too many fishermen will let their catch lie in the sun or otherwise get warm; the fish's flesh has spoiled by the time it arrives home and thus will never taste good. Properly protecting panfish (bluegill, crappie, red ears, green sunfish, etc.) takes planning, and cleaning small-bodied panfish involves more work than with larger fish. But the result is a platter of fish stick-sized fillets that have no bones and outstanding flavor.They are worth the trouble.
