I want to venture into the wonderful world of seafood...
I want to try and eat more fish instead of as much red meat...and I'm sick of chicken! I'm not a big fish eater and someone told me that flounder would be a good place to start becasue it's not as "fishy" as some fish...Any ideas on how to cook it? I am going to get it fresh tonight...I was thinking in a pan with alittle olive oil and lemon juice might be good...any other ideas? Keep in mind, I've never cooked fish before Be gentle!

Talk to whoever is working at the fish counter where you buy. They have great info and can really match you up with good product. You can fry it, you can grill it, some even mircowave well. Good luck and keep us posted on what you find1

Orange Roughy is pretty non-fishy to me.
I also like seared tuna that's mostly rare. No fishiness at all.
Orange roughy fillets in white wine
INGREDIENTS
* 4 orange roughy fillets (approximately 1 1/2lbs)
* 1 cup of medium white wine
* 1/2 cup of all-purpose flour
* salt and pepper
* 1 tbsp of butter
* 1 onion finely chopped
* 1 tsp of capers (optional)
(I might even squeeze a little lemon on top. That will help with fishiness.)
METHOD
Marinate fish in wine in refrigerator for 15-60 minutes. Drain fish and reserve wine.
Pat fish dry and coat with flour seasoned with salt and pepper.
Heat butter and gently cook onion three to five minutes. Add wine and capers and cook over high heat for two to three minutes, until the liquid is reduced by half.
Serves 4.

Orange Roughy is by FAR the best fish I have found. I have tried Cod and flounder but they just don't do it for me.

I love ALL fish. I would suggest Tilapia. Lightly season it with whatever seasoning you like. I LOVE the lemon-pepper flavor. Brush lightly with olive oil, bake it for 10-12 mins in a 400 degree oven. Magnifique!!!

This sounds really good. I will have to try this myself.

My favorite fish is really really simple. I just take salmon, either steaks or an entire half salmon and place citrus (lemons, oranges, and/or limes) and onion slices all over it. Then I bake it and serve it with fresh slices of the same fruit to squeeze over it.
Bake at 350 for 10 to 40 minutes depending on the thickness and size of the cut.
tnade: When you bake fish you don't have to flip it. If you're frying it, you probably want to flip it though you do not have to if it is very thin. Be sure to use enough oil/cooking spray and a non-stick pan if you have problems with it sticking. Fish is supposed to be somewhat flakey when it's done cooking so don't worry too much about it falling apart-- if you feel it's too dry, then cook for less time or lower the temperature next time.
Thanks all for the responses! I didn't end up trying any fish last night...I went to the store and all they had fresh was shark and salmon! So this weekend I'm going to try and hunt down some other kinds of fish ...

Kristina...I agree with the other posts re: Orange Roughy. I like all fish (except Salmon) and this is definitely the most mild. I like to coat the filets in corn flake crumbs and bake them in the oven...mmmm.
