Tilapia or catfish fillets, definitely. It's mild tasting, flakey and tends
to take well to olive oil or butter and dried spices. Doesn't take long at
all to broil, pan-fry or grill and is very mild tasting.

Sole is wonderful but is delicate; hard to turn without falling apart. Very
nice taste, though.

Salmon and halibut are more 'heavy' tasting; oily and more "fishy" tasting.
A key to those are to soak the fillets in water for about 30 minutes with
lemon slices before you cook them to leach out the oil.
