Do you have experience cooking exotic or less-known fish varieties?

So, I've been experimenting with my cooking skills and wanted to step it up a notch. After mastering the usual cod, haddock, and salmon... I was wondering if any of you guys have ever ventured into cooking some of the more exotic or less-known types of fish? I'm talking about the likes of monkfish, orange roughy or even stuff like pufferfish! I know I'd probably need to be a bit more careful with that last one, but you get the idea. Any tips, methods, or recipes you'd like to share would be immensely appreciated. Let's hear your wildest fish stories!

Yeah, I've actually never tried my hand at cooking exotic fish. Kinda stuck to the basics so far and haven't branched out much. Curious to see what others might share here though.

Well, diving into less common waters, I once attempted a dish with barramundi and found it to be quite a delight. It has a sweet, mild flavor and a meaty texture. Easy to cook too - I just pan-fried it with some simple seasonings. Worth a shot if you're looking to expand your palate! Have you tried any unique seasoning or cooking techniques that brought out the best in these unusual fish types?

Give lionfish a try; it's invasive in some areas, so eating it is beneficial. Plus, it has a delicate flavor that works great in ceviche. Ever considered making a difference with your culinary choices?

Lionfish, huh? Now that's diving into some adventurous territory. While I get the whole 'eat 'em to beat 'em' angle, I'm kinda on the fence about the prep work—what with the venomous spines and all that jazz. I've heard the taste is worth the trouble, but I'm curious about how the catch and handling goes down. Does anyone have firsthand experience they can share? How do you even start with a fish like that without turning dinner into a risky business?

Sure, dealing with a fish like lionfish requires caution due to those spines. The key is to use proper gloves and snip the spines off before handling. You can usually ask your fishmonger to prep it for you. Once you\'ve got the fish safe to handle, the rest is a breeze. Ever thought about grilling it? The firm flesh holds up well and gets a nice smoky flavor.

Actually, I've tried grilling lionfish before and wasn't too impressed. It can dry out pretty quickly if you're not careful, and the flavor is too subtle to stand up to strong smoky notes. Maybe it's better suited for more delicate cooking methods?
