Eat Chilean Sea Bass. It's not cheap at $24.99 per pound at Costco but it's really good. Wild salmon is also good. Avoid farmed salmon.
Lobster of fish - that would be lotte aka monkfish. Ugliest fish you ever saw but an absolutely delicious dream in a French style screw. Our fish market occasionally has it, and DH begs me to make it.
Monkfish is known as “the poor man’s lobster”.
Whoa …a French style screw. LOL.
Corrected it thanks!
I've had monkfish, CSB is better.
Twenty years ago, when Atkins diet was popular, I engaged the Atkins diet by only eating a refrigerated salad made from canned Tuna, mayonnaise and chopped sweet pickles. I love tuna, so it was easy to stick to this diet. The good news is that this Atkins diet method had me losing weight very quickly. The bad news . . .
An RN-friend of mine heard I had been eating only canned tuna for six consecutive months and talked me into having a blood test for mercury toxin. My tuna-only diet for six months resulted in my mercury level being five times higher than whatever the EPA-threshold was. Fast-forward to today: My wife only buys fish once a year, for Easter celebration.

I've had salmon but don't really like it. I can choke it down, but I'm not really interested in that.
What kind of salmon have you tried, how was it prepared, and what about it did you dislike?
If it tasted too fishy, it wasn't fresh. If it was too soft/mushy, it was farmed (or possibly caught too far up the river after it had exhausted itself and was about to die anyway). If it was too oily, it was most likely one of the oilier species. Oily taste is one reason I actually prefer silver salmon over King.
A friend of mine has a seafood party every summer and every time he overcooks the salmon and scallops. He makes a great toss salad and that's what I have.
OP, That's what I was wondering, how it was prepared.
Engineernerd, You forgot the most important problem with fish. People don't know how to cook it. I won't eat it out because many people overcook it or over season it.
