How Many Of You Dont Eat Fish?

[DelcoSol]

No fish or seafood for me. I also get a lot of flack for it. It all taste like fish to me 

[plumworm]

I don't even like to be in a room where it's being cooked.

[BuckMaxx]

I like fish I just don't like killing and cleaning em. So I buy them.

Me too.  I love eating fish but very rarely keep my catch.

[zoniezz]

[tomustang]

I don't like farm raised fish, the trout and catfish stocking taste like dog food like thee feed.

The better tasting fish come from the river.

I'm not talking about the fish we catch, i'm talking about fish in general.

My friend was busting my chops the other day saying i'm the only fisherman in the world that don't eat fish. Being new to fishing, I've spent a substantial amount of money trying to get a decent tackle box together and getting decent gear. Went from 0 rods to 5 rods in 4 months.... had the bug. It definitely doesn't make sense to people that don't fish getting that much gear and not bring fish home.

I'd have to say i'm the minority, but i'm curious.

Thank god my girlfriend doesn't eat fish either, i'd never hear the end of it. haha

Have had, but don't like to eat fish. Sushi, however....

[Khong]

I love Bass too much to eat them.  If I wanted a fish to eat fish that I can catch then it'll be Crappies, Perch, and Walleye.

[Bluebasser86]

The only fish I like is mainly saltwater fish, seared ahi steaks, halibut, grouper, all good. I don't really eat of the fish I catch anymore. I'll eat about any other kind of seafood, just not a big fan of fish.

[Bankbeater]

The only freshwater fish I don't care for is bass.  My favorites are crappie, bluegill, cat, and walleye.

[Nice_Bass]

I eat fish several times a week- sometimes fresh caught...sometimes from the freezer of fresh caught.

So we all know that the senses of smell and taste are tied together and we all know the fishy smell you get on your hands when you are catching fish.  When fish are cooked, and they have that fishy taste/smell, I can eat them but that taste does take quite a bit away from the experience.   I don't hate it but I don't love it either.  However, when freshwater fish is cooked and handled correctly that smell/taste is eliminated and I love those fish.  I soak my freshwater fish in milk for at least an hour before cooking and that fishy taste is removed.  I don't fish for them that often but when I do, I'll eat freshwater crappie, walleye, bluegill, white bass, stripers, and catfish.  I also eat saltwater fish and most types of seafood, though raw sushi and seared fish are not among my favorites.  And I only like calamari from certain restaurants that do it right (usually expensive restaurants). 

[J Francho]

I love certain fish.  Sushi is a favorite of mine.  I eat some type of fish two or three times a week.  It is very good for you.  For non fish eaters, I recommend tilapia, haddock, or cod.  All are light and lack a fishy flavor.  Once you've grown accustom to the texture and flavor, you can branch out, and try salmon, tuna, swordfish, grouper, and redfish. As far as eating what I catch, that is limited to spring and fall walleye, perch, northern pike, and panfish.  I prefer fish that come from deep, cool water.  Spring time bullhead are another favorite.  Bullhead cookouts are a tradition up here.

[clayton86]

I'm not a huge fan of fish I used to hate it but I've learned to eat just about anything thanks to MRE's and military eggs....lol I will keep a walleye if I catch one in season I started ice fishing also for perch and blue gills but my boys eat them before I can get a bite.

[FrogFreak]

I love salmon, trout and walleye. I suppose Id eat any fish that was done well. I agree that fresh fish are the best by far. I don't eat fish from a restaurant to often but a freshly caught and grilled salmon is to die for!

[bigbear74]

I eat fish but I don't eat bass. I would eat a lot more fish but the wife does not like it.There is only two type of fish she will eat. She will once in a great while eat cod or walleye but that is it. I would eat fish a couple of times a week if I could.

[CayMar]

I've never eaten a fish that I didn't like. Halibut is my favorite. I've eaten LM bass once. I was hesitant but it was surprisingly good. I still C & R though. Hybrid bass are also very good.

I don't eat the fish I catch, too much run off and pollution here.  I love to eat fish and try to often. But I as a personal thing wont eat farm raised fish/shrimp. Especially salmon since farming it has destroyed so much free range fish with its pollution and the sea lice epidemic.  Sushi and sashimi are my favorite.  Fresh caught catfish holds special memories too.

Lunch today....

 

[BrianSnat]

I don't care for the taste of most freshwater fish, so generally won't eat it.  Farm raised catfish, that's about it.  I enjoy many kinds of saltwater fish though.

[wngan9447]

Lunch today....

Very nice... Looks expensive.

[J Francho]

$13.95 and comes with miso soup and ginger salad.

[cdaggett]

Oh god I could not eat that ^^

For years, I thought the same.  It simply grossed me out.  But, I eventually tried it, and turns out I love it. It's very good for you, too.

 

For what it's worth, the California roll in the back, the eel in the lower left, the shrimp, and the octopus are smoked, steamed or "cooked" in some way.  I think the octopus is "cooked" in a marinade.  Not sure about it though.   If you're going to try it for the first time, I recommend a veggie roll, or tempura, which is battered and deep fried.  When you're ready to graduate, the smoked eel is excellent.  For raw fish, I recommend starting out with a spicy tuna roll.  Tuna is very bland and has a unoffensive texture. Squid on the other hand....uh, no thanks!
