I can’t stomach fish. I’ve tried many ways. What can I substitute instead of fish in most recipes?

If you can stomach shellfish, that might be an acceptable substitute (scallops, crawfish, lobster, etc.) If not, chicken breast will probably be the most versatile substitute.

This meal was incredible. The salsa is great alone!

The salsa was good, but the fish was blah. It needed something to jazz it up.

In addition to the salt & pepper, I add a pinch of cayenne and a squeeze of fresh lime juice over the fish before I grill/broil them. Yum.

I’m really really loving this recipes of yours! Today I tried this one for my lunch, but again had to adjust a little with the ingredients I had at home in the moment, in place of the similar ones of yours that I didn’t :( I did use the white fish: I cooked it in a frying pan with olive oil and the rest of your ingredients for the fish cooking (only that I used this already milled mix of cilantro with onion). Then for the salsa: I used pumpkin seeds instead of the macadamia nuts; in place of the avocado I used a (peeled, ‘seeded’) pear and kiwi (! :D). Great simple, light, easy, fast and tasty summery dish :)

Just a tip – my store was out of fresh fish so I figured frozen couldn’t be too bad. Bad call. If you can’t get fish fresh, don’t bother! It had no flavor at all.
This may not be news to some people, but I almost never cook fish so it was news to me!
