If you don't rinse your fish before cooking the fish nothing bad will happen and in fact it's actually recommended to not rinse fish before cooking as rinsing the fish before cooking can spread bacteria.

Only remove the scales from the fish if needed before cooking but avoid rinsing the fish unless it's actually dirty.

The fish that has the least bones are halibut and tuna which has either a bone right in the middle and sometimes no bones.

Other fish that have the least bones are whitefish, perch, grouper fish, mahi mahi and swordfish which are virtually bone free.

The fish that tastes like steak is Swordfish which is a mighty meaty fish and when grilled it will feel like and taste like you're eating steak.

The fish that tastes like chicken are tilapia, arctic char, cod, haddock, flounder, sole and walleye.

These fish can be substituted into any chicken recipe.

Swordfish is also a great tasting fish that doesn't taste very fishy.

Swordfish is a mighty, meaty fish which you can eat it grilled and you'll almost feel like you're biting into a steak.

Even non-fish-eaters tend to enjoy a good cut of swordfish, whose taste is somewhat similar to tuna.

Tilapia was one of the most consumed fish in the United States because of its low price and relatively easy preparation.

It is also mild in taste, in fact it is a fish that tastes like chicken and has a texture like a chicken, which must be why they are often referred to as sea chicken.

Like other fish, tilapia is also a healthy source of protein.

Eating Tilapia fish also gives you vitamins and minerals like choline, niacin, vitamin B12, vitamin D, selenium, and phosphorus.

Tilapia fish are native only to Africa and many U.S. States consider them an invasive, or non-indigenous species.

Tilapia fish also have been introduced around the world into fresh and brackish waters, sometimes deliberately for the purpose of controlling aquatic plant growth.
