Farmed fish can be superior to wild caught. It depends entirely on the fish.

Wild caught salmon, for example, is inferior unless it's line caught and processed the day of the catch.

This. Fish is something you buy, bring home, and cook for dinner that night. For starters try salmon, it's pretty hard to fuck up. Lots of salt, sear in pan until the skin releases and looks good to you and transfer to 400 degree oven until it flakes easily, finish with a little lemon and you're good to go.

This is true.

Altho, the salmon I have caught is mostly out of SF. Very ocean yucky taste. Soaked it in milk for an hour helped get rid of the nastiest, but no joke, farn raised (in my opinion) has a superior taste.

Wild fish:
>catch fish on net (99.999%+ of the time)
>fish probably dies in net before even reeled in
>dump fish into hold of scuzzy water and other dead fish
>cruise around for a few more days
>finally get to port and deliver fish
>fish is cleaned 1-2 days afterward
>by the time you get your "fresh" fish it's a week or two old and loaded with histamine

Farmed (outside Asia):
>fish raised in pens in clean ocean zones or large rivers with plenty of fresh flowing water
>fish taken from pen, killed, kept ice cold with pumpable ice technology
>cleaned and shipped same day it's killed

Good fish swims thrice: in water, in butter, and in wine. In other words make sure it's properly greased (if it's a slimmer fish) and acidified (white wine is great for that but lemon juice does the trick too).

Go easy on seasoning amounts - underseasoned fish is still decent, but overseasoned fish is blergh. Specially garlic, if using.
Basil, red pepper, black pepper are better in this regard.

Baking is the easiest method to prepare it, but if you got something like catfish it's fun to cut it into small fingers, coat it with seasoned flour, and deep-fry it.

I usually prepare pira caldo or pirão with shark and the likes. I can share recipes if you want, but basically, keep in mind those are extremely slim so you want to go on the greasier side. Risotto is also a good idea.

Depends on the fish. Pan fish taste good with the right breading and is deep fried. Salmon is good with the right seasoning and preferrably baked or grilled with a good sauce or flavorful juicy side to mix with. Big game is good grilled, even better when smoked. Use a cookbook to figure out what seasonings go well with whatever fish you are making.

Interesting little phrase invented before refrigeration or supply chain management.

Yes in the olden days, fish came on a cart and had to be boiled to get rid of the slime, buttered to replace the essence you just boiled away, and doused with wine to cover up the rotten stench. Are you a GPT-3 bot?
