Could be any fish that you love, or go fishing.

I always liked flatfishes, even with their high price tags. At one point I do have pan-seared/flash-fried dover soles and it tastes like God’s favorite gift.

Discuss about fishing, some other sorts of flatfishes like halibut, turbot, fluke, flounder and so on. Also, they look incredibly retarded, but they are good shit.

Cod.

I also really like sailfishes, salmon, char as well.
 
I love fish! Keeping an aquarium is harder than it looks.
Anyone have advice for how to get sushi ingredients if you don't live by the ocean? I have the tools to make sushi but I have zero idea where to start ingredients wise.

You can get most of the ingredients at a regular supermarket. (Depending on where you live) Rice, Seaweed, vegetable of preference, and raw fish. You could start with a simple recipe like this one: https://www.fifteenspatulas.com/homemade-sushi/ or https://www.allrecipes.com/recipe/24228/sushi-roll/ as a way to get started. If you cant find certain ingredients try to find an asian market in your area.
 
I’m on the same boat (har har) as @TokiBun — kept aquariums all throughout my childhood and early adulthood. I don’t have one now, but it’s on the “someday I’m going to get a huge bitching aquarium and do it right” to-do list. I always had the conundrum of loving fish but also loving to eat fish — do they conflict with each other? At first I thought so, but ignoring the herbivore algae munchers, fish eat other fish, so I’m just doing to them what they do to other fish (as god intended). So now, I have no problem eating a filet-o-fish or tuna sandwich in plain sight of an aquarium.

Admittedly, I’m more of a “fish as an ingredient in a larger dish” than eating/preparing a cut of salmon or what have you kind of guy (mostly because I’m afraid I’ll mess up cooking the cut). I REALLY want to try James May’s fish pie that beat Gordon Ramsey’s fish pie:

Yeah I tried to keep fish and it just isn't for me so I won't be attempting it again. Instead I read about them and like to talk about undersea life! Dry, land dwelling lizards like my leopard gecko are more my style.
 
Two weeks ago I had fried scaldfish and boy was it good. Never had fish that delicate in flavour before.
 
I once had a sizeable batch of Striped Bass. That defined my diet for a week or two, really clean and filling.
 
Been catching a lot of perch and smallmouth when me and my gal go fishing every week. Really nice. Been pairing the bass with a reduced white wine sauce. Saving the fish not eaten in by freezing it in vacuum sealed bags.
 
Mackerel is pretty great and the easiest thing to catch if they are around. They have alot of bones, but can be fileted without the bones (kind of lose alot of meat in my opinion). I just remove the bones after I cook it before I eat, it's pretty east once you've done it. Cook it on the grill (my charcoal Weber grill says 400f) on tin foil with butter, lemon juice and it's own grease for 8 minutes. With two minutes left poke holes in the foil to let all the grease drain. Delicious fish

Going to try for some walleye and perch this weekend.

The other week I did really well fishing for channel catfish in the morning, I let everything go back because I just didn't feel like cleaning fish that day. I regretted that decision when dinner time came around.
