What is your favorite kind of fish? Also why are tuna and salmon so unique, compared to other fish? Is it related to the fact that they swim across oceans?

I like swai fish but looking into it apparently it's not that great of a fish when looking into farming and antibiotic use. Oh well.
I don't eat fish often due to how expensive it is, if I had the money I'd be eating it for protein more than any other meat product.

Swai / pangasius often contains metals, so you shouldn't eat it more than twice a month. But it doesn't taste much different than any other white fish.

I live in Hawaii, so pretty much everything is way too expensive, except that every now and then some tourist boat will land a shitload of swordfish or marlin and it'll be cheaper than frozen chicken for a few days.

Lately I've been super into tuna because my local grocery store has had it cheap. ~$5 for 2 tuna steaks that I cook with a little cayenne, black pepper, salt, butter and oil and with minimal effort they turn out fantastic. I was nervous when I first made some, same with standard beef steak, but after making it a few times it seems like nothing. My overall favorite dish is mackerel but I don't eat it outside of restaurants or cans because my LGS doesn't carry it.

I used to hate fish until I actually had it fresh. Fresh as in I caught it and within 15 minutes had it gutted and cooking in a pan just with garlic salt. Good flavor, not that typical super "fishy" taste and smell.

I prefer Salmon obviously; but herring family fishies are good too, this would include sardines.

Mackerel too, highly underrated.

And anchovies for sauces.

I like most fish but since I live close to the gulf I mostly eat fish that come from there. Red snapper redfish amberjack flounder grouper dauphin are most of the Staples. I catch alot of mackerel (Spanish and King) but it's not my favorite. The best if probably grilled snapper throats. The meat is very close to the cheek piece absolutely delicious!

I love a grilled Norwegian mackerel. They're so oily that they taste buttery. You don't even have to season them if you don't want to. A little pinch of salt and you're good to go.

I like the crispy top layer the best. They have an easy to remove spine and maybe about 5 or 6 smaller bones in the fillet, but once those are pulled out, it's a BIG fleshy fish and it's so satisfying.
