lemon juice works well on most fish.


also, if you like spicy asian stuff, try putting a dab of wasabi paste into a plate of soy sauce and stirring it into each other with a chop stick then dipping you fish into this. it tastes great !

Strong, oily fish like salmon go well with acidic juices/sauces - lemon, red wine, vinegar, tomato.  Hollandaise sauce is a traditional lemon one (although too much butter for a bodybuilder), red wine reduction (again with butter, but you can be sparing).  Salmon Putanesca (so named because it was traditionally served by prostitutes to their clients) - with olives, capers, and pasta, in a tomato sauce is good and easy if you just buy some Paul Newman's.

White fish will benefit from asian marinades.  I don't really eat much white fish tho, it's kind of dull.  Swordfish marinated in teriyaki, soy, and fresh ginger is great. 

For tuna, just open can, chew, chase with water.  ;)  Or mix it with cottage cheese - makes it easier to eat without the fat of mayonaise.

Lemon is always good. Can't go wrong with that. You can also toss some garlic on a skillet in whatever oil you like cooking with, coat some fish in soy sauce and sugar and fry it up (very little sugar of course). I don't do much else than that. A little bok choy or gailan goes good with fish. I usually make beef or chicken gailan but fish is nice from time to time.

Again, the easiest thing for me to do is grab a container of "Real Lemon" and just squirt that shit on the fish until my eyes bug out of my face. I love sour shit.

Hahahaha,
I'm acturaly the best at cooking fish.
I need to know the species you would like to cook./


Orange roughy,
dip the fish in egg, and then in flour with garic salt.
fry in the pan with olive oil.  not too much, but enough
to keep it saturated.  Then squeeze lemon juice on it,
Fuckin awesome.

That sounds awesome, but I thought Olive Oil Denatured when you cook it?  If this is not correct please let me know

You might be thinking if it's over heated ~ ie; past it's smoke point, which is something like 325.  Saute' ing is not a problem.

Excessively heating olive oil will only evaporate the alcohols and esters which make up its taste and 'aroma". Heating it will not change its health aspects, only the flavor. Use a cheaper olive oil which doesn't have much flavor to begin with if you want to fry with it and add a more flavorful oil after cooking.
