I've been thinking about eating more fish, the problem is idk what fish is good to eat and what to buy. I was thinking of buying other things that I won't normally get like cod or salmon.
Do you guys eat a lot of fish? what do you eat?

I am a seasoned Pescatarian (except I'm not a vegetarian and still eat meat) So trust me on these hot takes:

Salmon is great. The only way to ruin a good Salmon steak is to season it with lighter fluid and piss and run that shit through an easy bake oven. Grilled, BBQ'd, Pan seared, Smoked, Pickled, Eat that shit Raw if its farmed even. Shit bussin, Truly an S tier fish.

Tuna is also fucking good. No, I don't mean your dry overcooked tinned shit, even though I eat that too, I'm talking slap on the grill proper sea cow tasting tuna steaks. You just slap it on a grill, pan, bbq, whatever. Microwave it for all I care, Tuna steaks are truly an S tier Fish dish, especially when seasoned. Can also be eaten raw if its the posh stuff that says it can be eaten raw on the tin. If you based your whole opinion on how enjoyable Tuna is on the tinned catfood shit then you'd probably also ruin your yearly holiday to the South of England by choosing to stay at a pontins then base your whole opinion on the south of England on the Shit choice YOU made.

Kippers are good too, just boil in the bag, albeit strong, smokey, and has little bones that feel like you're eating thin fingernails, just dont look at it like that though!

Cod is the chicken of fish. You've eaten it, it will always taste exactly as you imagine it, Unlike rock fish, which you may not have had before, but it actually does just taste like chicken just with a bit of cod flavour in it.

Plaice is pretty white-fishy just like Cod and Rock. White fish all taste pretty similar.

Haddock, I don't really remember off the top of my head how it tastes ngl.

Trout is a very fork-fluffy fish too, which you'll know exactly what that means when you stick a fork in properly cooked fish. Tastes great, Albeit I don't recall eating trout except in the States, where I had rainbow trout on a few occasions. A very flavourful fish even though it was cooked with bacon.

Swordfish, in my opinion, is likely the nicest fish I've eaten, and as you can tell by this post I have clearly devoured 10% of ocean life to ever be born since 1998. Swordfish is sweet and when cooked properly has absolutely no drawbacks, except the possibility that the fisherman who caught it probably lost an eye or a lung.

Squid is good, but I wouldn't suggest anyone here buy it at a supermarket, because I know for a fact that 90% of people here are gonna fuck up cooking it and make battered rubber bands.

So I slagged off Tinned Tuna as not being the ideal tuna experience and giving people as much of a good idea of how good Tuna actually is as Visiting Magic City Arcade and Casino in Clacton-on-sea and saying you no longer need to visit Caesars Palace in Las Vegas because you tried a few slot machines and 2p machines already and don't get the fuss, But tinned fish in general? I'll elaborate:

- Tinned Tuna is bad and nothing more than Sandwich or Potato filler.
- Tinned Salmon is Pink Tinned tuna.
- Tinned Tuna steak is just bigger tinned tuna. Again, sandwich filler.
- Tinned fish like Pilchards and mackaral, well let me elaborate below:

Tinned whole fish bodies, like Pilchards, Mackeral, etc. Whilst not for rookie fish enjoyers, Fucking slap on Toast. They fucking reek though, Only eat it if you plan on not going out for the rest of the day lest you want to have breath that smells like Courtney Love's Queefs. Sardines are okay, Again more of a toast topper thing. These fish are so fucking good for you and your skin and brain though, I suggest if you can stomach it entwine it into your diet.

Caviar if you can afford it is pretty good, But tbh the "Fish roe" alternative that is significantly cheaper does the job nicely.

Anchovies are good but if you're eating anchovies on their own you're just eating salamis from the packet. Nothing wrong with that but they're better on top of something. Tinned anchovies are significantly stronger smelling and tasting than fresher / film wrapped ones.

I know I've eaten Pike but have no real recollection of it, which should speak wonders on what it tastes like.

Jellied Eels look exactly how they taste, god awful. I still have traumatic thoughts of that first mouthful of jelly and eel. Anyone who was around when I shared my experience on the PLPD discord of me trying Jellied Eels know that I died a Martyr that day. If you think you're gonna like Jellied eels, you probably aren't, and if you think you'd hate them, mate, you KNOW you'll hate them. I've heard "PRoPa brI IsH frEsH Eels In yE oL nAtUrAl gElAtInE sOlUtIoN" is better than the potted shit, but trust me, you aren't finding fresh jellied Eels with "real eel Jelly (a phrase that shouldn't exist but does)" Anywhere since there's probably a handful of people making it and its probably for very specific customers in gods waiting room towns. It has pretty good nutritional value though since the jelly of storebought jellied eels has omega 3 in it, Unfortunately your body will likely refuse to let you eat anymore than a single bite and whilst I haven't tried a whole tub, I can make an educated guess that any more than the 3 pieces I ate would have a 20% Survival rate.

Quick hot takes on Shellfish:
- Scallops are godly
- Mussels are pretty good, but have grit in them and should only be eaten really in sauce to get rid of the taste of the contents of its stomach.
- Oysters are god tier but you gotta source them carefully lest you want to shit your weight in diarrhea every afternoon for a week from 17 foodbourne illnesses.
- Prawns are godly, you probably already knew this though. Barbequed prawns rock
- Lobster is posh prawns but tastes so much better.
- (UNPOPULAR OPINION) King crab leg meat > Lobster tail.
- Tinned crab is alright?
- Fresh (and I mean to elaborate on that, FRESH) Crab, such as dressed crab from a fish monger, is on top and makes great sandwiches, Salads, whatever.
- Cockles are just miniature mussels. They are good pickled or in a salad, or pickled in a salad. Again they have grit issues.
- Crayfish is fucking delicious and its really good for the environment to kill them and eat them since they're usually american crayfish which is an invasive species in the UK #MakeOurCrayfishGreatAgain.

Final hot take: Crab sticks are pretty good.
