What type of fish is hard when roasted? Like chicken.
I tried salmon, sea bass and most other types are very soft and can be crushed with little force. Last time I bought some cheaper type of salmon, and it has fallen apart into little pieces in my saucer pan.
When I was in Sri Lanka on a vacation, on one evening they had some roasted fish cubes that was as hard as chicken meat. I am trying to find out what that might have been.
Give Halibut a try, if you can find it and be able to afford if you do, i find the fish very sturdy to deal with in cooking process..
Tuna steaks are also in the same category in cooking applications...
cobia, wahoo (aka ono), shark is tasty and very firm, mahi if grilled correctly, tuna steaks, swordfish, tautog (aka blackfish), not many freshwater fish are naturally as meaty as these but walleye properly grilled or fried is too tasty to pass up.
Sturgeon is very firm but hard to find. Ahi tuna, especially if it is cooked until "done" and not served lightly seared (red in the center) is firm and as others mentioned swordfish and shark are quite "meaty".
