I rarely have fried fish. I get fresh caught here often from
friends that just love to go fishing. Most that I'm given, I'll
fillet then broil with mayo, minced onions, and squeeze of lemon
juice. Note: that mayo is very minimal and probably wouldn't even
be missed if skipped. Just a tsp of mayo melts on raw fish fillet
to make a very thin transparent layer.

I like fried fish too, just rarely go that direction. Beer
battered or tempura battered and both good eats.

We tried shark once. It was cubed and battered and fried like
chicken nuggets. Good.

Probably my best fish dinner was....fresh tuna steak (don't know
which kind). My daughter went out on a boat that morning way
offshore in the ocean. They caught a few large tunas. She stopped
by later that afternoon with 3 thick tuna steaks. I cooked on
fresh and froze the other two.

Basically cooked it just like you would cook a ribeye steak. Same
method, same seasoning, cooked to almost medium-rare. We were
told that by a local chef. Fantastic food. You would never
believe that's the same thing that comes in a 5oz can to make
tuna sandwiches.
