Whats the best fish to eat?


Recommended Posts

Tilapia is a restaurant favorite and it's OK if cooked right. As far as eating out the options are limited, tilapia, catfish, snapper, or salmon. That's about it unless you go for a higher end fish. It also depends on how you like it cooked

Best fish to eat is by far crappie (white perch). Nothing comes close!

So what is the best way to cook tilapia?

An oldie but goodie......

Coat both sides well with butter and then add salt, pepper, paprika, finely chopped parsley and garlic powder to taste. Cover with thinly sliced red onions. Place it on a cedar plank and bake next an open fire for 20 minutes.

Then throw away the fish and eat the board.

Good one. :) Not everyone has a variety of fish in the freezer like some of us do and they have to depend on store bought fish. Tilapia will work if cooked right. The cedar plank is not a bad choice.

You can also pan sear with blackened seasoning or use butter, garlic, and seasoning like Tony’s. I’m sure fried would be OK too.

When I was a kid, my Dad worked at a power plant.  The lake used to cool the plant was stocked with tilapia to control vegetation.  In the winter, they crowded up near the discharge to stay warm.  You could literally used a landing net and catch a barrell full of them in minutes.  Back then, nobody would hardly eat them.

salt water it's flounder, mahi mahi, amberjack, grouper, snapper, and tripletail.  speckled trout is good, but not as good as the other ones mentioned.

Add ling and you have corned the fish market on these options.  Tripletail is the best.
