I usually eat tilapia. It's my fave. I can season it any number of ways and it always tastes good to me. Not to mention, I just cook it in the microwave, which is not the idea way to prepare fish. But it's definitely edible.
Nevertheless, I recently decided that I wanted to expand my fish choices. I mean, I eat salmon regularly. But I can't eat it nearly as often as it's a little too rich for my taste. So I went to the SeaBest website to check out their other fish varieties. I chose SeaBest as that's the brand that is sold at my local grocer. I also like that they individually freeze and wrap their 4 oz servings.
SeaBest categorizes their fish by texture and flavor.
