In these frugal times and in a world full of thick bastards, its about time we all got some more Omega 3 in our bodies. Fish is one of the best sources. So what is your favourite and how do you have it?

Agree 💯

Fleetwood Cod tonight for tea.

And before anyone says it’s not landed at Fleetwood anymore I caught this my self last week. 🎣

As for my favourite I love it all particular Muscles, Prawns Scallops, Crab, and of course any fish.

Lobster is just over priced and largely tasteless compared to Crab.

Thought you fished off Anglesey now
 
I love finned Haddock atleast once per week. My granma first made it me many years ago and always stuck to it. Brits should deffinatly eat more seafood. Surely in Blackpool the seafood must be spot on. At the minute I just get mine from asda £4 for 2.
 
Halibut is my favourite but like most fish just not a shellfish fan and definitely not any of the mass produced farmed shite they sell in supermarkets like Seabass and Salmon which are tasteless.
 
I'm lucky as can get very fresh fish and seafood relatively cheaply, apart from percebes which are always massively expensive, but im not keen on them anyway. fresh mackerel is a favourite, and but i always have a couple of tins in the pantry. My other half prefers sardines so there is always a few of those as well. I buy tinned clams fairly regularly and can make quick pasta dishes with them. I almost always buy pickled boquerones, they make a nice pre-dinner pintxo on fresh bread with sliced ugly tomatoes, and there's always tinned salted boquerones as well for pizzas and occasionally chopped and dropped into a salad.

one thing i miss from England although not actually tinned is smoked mackerel, really nice with a boiled egg for breakfast.
 
I cook line caught Haddock loin regularly and of course tinned tuna. I eat fish normally when out for dinner at restaurants.

I’ve also supplemented with Reflex Omega 3 capsules for about ten years. I’ll keep doing that as, as you say Allez it’s needed for the grey matter.

Regarding oily fish: salmon, trout both brilliant, poached and baked. Mackerel fillets and sardines on toast, yes. Favourite, two Manx kippers, smothered in butter and lightly grilled, long enough for them to fall off the bones. My wife hates the smell so I have to open all doors and windows. So, not a winter dish chez moi.

Should give out supplements of that Omga when joined this place.. Ffs... Lol
 
There`s an ace seafood restaurant in Newlyn, Cornwall called "Mackerel Sky" which is like a tapas place, if anyone gets over that way.

Been to it twice this summer, first when I was staying with a pal, and second time with mrs spud who said it was the best fish restaurant she`d ever been to.

Best sea food platter I`ve had locally is at the Fleece at Dolphinholme....
 
Don't eat red or white meat, so fish is my staple. Tinned tuna and mackerel, salmon with some sort of flavour, real haddock if I can get it.

Seafood up in the NW of Scotland is amazing, some of the best and cleanest in the world. Crab, prawns, lobster, mackerel, smoked Hallibut from Giga.

Edit to add. Rollmops, but the sweet cured dill ones. Had some ordinary from Morrisons a while ago, vinegar must have been pH 1, not good for the teeth!

@Jaffa_The_Hut I used to work with a lass who's husband was a fish monger. She said that cod is often riddled with white worm. Rarely eaten it since (even though it's harmless cooked). Any experience of this landing cod?

100% Mac although I’d argue the worms are actually little red ones that are clearly seen so can be removed at the time of filleting.
The whole of the NW coast of England right up into Scotland is being effected by this although the Flyde coast isn’t too bad right now.
We fished out of Port Logan last year and pretty much all the Cod we caught are riddled with these little red worms, we also fished Shetland last year and about 1 in 3 Cod we caught were riddled with these worms.
As you say it really puts you off eating it.
Other white fish like Haddock, Ling, Pollock, Whiting, don’t seem to be infected by these worms just the Cod for some strange reason.

Just made myself a Tuna wrap for lunch; tuna , diced tomato, cucumber , avocado and mayo (I hope Malced isn't monitoring this board)
Last night a lovely piece of Salmon with Jerk seasoning in the air fryer
Tinned mackerel in tomato sauce is good as well
