Have to admit, I haven't been big on doing fish as the kids tend to turn their noses up and say it tastes 'too fishy'.let alone the smell when cooking.
What types of fresh or frozen fish could I start with that's not 'too fishy'.

If it is fresh then it really shouldn't smell 'fishy'.

But if I did it from frozen, like bought supermarket frozen, then it should have been fresh!

Monk Fish is fantastic, very fleshy and doesn't fall apart. Also great for absorbing other flavours.

Exactly.Do you have any good fishmongers in your area!It would be helpful to make friends with him or her, find out when the fish is delivered and buy it when it is fresh.Non-oily species like snapper, monkfish and terakihi might be the best option.
Will your household eat smoked fish!

Cool.snapper, monkfish and terakihi!

You're a bit too far inland for a wharf shop, but lucky Nelsonians can buy it straight from the fisherfolk.
Sometimes a large supermarket will have a Special labelled 'weather and catch permitting', and because of the volume of sales, you have a good chance of getting it fresher.

Tinned salmon, I hate fish (except smoked) and I can tolerate tinned salmon. Or even salmon fillets, fairly bland - but more expensive than tinned.

for a budget mild flavoured fish consider Gurnard generally its a bit cheaper another cheapy would be Hoki also good. The other thing is keep the pieces small which generally and crumb well then fry in butter oil mix then the pieces are virtually finger food which kids love.
Another way to get the kids keen is to make those small crumbed fillets into burgers using small rolls and some tartare sauce with a little salad.
