You may have heard that seafood is extremely nutritious and is an important source of Omega 3 fatty acids. Regular consumption is linked to reduced risks of coronary heart disease, depression, and liver cancer. However, many people who want the benefits of eating seafood simply do not like the flavor of fish. If you are one of these, below are some excellent species to try. You may like the milder flavors.

3 Fish to Try If You Don't Like Seafood

1. Mahi Mahi

Mahi mahi, also known as the dolphinfish, is among the most popular types of seafood in the world. It has a light, sweet flavor and a medium firm texture. It is ideal for grilling because of its thickness, though it can be prepared deliciously in numerous ways. Despite its name—mahi mahi is Hawaiian for "very strong"—its flavor is very mild, and this is enhanced by marinating it in soy or citrus. 

2. Flounder

Flounder is another exceptional fish for those who do not enjoy seafood. The texture is very delicate, not at all fleshy, and its flavor is even milder than that of mahi mahi. 

However, it must be handled and cooked with care because of its delicate texture. Otherwise, the fillet might separate and start to crumble. It is delicious served over pasta and seasoned with lemon, and the mild flesh takes on the flavors of whatever it is cooked with. 

3. Grouper

Grouper is among the least "fishy"-tasting fish. Like the others on this list, it has a mild, sweet flavor. It has a relatively high oil content, which keeps it from drying out while cooking and gives it a velvety texture. This makes it easier and less problematic to prepare since you don't have to worry about overcooking. It is ideal for baking or pan-searing.
