I know fish is high in Protein and great for you. Pre-surgery (I'm 5 days out) I hated fish. But I want to try it. What are some mild ones that are ok to eat early on?

halibut and flounder are good too. I usually prefer stronger-tasting fish like mackerel and swordfish but I am always tempted by halibut when I see it on a menu!

Salmon IF you cut the skin off AND the dark brown streak it has down the middle.

Tilapia, swai, porgies and salmon are great mild tasting fish, although salmon is very meaty.

Mahi, salmon, sword fish, bass are my favorite and I didn't really eat fish until I was like 22. Also I eat it usually when dining out because I just can't cook good fish....

I really like haddock and cod. I grew up on the Midwest so wasn't a big fish eater till I moved to the east coast.

Be careful with swordfish if you are a woman of childbearing age, it can cause birth defects. I love talipia and swai they are both mild and easy to cook varying ways.

I don't really care for fish that much, but I can do Salmon. It tends to be meatier and when cooked right does taste really good. I don't eat the skin through! yuck

If you have a trader joes near you, go try their mahi mahi burgers (in the frozen section) - delish!
