I think that can be said about any kind of meat, My mom cooks a roast every few months, but she cooks it in very high heat and does not cover it, and with out fail the roast is always dry and over cooked and kind of flavorless.
Next time Daddy has money to go grocery shopping I am thinking we should pick up some tuna or some of the tilapa if I can find it!

The garbage they dole out at Red Lobster is not the way to eat healthy seafood. I applaud you for wanting to try, and good for you for trying something that you think you don't like. Living on the coast of Maine I eat fresh seafood at least three times a week, and halibut is a snow white, mild and firm textured fish that takes marvelously to just sauteing in a pan with some olive oil, garlic, salt and pepper and fresh dill if you like it. Right at the end if you want to throw in a splash of white wine and some capers, but you don't have to. It does add a nice sauce to pour over the fish though. The key thing with fish is don't overcook it, nothing ruins a nice piece of fish worse than overcooking it. Halibut is so yummy, mild and sweet. Another great fish for non fish lovers is haddock, very mild and white fleshed as well. I usually poach that, or stuff it and bake it in the oven. When you start doing things like deep fried heavy sauces etc. you are ruining the point of the health benefits of the fish. Lemon squeezed on fish gives it a nice aroma and taste as well.
Another one of my favorites is to take swordfish steaks, brush them with olive oil, and whatever herbs you like, or even brush a little bit of mustard on them, wrap them in tin foil pouches and throw them on the grill with some veggies. Easy, quick and little clean up. Start with some of these and if want actual detailed recipes email me I'll write them down, I have tons of fish recipes I love to cook and seafood is my favorite. Just keep trying, and cut back on the fried saucy stuff, I think you might be surprised. Oh, and I have a low fat crab cake recipe that is out of this world, and baked not fried with a lemon remoulade *kind of like a lighter lower fat tartar sauce. With a spinach salad, and a nice glass of wine, it is a really light and yummy dinner.
Oh and what ArcticMaestro said about salmon is absolutely true. That is a stronger flavored fish, I did not used to care for it ut my ex-husband loved it so I tried all kinds of ways and now I love it. They make a marinade called Very Very Teriyaki, that makes a really good sweetish glaze and gives the salmon a nice caramelized finish. It is sold right in the grocery store in the marinade section, if you see some try it. But really, don't go to Red Lobster for a good example of real and fresh seafood. It's like going to Mickey D's for good beef.

I happen to love Red Lobster, Course I do only get their captain morgans coconut fried jumbo shrimp and their endless cheddar bay biskets, so I can't really comment on other meals, but other people in my family have loved it too. It's the only reason I go frankly lol. I have a few places I go for one meal and one meal only though.

I would imagine that the salmon at Red Lobster is pretty nasty. Most of thier food is. It relativley unskilled people Frying or baking frozen portions of stuff. Go to a real restaurant. Salmon comes in a wide variety. I would imagine RL has South American farm raised salmon, which is just nasty. A fresh wild red or king Salmon, is the way to go.
