Any tips to start eating fish? (lemmy.world)

Weird question maybe, but I don't think I ever liked the taste of fish, except when I was young. I vaguely remember eating fish fingers and (I think) plaice. But then I stopped and never went back to it. I dislike the smell, I find salmon bland (although that may have been the salmon I tasted once). Are there any particular fish that would make the crossover from chicken to fish easier? Or any recipes that don't disguise the taste of the fish too much, but make it more palatable for somebody that isn't crazy about the taste? I see the health benefits and would love to just get stuck in, but there seems to be a block with the associated smell and I guess a one off bad one that put me off eating it. I picked up cod in the supermarket today, and then decided I should ask here first...😁 So hopefully I get a mixture of answers, but mostly some helpful. Thanks for reading.

Edit. Wow, wasn't expecting to see this many replies. I have already seen some great ideas that I'm definitely going to try. I have to go through them all.

FWIW, I've a relative who dislikes fish, but who often makes an exception for local fish & chips. Locally the preference is for haddock which is what's generally served, and what that relative gets.

The same relative is less fond of cod, so I guess the advice there, if any, is if you try cod and don't like it, try haddock. Or vice versa.
