Baked some tilapia tonight in a marinade of soy sauce, white rum, lemon juice, ground ginger, garlic, salt & pepper. Yum.
When I'm cooking it's generally ahi tuna, salmon (wild, if its available), tilapia, seabass, or thresher shark.
At sushi I always order tuna, yellowtail, salmon, albacore, and occasionally some freshwater eel.

I couldn't imagine living away from the coast. I eat fresh fish regularly, and I can't stand the frozen crap. Snapper and sword fish are my favourites.
You act like there are no fish living in fresh waters. No doubt, living on the coast has the nice advantage of fresh seafood, but it's not like we don't have fish inland too... LOL.

I can't for the life of me find a good source of freshwater fish. Trout and catfish, both when bought in the store, taste really muddy and gross, I guess because the places where they catch them are muddy and gross.
Store bought catfish and trout are almost certainly farm raised. Farm raised fish do taste a bit different and some people don't like that. Or maybe you just don't like those fish in general? Have you ever had trout or catfish that you did like?

Not really, but then again I don't think I've ever had quality catfish or trout without the muddy taste. I've heard that good trout is not supposed to taste muddy.
Yeah I know, I used to live in an inland city called Rotorua with a lot of lakes around (well, inland as in it took me 1 hour to drive to the ocean. That's inland in NZ). So we used to go trout fishing and eeling a lot. I know about fresh water seafood, and I know enough to tell you that it doesn't even compare to ocean food. A nice rainbow trout is really good smoked, but give me a marlin fillet any day.

I've been a commercial fisherman. The best frozen cod fillets are in my opinion "Icelandic Cod Fillets," sold at restaurant supply stores. A five pound box is about $25.00. If you want to go cheaper, you can cut the price by 33% to 50% by choosing to buy Pollock Filets. Pollock Filets are what you will find at buffets and inexpensive fish restaurants. We used to use them (whole pollack) for catching crab, but then switched to herring which smelled stronger.
Shrimp or prawns are great when caught in the open ocean, they have flavor and texture. We used to call prawns "pot shrimp," because we caught them in traps. Avoid any farmed seafood products. Watch the documentary, "Farming the Seas." Farmed prawns have never had any flavor for me, they are bland. BTW, when you work shrimp, you throw away your clothes after the season. You'll never get the smell out.
It's funny. I used to get all the King Crab I could eat, but I couldn't afford a steak in town. People like king crab because it's easy to eat the legs. Most fisherman agree that Dungeness is the best tasting crab. If you'd like a crab feast, buy a 5 pound can of fresh frozen Dungeness Crab Meat, about $70.00.
Interesting info: Snow crab or Tanner crab used to have their meat extracted by running the legs through rollers like an old washing machine ringer. Black lights were used to see fragments of crab shells. They really show up.

They made soup out of the head, stir fried the fins and big bony chunks with tofu and pork, and steamed the fillets.I eat salmon 3 - 4 times a week. It's SOOOO good for you, and it's a rather tasty mild/moderate fish.
I also really like Tilapia. My wife doesn't care for fish so we'll have this every once in awhile since it's a very mild fish and we can have it together.
