Anyone got any easy fish recipes? I've been vegetarian for 7 years but I've decided to start eating fish. I'm a bit scared of cooking it though! Preferably low in fat, and I'm trying to cut down on cream/creme fraiche and cheese so I'd like to avoid those if poss, but any suggestions welcome!
Also any advice on choosing which fish, which is generally cheapest and how to be sure the fish is dolphin friendly and nicely kept? If that makes sense, I don't know much about fish!

One of my favourite fish recipes is to take small pieces of cod or unsmoked haddock (any reasonably meaty white fish), and layer up some tin foil with tomato, onion, fish, tomato, onion, then pour a little olive oil over, some lemon juice and seasoning, then make the tinfoil into a parcel and bake in the oven for about 30mins.
Salmon in the oven with lots of garlic, grated ginger, a little sweet chilli sauce and seasoning is pretty good - put it in a tin, rub all that onto it with a bit of olive oil, cover with foil and bake for about 25 mins.
Also, if you can find a recipe online (it's a bit of a pain to type out), kedgeree is really good - sort of spicy rice and fish. Like the uk's version of paella!

I guess maybe bbq... but I just use that term to describe flavors.
And my parents used to cook fish, they would coat it with some sort of mixture of flour, some nuts and stuff and bake it in the oven. I could find that if that sounds appealing at all.
Just let your imagination go wild. Dill, tomato, onion, fennel, lemon, pepper, basil, garlic all go really well with fish.
You could always make a paste of say finely chopped red pepper, garlic, tomato and lemon juice. Spread it on the top of the fish fillet. Bake like Sara's suggestion in foil, then when it's finished pop it under a hot grill for a couple of minutes so it goes crispy.
Marinade them in some lemon juice salt and pepper and then girddle them in a griddle pan, and you don't have to worry about under cooking it as lots of people prefer it rare, still pink in the middle.
Jamie Oliver has a really good fish pie recipe as well.
Oh I love fish sandwiches. With tarter sauce and cheese and lettuce
