A little fishy
-
I'm not very good with fish. I don't really like them that much so far, but I've been tasting more of them to see what I do like. I've found that whiting is nice. I generally taste the same "tone" or mild flavor in all seafood I've tried, and it's what I don't like about it. Shrimp does not have this flavor either, but so far whiting is the only fish I've found that doesn't. Anyone have any idea what I'm talking about? What makes whiting different from the other fish?

Everything tastes like chicken. Stop being a wimp and just eat the fish: it's good for you - all of it.

You probably don't live near a very fresh supply of seafood (I know whereabouts you reside, and I know Chicago isn't much better, except fresh fish does get flown into nice places here often). Anyways, to me, it sounds like a problem of freshness. See if you can find any local Tilapia farmers. I know of one NW of Chicago that uses a hydroponic farming + Tilapia farming in a symbiotic relationship. Just get fresh fish, and most good fresh fish does not taste fishy, except catfish I think.

I'm not sure what it is. I know shrimp, whiting, clams, and things like fish sticks don't have it. Tuna doesn't either. Everything else has the same weird flavor to it. I don't know if there is something that makes some have it, and others not, but it would be helpful in selecting it in the future.

Whiting aren't fish. It's a type of insect, closely related to the locust. I can write a find a wiki page to prove it, if you like... :laugh:

catfish can taste like mud (though the farm-raised stuff i've been getting doesn't), but i've never had it taste 'fishy'.

}I was a vegetarian :D I am sticking with the meat because I feel amazing during workouts when I eat fish and/or chicken for lunch. Fish is very noticeable, more so than chicken. Pork and beef don't really have an impact at all for workouts, so I don't eat that stuff.

'whiting' is kind of a generic name for many different kinds of fish - depending on where you get it. so it's hard to say exactly what it is you're getting. in the north-eastern US, 'whiting' might be haddock or cod or one of several related species. in the north-west, it could be pollock (also related to haddock & cod).

Very true, the fishy taste only shows up in less-fresh fish. I remember reading somewhere it has something to do with the break down of a protein that occurs in high concentration in fish because of something about the way their muscles work (it's present in non-fish too, just in low concentrations). I don't remember all the details, but basically the sooner you eat it the less fishy the fish will be.

Because my mind is usually in the gutter, everything about this post reminded me of fish.

Whiting is a cheap, poor man's fish. It is usually used at amusement parks and cheap reastaurants and street vendors. It's good but not that good. Talapia is very good, white, mild tasting fish. Talapia, has been growing in popularity in the last few years. Note: If the fish has a foul odor, than don't buy it or eat it...that simple.

All the bags of frozen fish fillets smell the same (kinda like plastic and/or ice).

Based on what I've read recently, this is still called whiting pretty often.

Just realized my mistake. I usually just call it Haddock and not whiting. You are right, Haddock AKA whiting. Talapia, is good as well as Chilean Sea Bass. I wouldn't buy my fish, frozen. Fresh is best, on ice. If you don't smell anything, then the fish is "most" likely fresh. :)

He's a long way from any fresh fish aside from some farms. Tilapia is great, I cooked mine with lots of Cumin and Cheyenne, a little mustard powder.

Sounds real good. Like a rub. Nice.
