Give me some healthy ways to cook this shit. I have been eating a shitload of red meat so I am starting this week back on chicken/turkey only but going to try and throw some fish into the mix.
Only way I can think of thus far is some lemon pepper, lemon juice and maybe some planko crumbs.
I am just going to buy a big bag of them at walmart, they are individually wrapped. I am guessing I need to let them thaw and can't just throw them on a baking sheet frozen.

Get pollock ....
Blackened tilapia is very good. That is the only way I have ever prepared it, but then again, I have only cooked tilapia once...
I like this fish, nice and light.

Do they sell it frozen?
The only thing I have really eaten is cod/haddock really. I tried Tuna once but made it kind of shitty and it turned me off to it. Love the stuff in a can/bag though.
I don't think fish taste very good more than a day or two after it was cooked so I figured getting frozen filets would allow me to be able to make something in 20 minutes or so if I needed it.
Plus cod/haddock is expensive here 9/10$ lb.. Not that I am broke I just prefer to get the most bang for the buck I can.

Yeah, it comes frozen. I had it the other right (in the nom nom thread). Light fish, good over rice.

I was expecting you to say put it in some fish tacos lol.
On another note, tilapia would make some bomb ass fish tacos, as long as you used grilled tilapia instead of fried.

Damn. I got two lbs of cod for $7 here on sale.
I use a lot of Old Bay seasoning on my tilapia when I bake it. And McCormick seafood sauce. I grill it over charcoal sometimes using some Lemon Citrus seasoning.

LOL. I fucking love mexican food. It is the one food that I can literally eat until I am beyond miserable, and keep eating.
It is my stomach's achilles heel.

Mexican was always FTW to me too until I got food poisoning from a local mexican place last Friday.
I love mexican food so much that I could forgive it for doing me wrong like that. It could put me in the hospital and I would always go running back.
I would be like a little battered woman with black eyes running back to it everytime.

Just eat at the NEWER and BETTER restaurant 1/4mile from my house. Why we didn't go there to begin with you may ask?
Saved $2 on a pitcher of beer by going to the other place. lawl

Between 6-8. There is only 3 of us here. His mother makes them every morning for him. The best is when his grandmother comes up form Mexico and makes tamales. There is nothing better than fresh tamales still hot from being steamed.

Why do Mexican's make tamales for Christmas?
So they can have something to unwrap.
