Where do y'all stand on Fish Curries?
me I'm very partial to a cod massala or Salmon Balti and my local curry house has just added various Trout options
I do accept that I have exceptionally good taste and a fine culinary appreciation but some of you may disagree

Grilled Stake and Garlic Butter would work well
Mind you I bet you got spoiled for sea food a few years back!! |
There was a wonderful place between St Peter Port and St Sampsons, called The Absolute End, specialist fish and seafood. I used to get there with clients 2-3x a week. They even personalised a starter for me, calamari fritti "vindaloo style", in hot butter, lots of garlic and a few chopped incendiary chillis. I had it every time! The dish existed after an episode at a different place ...
There was a seriously upmarket hotel / restaurant, La Frégate, which was just too serious to be comfortable (for me). On one occasion, everyone else decided to go with lobster, which I had never had in the state where you have to attack it. "How would you like it, Sir? " came the embarrassing question. I had no idea how to answer. I thought, quickly. Grilled? Roasted? Deep-fried in batter? I found my voice and confidently requested "vindaloo?". It didn't go down well. And I didn't get it. But later that week, we told the story to the Maitre d' at the aforementioned Absolute End, who was delighted to oblige... [Post edited 23 Jun 2020 20:42]

Who doesn't like a tikka style salmon fillet?
For a 'curry', assuming we're talking cooking in a sauce, you need something that wont fall to bits, monkfish being an obvious example.
Edit: another shout out for kedgeree too., although I tend to poach the fish in milk rather than bake it, but either/or is all good. [Post edited 23 Jun 2020 18:47]

What sort of question is that?
Although Keralan/Goan fish curries are a great shout, the very best must be from Thailand, no? I do agree with fishers though, in that I wouldn't get one from an Indian restaurant really. If it's not a big seller, don't order - quality questionable. |  |

The nicest fish I've ever eaten was black pomfret in Penang.
That's not something you see on a menu here every day, but I guess there's some nicer places in those city types set ups.
I've not spotted it on the fish and chip van's offerings anyway. | |

Standing on fish curry is a bad idea. You'll get messy feet, and an unwanted piquancy in the curry. |
Guess that would make it a Sole? |  |
