I cant afford the tartar sauce calories :)

sliced lemon sounds good, as well as haibut and flounder.

I have to try more new fish than tuna, shark and salmon. the steaks are great but about 8 or 9 a pound.

For what it is worth... always check the country of origin. We don’t buy any fish (or food products/bath stuff/etc) from China. Tartar sauce calories are up there, aren’t they? Personally, I find it hides the true taste of the fish.

Best of luck in your journey.

A George Foreman grill is a good start. Fast cooking, quick, easy cleanup, and drains most fat off of anything.
Great way for cooking fish. Great way for cooking anything@

Tilapia is a tasty fish, and comes individual piece flash frozen at Costco. Not as pricey as some of the other fish. Try a tilapia filet on the Foreman grill with a lemon juice-caper sauce.

Find an Asian supermarket, and find a jar of sushi ginger. (Refrigerated.) Very inexpensive. Very versatile, and jumpstarts any meal. (And it’s great for digestion.) Capers are a luxury, but a heavenly treat for fish, and a jar lasts a long time.

I just had a piece of tuna tonight cooked in the Foreman grill. 5 minutes! Tuna, marinated in soy sauce, then topped with a sprinkle of sesame seeds, and slices of the ginger. Close the lid. Wait 5 minutes. YUM!

Try a sesame oil stir fry with veggies. Good sesame oil is intense, and you don’t need much.

The big thing is satisfaction. You don’t want to think all day long about food satisfaction. That’s why diets don’t work. You just think about it all day! Just change your way of doing things. Find out what is really satisfying and delicious, and build on that.

Again, best of luck on your journey

Canned tuna is expensive, too. Price it out. Half the can is nothing but water.

Cut down on the amount of mayo based tartar sauce to save calories or try plain yogurt instead of the mayo. Just stir together a spoon of yogurt with a bit of dill pickle (0 calories), a wee bit of dehydrated onion, a drop of lemon juice and salt and pepper.

Watch out for those foods that are labeled low or non-fat. Too many times they have additives you don’t want anywhere near your body.
