So I recently tried tilapia and flounder and really liked both of them (cooked in the pan, seasoned with lemon pepper), and would like to incorporate fish into my diet.
What are some things I can eat with fish to make it a full meal, also what other seasonings that are good to use? And what are some other mild fish I can try?

Vegetables and carbohydrates are a good start. Try some swordfish, but grill it if you can.
>>8393838
shrimp and scallops, if frozen, can be economical. look to pasta to accompany it.
Eat it with plain rice. Sub it as chicken in stews.
>>8393838
Buy Old Bay seasoning, it's supposed to be used with seafood.
2nding the shrimp recommendation, shrimp is really good, versatile, and pretty inexpensive.

apart from all the grilled and crust-backed recipes don't forget you can make tasty fish soup or some stews. also look for pie recipes with fish.

Talapia is like a blank canvas since it has such a mild flavor, feel free to season as you want. There really is no wrong answer

Agreed. Tilapia has little flavor. It's like the tofu of fish...it becomes what you add to it and is fun to fuck around with.
Salmon is a mild yet distinct fish thats easy as fuck to cook. Just bake that shit in the oven nigger. Season the top and olive oil. Skin sticks and the fish comes right off.
Times and temps vary and size of fish but a one person portion in a gas oven 350 degrees for about 15 mins i'd say? Maybe 20? with some rice and you've got fueg dinner.

Black Cod or Sablefish is a fairly oily and meaty whitefish. It can be expensive, but its delicious and almost impossible to overcook.
8/10 would pan roast.

Old Bay is the only seasoning you'll ever need
>What are some things I can eat with fish to make it a full meal
Rice and vegetables. Make some soffritto (onion, celery, carrot) and toss that into whatever you're cooking. Pasta works well, too.
>what other seasonings
Old Bay is good with all seafood. Otherwise, salt, pepper, and lemon are the basics. And parsley. Lots of parsley.
>And what are some other mild fish I can try?
Cod, catfish, salmon.

Seconding this. Frozen shrimp, 2lb bags, go on sale near me for $13.50 each. Very little difference from fresh once cooked. Frozen squid as well.
OP, Laura Vitale just made a video you could try. Cod is a bit more expensive than Tilapia, but you can experiment.

For seasoning, I like to use lemon and butter on salmon, maybe some rosemary. I have heard good things about Old Bay but have never used it myself.
Eat it raw with a bit of salt

Cod is tasty and widely available.
