Question: how can fish taste nice?

Hey!

It depends on what kind of fish it is. Personally, I don’t eat fish anymore (I used to) because I am a veggie, but its a lot like mushrooms or brussel sprout: some like fish and some don’t.
Some fish like Sole are rather bland and don’t taste very fishy. Blue Cod can have a very strong but good taste. Other fish like eel, mackerel, sardines and anchovies taste rather fishy – they are also very fatty! I guess it has to do with what the different species of fish feed on, how fatty they are what sort of proteins their meat consists of.
Then there are also the different ways that fish is smoked or seasoned that can change how they taste!
