I'm actually not a fan of fish, I can eat it just fine but flavor and texture wise it's kinda whatever, simply not to my taste.
But fuck me sideways I love cooking fish, poached, grilled, baked I don't fucking care. The smell the way it crisps, fish is just very satisfying to cook as a sensory experience.
My favorite seafood to cook is mussels. I hate them, they're gross and like 10% of what you're eating is poop, but in my chef days I was on an island known for its "farmed that morning" levels of fresh mussels.
There was this recipe that was fucking wonderful
>1lb mussels
>pad butter
> salt pepper
>fresh parsley sprig
>garlic
>honey
>spicy Dijon mustard
>heat till you develop a very pretty brownish gold fond
>half pint of heffiwiesen beer
>keep on heat til done
It made this fucking gorgeous golden and onyx display that made me wish I liked them at all.
Looked similar to pic related, but a deep brown gold and more swimming in the broth
