Actually, being so close to the Great Lakes we have a lot of options for fish. Probably not the more exotic stuff, but you can go to pretty much any bar around here and find either cod, perch, walleye, salmon, or whitefish. I'd eat fried fish all day every day. I understand your apprehension about eating other seafood. I wish I like shrimp, but I just can't get into it and crab/lobster is so expensive I try to avoid it. The fact that my wife doesn't like any of it makes it easier to not miss all of it. During lent my buddy and I try to hit several fish fries.
