the best way to eat fish is to give it to somebody who likes it--Which leaves me out.  Or fish-and-chips with loads of tartar sauce.

LOL. I can live on Norway salmon all my life. but it is extremely expensive here lately. We eat a lot of different kinds of fish. Also lakerda! (Salt cooked fish. Done by different kind of ones.) GODS! As I've been following a regular diet, I don't even think about the stuff. Sigh. It's like crack cocain, ffs.

We have a specific kind of restaurant you can eat all that octopus, calamari, every kind of fish dish [and meze with rakı], but not like Europeans cuisine. It's just amazing, but well, prices are insane.

Same.  I like to get those King Oscar sardines as a tasty treat even though they're a bit pricey.  I could forgo other meat if I could still eat fish and eggs.  Just go full mediterranean diet.

I cooked some salmon for Christmas (no turkey for me!  Je n'aime pas!) and my brother complained, saying that the salmon smelled fishy.  Call me crazy, but fish is supposed to smell a little fishy, hence the name.  I mean, if beef didn't smell beefy, that'd be a problem!

He mildly dislikes fish (chicken all day, every day) so his impression was more than a little sus and definitely an outlier.  The fish was pretty fresh and tasty, so it's not like it was on the verge of being rotten or anything.  I think I can safely chalk that one up to picky eater tendencies rather than an objective problem with the food.

Well, I don't use microwave, I've never had one. I hate that thing. Hence the "without the nuking part" in my post.

I just mean fish can be eaten raw, it is pretty delicious, and it's eaten by tons of people every day around the globe. So, no. there aren't just 4 ways to eat fish. It's also smoked, cooked on salt...etc.   

Okay, you got me there, but the microwave part was the faux pas part of Stephen King's post.  No one has a problem with the olive oil and lemon part.

Oh yeah, agreed...It sounds yuck.

Arguably more than the average Japanese person.

I really, really should like fish.  My grandmother and grandfather loved fish; both were directly from Sweden and grew up eating fish.  My grandfather's idea of a snack was to pop open a jar of pickled herring and chowing down.  And my mother could not get enough salmon; I did not fight her for any.  I put fish into the liver-and-onions category, which is never.

We had a microwave fish fiasco at work a few years ago. At the time we worked in an open office with cubicles and the microwave was few feet from everyone's desks. A coworker, who is African-American, had a habit of heating fish head soup for lunch, which apparently smells bad  (I work nights and have never experienced fish head soup). A coworker put an anonymous note on the microwave asking to be courteous and not microwave odoriferous items, and everyone on day shift knew this note was prompted by the fish head soup. The soup connoisseur took offense and went to HR claiming she was being discriminated against due to her African heritage. I heard about the situation because HR came to our staff meeting to lecture us on office etiquette and chastise us for eating at our desks. The irony was the coworker who posted the note had immigrated to the US from Nigeria four years earlier.

We used specialized, expensive and sophisticated thermal chambers to test our electronic designs. One engineer decided to heat up some smoked fish in the chamber. Fast forward eight years later...I swear I could still smell smoked fish every time I opened up that chamber.

LOL. I thought of a certain kind of pilav made here with fish and wondered if you would like it.

Onion, too? Aw. *Hugs. We infamously eat onion like mad here. It's in the basic of home made daily food.

You don't need to like anything, sweetie. You can provide your body's needs with different means today.

Love onions, just not with liver---or fish. :)  Of course I don't have to eat any particular thing.  If I had my wish come true, I'd much rather like something than not.  But no matter how I try, fish (and liver and ochra) my body does not tolerate.  So, I substitute.

Same.  Part of the holy trinity of food. Good source of antioxidants and sulfur.  Good way to add flavor without adding salt or sugar.  Perfect compliment to any meat, and not bad with most veggies.  And I'd swear it helps make meat dishes easier on the digestive system.

Depends on the digestive system. My mom and several of her siblings are very sensitive to onions. Even a little bit of onion can cause them some serious digestive issues. I didn't get that gene, and I will happily pile sauteed onions and peppers on a brat, or put a few rings of raw onion on a burger, I often find the taste of onion to be overpowering in many dishes. Most of the time when I'm cooking and the recipe calls for onion I will cut the amount of onion called for in half or even a quarter so I can taste the other ingredients.

The last fish I ate was just finishing eating me. (c. 1972, somewhere in Southeast Asia.) The docs told me it was a good way to debride a wound in that situation. I responded with a comment about auto-cannibalism by proxy. One nurse barfed.
