re: What Fish For What Dish?
White fishes like pollock have a very mild flavour. I also like cod and haddock.
All fish has bones but you just need to get fillets or get the fishmonger to remove them.
re: What Fish For What Dish?
tofu
re: What Fish For What Dish?
Tofu isn’t a fish as far as I know 
Tilapia is definitely my favorite
re: What Fish For What Dish?
I want to make fish curry and fillets just won’t work for that so I wanted something that has fewer bones.
Hubby wants to eat fish but he doesn’t want it to smell like it.
Tilapia and cod taste delish in a curry.
re: What Fish For What Dish?
i make salan with snapper with bones. it tastes awesome. I don’t like like salan with boneless fish like talapia etc. use shaan fish 1 tbsp to make bangali salan. umm
What Fish
Haddock..it’s a nice firm white fish, not odorous and stands up well in curries
boneless fish.
O baba, all you have to do is buy a steak cut off tilapia instead of fillet cut.
re: What Fish For What Dish?
^i have only seen boneless talapia
re: What Fish For What Dish?
Lol
re: What Fish For What Dish?
How about Salmon?
re: What Fish For What Dish?
It definitely has bones though
Salmon is an amazing fish, unfortunately is the worst fish for desi cooking
re: What Fish For What Dish?
oh bhai i m talking about fillet:D
re: What Fish For What Dish?
I think Salmon has a very strong smell and flavour.
Steak cut pieces are best for curries/ Salan as the bone keeps the fish together. But I really hate bones as i think i got one stuck in my throat years ago so i have this fear of hem. I have made curry with fillet pieces of cod and haddock before, just make sure you have nice thick pieces and don’t turn it too much.
As for the smell of the fish, if you marinate it in garlic for a few hours then it doesn’t smell, we never fry/cook fish without putting garlic on it first.
re: What Fish For What Dish?
You know what would be great? a comprehensive guide or list that tells you which fish is best for certain cooking methods, like what’s the best fish for batter/deep frying, desi style, baking, grilling, salans, etc.

re: What Fish For What Dish?
salmon is a favourite for me and my daughter…we just like it grilled and then have it with dill, sour cream and pickled onions (okay she doesn’t like the onions, only I do)
unfortunately it’s not a good fish for curry.
I think I recall Papa using Snapper for curry. I’m going to try that.
I’ve never seen Cod or Haddock in any format other than fillet. Will have to go hunting for that.
Sara…that’s a great idea…maybe I’ll update the first post with info that people contribute in this thread. Tried and true recipes/advise only please!
Re: What Fish For What Dish?
Great! 
One of my favorite seafood dishes is panko crusted salmon and vegetables–recipe courtesy of Khattichic. And then using leftover salmon and making tikkis out of them.
