Yessir. My fish experience until I was old was pretty much exactly as you describe

My grandparents had a farm in S. Illinois with ponds on it. Grandpa would feed the the catfish in the pond, and we would frequently spend a few hours on a Friday/Saturday afternoon catching fish for a fish fry. So catfish/walleye/perch until I was out of college, when I was introduced to sushi. Love salmon and ahi tuna now, but it's pretty infrequent that I get it. Previous Message Most of my family hates fish and seafood and I get it. In Gibson City you had your choice of fried catfish or MAYBE a fried walleye sandwich if you trusted the Catholics enough to eat with them on a Friday. My dad (who will be 80 this August) just started eating grilled Salmon in the last 10 or so years. But yea...land locked, logistically underserved, small midwestern towns aren't the place to develop a taste for seafood. Previous Message grilling options.

Previous Message Previous Message But horrible overstatement. Like the time we went to a friends house and she said she was making steak. She served tri-tip.

Yes, it is! And it's pretty good if prepared correctly.*

I had to look up tri-tip: "strongly associated with California"*

Seriously. Someone just invited me over and fed me?

They can feed my Swansons Salisbury Steak, and I would have no right to whine.
