Tuna, mahi mahi and tilapia are very good suggestions, as would be red snapper.

If you go for salmon, I'd try a fresh wild sockeye salmon. It is very good when BBQed.

The walleye suggestion is a very good one too. Doré (walleye in french) amandine is a very good French recipe that you might want to try.

Pan-fried sole with a lemon-butter-caper sauce. Tasty.

I have sworn off farmed tilapia, shrimp, and eel, at least if they are from China. Once you know what they are fed . . . . yuck.

I was not going to mention it, but since you did, I have sworn off tilapia period. The only fish I know where you can put a pound of shit in 10" of water and get a pound of fish back.

Salmon is a great choice but do yourself a favor and seek out wild Salmon only. I would also recommend Scallops - again try to seek out Diver or Day Boat Scallops as they will be bigger and have a better texture. Dover Sole is excellent as well. All of the above are quite mild and great places to start.

a lot of fish are over-fished. check this list out for species that are harvested sustainably.

Halibut is one of my favorites, Shark is not.

Great advice.

Farm raised, colored added salmon pales next to wild-caught salmon; look at the color and the oily texture(!)

Sure wild salmon is great, and far better for you than farmed salmon, but it's not that easy to come by year round. Plus, it's usually 33 - 50% more expensive than the farmed version. There is nothing wrong with frozen fish either. Not everybody has access to a respectable fish monger, or a fresh fish supply for that matter. If you can find flash-frozen wild fish I'd give it a shot. It would probably be better than the 2 day old farmed crap at the local mega mart.

to be fair, it was just a mild balsamic glaze, nothing crazy - everyone who's tried it says the flavor profile is spot-on :shrug:

I find the frozen seafood @ Trader Joe's to be a pretty good value. Usually wild, flash frozen, and easily 1/2 or less the price of fresh wild-caught fish.

Orange Roughy with a dash of powdered ginger and a light splash of soy sauce under a broiler for several minutes - it's like eating a pat of butter. To help your "i don't like fish" fear, overcook it slightly to help firm it up. But seriously the flavor is amazing and the prep couldn't be more simple. / drool
