Stop. You have ten seconds to post your favorite fish before you can go back to shitposting. Mine's red snapper, usually done with a honey miso glaze. Cod baked in breadcrumbs is a close second.

You do eat seafood right? Please tell me you don't spend your life eating the same three fucking animals every day when there are dozens of types of fish.

Catfish: That thing that Poppy catches but the Fish and Game warden says he has to throw back.
Hammerhead: The thing that Poppy catches but he insists would make a good soup as he wrestles the first mate for the shark.

I can't pick just one, it depends a lot on what I'm doing. Even if you make it super specific like "serve on rye for lunch" I still have to pick between three ways to prepare mackerel, three ways to serve herring, one way to prepare plaice and one way to prepare tuna.

I guess if you made it something like "you can only ever have one type of fish ever again," I'd probably pick salmon just because it's so versatile but man.

i live on Cape Cod and go fishing twice a week, so i have access to some pretty incredible fish. I'm thinking about going straight pescatarian this summer.
>striped bass. Super versitile and meaty. Usually do it grilled, but its great poached with an aromatic broth, too.
>Black Seabass. These tasty little fuckers are just amazing. I tend to grill them whole, although en papellote come out insanely good.
>Bluefish. This fish is one toothy bastard. They keep trying to eat you even after they are in the fish box. Its a really oily fish, but if iced and bled properly and grilled fresh, it's shockingly tasty. also smokes well and makes a mean patê
>flounder/fluke. Pretty standard sweet white flatfish. Make flounder like you would dover sole, fluke like you would halibut. Pain in the ass to clean, but well worth it.
>Atlantic Bonito. These little tuna are amazing. They fight like hell and taste great. Seared in sesame oil, or steak cut and grilled.
>cod/haddock/pollock. Baked with ritz crackers, butter, lemon and white wine. It's pleb tier recipe but why fuck with delicious?
>bluefin/yellowfin. Bluefins are a colossal pain the ass when you catch one, but every year i try for days like an idiot. recreational anglers cant sell them, so i wind up giving HUNDREDS of pounds of bluefin away when it happens. Like, literally, these fish are worth $5k apiece but we're prohibited from cashing in, so pretty much everyone i know gets 10 lbs. but man is it good... the yellows are much smaller and managable. 30/40 lbs.

Guess what man, all food that comes from animals had bones and skin and eyeballs at one point. You think it just magically appears in nice wrapped packages in the supermarket? Moreover, you don't recognize the literally thousands of years of tradition behind eating seafood? It was a staple part of our diet in pretty well every coastal country in the world since humans settled there. Calling it 'diversity food' is patently ridiculous.

I am pescatarian so seafood is my main source of protein. Sockeye salmon is by far my favourite fish. But dover sole breaded, with a lemon abd caper butter sauce is up there. Halibut and cod are staplestoo especially for fish and chips.

Red snapper, sablefish, and Arctic char are good but I don't eat them a lot. Canned fish like tuna, mackerel/sardines and anchovies are always in my pantry. Smoked trout is always a treat.

Alaskan Sockeye Salmon is one of the best. Farming takes far more resources than wild fish, but what they do with Alaskan Sockeye is start the fish in a hatchery and then release them in the wild to restock. This shores up populations while taking far less resources than farming.

Though on the other side of that, farmed shellfish are more environmentally friendly than unfarmed for a variety of reasons. And anything you catch yourself is likely going to be a-okay since catch limits are put in place after years of studying sustainability.
