Do you prefer salmon or white fish?

I buy red salmon more often than I buy white fish as I buy online and can trust them to give me the salmon but not the white fish!
Also i have read that the salmon is the most healthy of fish, and while I do not make it often, I make it if I can think of something different to do with it.

I love friend fish however am not good at making this as my batter always sticks.

I like both fish, but use salmon more than white fish!

I like both but at different occasions. I usually have white fish at home prepared in a variety of ways. The last time I had salmon was at a hotel. It was quite bland.

I don't eat salmon at all. I am not fond of fish, so white fish, preferably whiting, is it for me. I never cook fish either as I am cr@p at it and I cannot stand the smell in the house.

Oh! for crying out loud!!!!!!!! lol lol lol

That isTHEmost hilarious thing in the world!!!! My neighbour won't cook fish either, so I always do it for her son in the school holidays, as he LOVES my fish and chips more than shop-bought ones!!!! And he tells everyone that it is the best in the world! What a darling boy!!

OOps I was talking about about the pic made me laugh :)

LOL. That's okay, jonaj, I knew what you meant :-))))))

I don't enjoy cooked salmon, I prefer raw or smoked, which probably sounds really strange. Any sort of fish that is pinkish is off limits for me.
I really enjoy white fish, I feel like white fish is a bit more versatile. I used to buy Basa as it was very cheap and I was a student, but now I buy blue grenadier or something of better quality.

I hate salmon, it makes me gag. I love tinned tuna and smoked mackerel; they are my favourites. I like some white fish like bass, sea bass, and pollock, but I don't like plaice or haddock. I'm not one way or the other with cod as it does not really taste of much.

I eat tinned tuna too . . . my sister picks the bones out of tinned salmon and eats them . . . . . . ¯\_(⊙︿⊙)_/¯

She wats the bones? Isn't that dangerous? I didn't think the tinned fish still contained the bones.

Yep, for some reason salmon is canned with bones and she loves to crunch them up. Yuck. They are not rock hard . . . so she tells me. More yuck with a bit of ick and poop mixed in. I couldn't chew on them :(

I Definitely wouldn't chew on a fish bone.

My favorite fish is salmon. I love it. I like most white fish too but is definitely my favorite.

I now have to eat pink salmon 4-6 times a week for dinner, I use the very thin pkt Tasmanian fresh.
It helps my condition a lot!

by jonaja

You HAVE to? I thought smoked is not good to eat too much?

Oh, you healthy people that do what your doctor tells you. . . *eye roll* . . . LOL LOL LOL x x

Jonaj, I eat smoked salmon for breakfast every morning on the cruises, with cream cheese, capers & freshly ground black pepper on 1 side of a something that I can't remember the name of now! 1 side of a round bread thing with a hole in the middle, (no, not a doughnut!) Now I just have on it's own, without the bread.
At home I cook salmon cutlets or fillets once a week, & we have tin tuna once a week.

I do like salmon very much, but I very rarely buy it and cook it, so I would have to say that I eat far more white fish.

I like both.

by janet

Me too. Both.

I prefer the red salmon and have it often. With white fish I prefer it to be covered with Panko crumbs and lightly fried in light olive oil. I also eat a lot of smoked salmon with a few capers and garlic aïoli.

I like both, though with salmon, when not baked, I adore it SMOKED!!! I also absolutely LOVE fresh hot smoked mackerel,straight from the smoker!! To die for!!! I am very fond of fresh spanish mackerel cooked in all sorts of ways.as it has a delicious flavour as well as a gorgeous flaky texture! Usually, I just simply pan fry it with butter, lemon or lime juice, and fresh herbs fron my garden! In fact I cook all my white reef fish this way as it does not intrude upon, but enhances, their delightful natural attributes! Living in the tropics means that I have access to truly wonderful fresh fish at reasonable prices. and often my friends will share their catches with me, making it even more cost effective!! The salmon , being a colder water fish comes from Tasmania,and has finally started to come down to a more affordable price. I don't buy it very often though.

White fish because I believe there is so much more you can do with it - this means a much wider variety of flavours than you get with salmon

by Belinda

I love fish. Salmon would be my favorite. The only one I do not like is tuna. Fresh or tinned I enjoy them all.

by njsan

Njsan, you just wrote you didn't like tuna, then you wrote you like them all!

I just love fish. Salmon is nice but I like white fish in batter (or not) as long as it isn't overcooked. My favourite is flat fish : flounder, John Dory, plaice, lemon sole and I have never tried Turbot…. I would love to try that fish.

I prefer white fish to salmon, it's not that I dislike salmon, but find it a stronger taste than the white fish.

by Diana Nairn

I try to cook salmon once a week. We really enjoy it. I cook it so the skin is nice and crispy. Oh yeah!

by Vee

I prefer salmon if i have to buy it from a shop. I have never caught one.

I absolutely love fresh fish that has just been caught. My favourite is the mighty barramundi in the Northern Territory. Yum.
