Hey all I know we got some people who know to cook and some people who are into finish, well I just figured out how to cook the fish however it's very bland seeing as I only see it with a light garlic power and then a touch of lemon juice.

So basically what I'm asking is if you have any recipes for fish that are right around 250-300 calories per serving. I get Cod, Tilapia and Salmon filets for cheaper (due to a friend's discout) so mostly I'm looking for recipes involving those.

Also I'm using a very light amount of vegetable oil as the oil to saute it in a pan but I'm curious to know if there's any healthier alternatives to that.

Extra) In addition to fish I'm trying to figure out how to cook an eggwhite omelette and I just can't get it down so any tips in that will be mucho appreciated!

What exactly are your troubles with the egg white omelet?
Getting the yolk out of the egg to only leave the eggwhite remaining (not trying to by the prepared egg white stuff) and then getting it to cook properly not sure what it is supposed to look like because the only time I had it was like 5 years ago at Graduation brunch for High School haha.

First buy this for $3.. Click here

Second... cook them the same way you would normally cook an egg... they are just a little lighter because of, of course, the lack of yolk.. if you know how to properly cook eggs you will have zero problems.

I know how to cook them pretty well I mean they are eggs; nearly impossible to fuck up haha.
Probably have a bit more trouble with knowing when to flip it.. would the best strategy be like taking the spatula and running it around the edges and lifting up slightly to see if it breaks apart/is cooked enough to flip.

a waterbottle works at least as effectively, and is also great for egg storage.

Mostly thyme lemons and generic salt/pepper for anything seafood-wise is best case. Get anything/everything fresh and cool until it is the color you want. Don't buy tilapia from overseas, shrimp isnt as good for you as you think, and frozen pollock filets or cod are really a lot more affordable frozen and that out very quality.

I say this having worked for a compuoy that had fresh flight fish daily for 2 years. From alaska/boston/the gulf to your table in less than 36 hours.

Yep... if heat is distributed evenly in the pan you should be able to check the outer edges.. if they are stable/cooked enough then the rest of the egg should be as well.

What kind of omelette are you planning on making? This is making me hungry now. lol

when you cook an egg the easiest way is pan until you want to flip, then 5-10 mins in the oven at 350, and steaming (put ice cubes when cooking on the stove) is a really affordable way to let the food speak for itself. Peanut or grape oil are expensive but you need a spoonful max for each meal

The tilapia is domestic in the US, but I mostly go with CoD and Tilapia, regardless this is some good information.
Thanks guys, I'll welcome any more fish meal recipes.

not all tilapia is, and some mislable pacakages due to a town in japan/korea/somewhere asian called usa.

The reason i say it is because it's where monster chicken comes from, and they do levels for cooking. So the chickens eat food scraps, poop through the gate, and the tilapia eat it to grow. Alaskan cod is amazing, and pollock from the USA is best case, not sure how it works for eurofags tbh, just saying we had a serious quality issue with pre-frozen tilapia.

It's the same deal with senhor's canadian salmon, they are artificially put in pink dye because (like alaskan salmon is seasonal) the reason for the color has something to do with spawning. Eating it is fine, but it's really cheap for a reason.

Alaskan Cod is my fish cut of choice, that's the one I get the best deal on, because my friend works at a fish market; yeah most of this stuff gets shipped over within the day from catching it in the morning of so I'm decently confident in the quality, it is a pretty high end fish market too :) I'll definitely look out for what you're telling me too though because I have purchased a few pre-packaged frozen cuts so I would like to be aware of that.

Will do man, I hired a nutrition cook for a few two hour sessions starting this past Tuesday until two weeks from there. I believe she's teaching me all sorts of meals that I can make.
