I never understood it when people say they don't like fish because it tastes "fishy" 🙄 

What the hell do they want it to taste like?

I think what is meant is that fish should taste like fish smell ;ile after not being propely stored

You just didn't notice your halibut's taste, I ate that stuff most  Fridays for 12-15 years, it always tasted the same til I put lemon or vinegar on it, then it tasted like fish washed in acid. It may be that different folks have differing levels of taste and smell, but all the fish and animals I've ever seen cooked tasted pretty much like they smelled when alive unless the flesh had rotted. The smell and taste becomes fainter with preparation and cooking but it still has the same chemistry, that gives it the same taste/smell triggers. Fish sticks and luncheon meats being exceptions.  I will admit that I've never eaten much fried fish in the mid-south that tasted like anything but bread and grease with added "spices".  Most people in Mid America don't like meat or fish unless it is drowned in flavor destroying sauces or rubs. Squeamish maybe? I don't know, but I do know that you can't cook a chicken in any manner that won't leave it with  a wet feather smell/taste. The chemistry is there regardless of the sauce, it is what the flesh is made of.
