recipe request

Who can tell me how to cook fish---simply (very simply) (I'm simple about this stuff)? And how/where to buy it and how to pick it out (is it true that as long as it doesn't smell it's okay?)?

being vegan and all, I may not have the best advice about fish, so you can take it or leave it. :)
But, for the most part, I hear it is true that if fish smells don't buy it. It's usually best to buy it before Wednesday too, I hear, as that is when it will be freshest.
For simple cooking, it depends on the fish. Tuna steak can be cooked just like a regular steak (5-7 minutes on each side on the grill for medium). If you are breading and frying a piece of fish (whitefish, cod, pickerel, smelt, catfish are all good this way), you can cook it similarly to any other meat that you would bread and fry-only slightly less aggressively if that makes sense.
That's all I got for fish, fflo. Hope it helps.

Thanks, C! Especially nice for a vegan to be my enabler . . .

glad to accommodate! I love to enable people, especially since I have so few vices myself these days {sigh}...
