7. Mahi Mahi
Kirkland Wild Caught Mahi Mahi is a sturdy fish after thawing. It holds up after seasoning and placing it in the hot pan and retains its structure after cooking.
The boneless and skinless fish has a dense, flaky texture and a mild flavor that remains subtle. It comes in a 3-pound bag, and each serving offers 21 grams of protein.
6. Alaska Halibut
Kirkland Wild Caught Alaska Halibut comes hand-trimmed, boneless, and skinless. It's a flaky, dense white fish with a mild taste that may need bold seasonings.
While it's quite delicate out of the pan, the fish maintains its structure without falling apart. It comes in a 2-pound bag with a whopping 37 grams of protein.
5. Tilapia Loins
Kirkland Farm Raised Tilapia Loin is a boneless and skinless tilapia without antibiotics. It turns flaky and develops a nice crust after frying it in the pan.
This 3-pound bag has 23 grams of protein per serving; however, the fish can break off when it’s removed from the pan. Its mildly fishy taste may call for sauces or seasoning.
4. Sockeye Salmon
Kirkland Wild Caught Alaska Sockeye Salmon comes with skin, which can add good flavor and texture, but it also comes off easily after cooking if you don't want it.
It also has that classic umami buttery salmon taste, but the salmon cuts and sizes were random. It comes in a 3-pound bag, and each serving has 38 grams of protein.
3. Pacific Cod
Kirkland Wild Caught Alaska Pacific Cod is a mild white fish with a buttery texture. It's a delicate dish, and its pieces can flake off as you take it out of the pan.
It's also a tad watery, and you can see some water pooled onto the plate even after cooking. The fish comes in a 2-pound bag and is hand-trimmed, boneless, and skinless.
