Growing up as a lower class white kid in the USA, my main exposure to fish for the first 20 years of my life were cheap, frozen fish sticks.
Turns out good fish doesn’t taste “fishy” like old cheap gross frozen fish bits.
Maybe you’ve tried good, fresh fish and didn’t have my experience, I dunno. But I have had God-tier fish dishes that are in the same category as quality steak is to canned dog food.
I’ve tried a lot of different fish, from fresh to frozen, and never liked any of them. The main one I try every year is salmon, and I just never enjoy it.

It’s probably me being very picky.
I don’t like fishy tasting fish either. To me that means it’s old.
Cooked salmon is actually the fishiest of the restaurant style fishes. It’s always overcooked and the oils in it taste fishy.
Grilled mahi or a tuna steak is delicious.
Or if you can get a whole deep-fried sheepshead or redfish.
Blackened trout filets if you’re in the Appalachians.
None of those taste “fishy”, unless it’s old nasty shit.
