actually battered balls of corn, and they are popular with catfish in the deep south, just like sausage gravy is with biscuits, and we will leave bacon out of the popularity among regions stuffz, cuz all peoples like bacon.

Yup that 116 year old Negro lady who just passed away said she ate bacon every day.

It has been so long since I had hush puppies that I forgot they were corn not potatoes. Thanks.
 
As a general rule, I don't like cooked fish. I'll eat tuna fish salad and white fish salad, I'll eat cod/haddoch and tahini (middle-eastern) and siyadiyya (Lebanese), and I'll eat fried catfish. And I'll eat seared tuna, so long as the center is raw. And that's about it.

My favorite fish is salmon, but I will not eat cooked salmon. Fish, like steak, is meant to be eaten as raw as possible, and most fish should be eaten completely raw. Lox (not Nova Lox, then the smoke cooks it and it does back to tasting like piss) is excellent. I'd like to make some homemade lox, since it's basically just making a safe, homemade sashimi. The brining process only slightly changes the flavor.

But on the whole? I'd rather eat seafood. Still, fish is healthy source of proteins.

Yes, I really like lightly fried catfish with a cornmeal coating.

Jeeze if you want to go all the way back to basics then we should be killing our own meat just like UBL did the goats in his compound before the Army and Navy descended upon him and his sons and daughters in law and wives and the little kids.

Then if we eat it freshly killed there is no risk of bacteria since bacteria cannot live inside a living animal host.

We could rub the blood all over ourselves and dance around the campfire while we are at it.

But in the meantime I cook my meat.

My cat on the other hand prefers freshly hunted squirrels, moles, rats, mice, songbirds, ducklings, and crows however -- better than the canned cat food and kibbles that I lovingly give him.

What you just said is non-sequitur, then a completely random reference to a cult, followed by something wrong and oddly ethnocentric, and then an affirmation that you like cooked meat. I think that should be called an "Epic Non-Sequitur."

But... Umm... Okay? I still like like fish raw. If you cook it, it usually tastes worse, and sometimes tastes so much worse it's inedible. Steak should be as rare as possible, too. It's called liking your meat to taste like not an overly chewy charcoal brick. BBQ is good, roasts are good, they have a place, but fish largely shouldn't be cooked. Although like I said, lox is a good compromise.

Lox is smoked. That's a form of cooking.

So salmon isn't the favorite fish for some people.

What is?

When you buy and cook your own fish, what's your favorite, and how do you prepare it?

(not talking about fish you catch and eat here - this is about store bought fish)

How do you season it?
How do you cook it? Grill? Bake? Fry? Smoke?
Marinate?

I like fish grilled, baked,broil, sauteed in a pan, smoked or fried. If its grilled, baked,or broiled then mostly just salt and pepper.Every once in a while I might have blackened season on it. If its fried and at home I either used just cornmeal or crushed saltines that has been seasoned with salt and pepper, which I will either use lemon juice, malted vinegar or Franks Red hot mixed with a little butter to dip my fish in.

Very interesting. Sort of a pre-salted breading.

Usually in my family we make fried pork chops using very coarsely ground saltines.But we started using it for fish when I saw this recipe using saltines. It does fill you up pretty quick. It doesn't seem salty, but we use generic saltines, so maybe they cut down on the salt.

I might like to try that with some store-bought catfish.
