Fish are probably the best choice, especially Salmon and Tuna because of their "good" fats but people generally baste fish in butter or fry them in oil.

My real question on this thread is ...do you or DID you like pork chops with cream gravy. Was it part of your diet? Had you ever eaten it? Is it yum or none?
I eat pork chops grilled and never with gravy. Fish grilled or baked never fried. When I make Italian gravy I bake the sausage first to eliminate a lot of the fat. I never fry anything.

My favorite Birthday Cakes came from a bakery in Tenafly NJ. It was a standing doll wearing a huge dress made out of cake and frosting.
I have never had any interest in eating cream gravy. I Googled images of cream gravy and it does not look very appetizing to me.

Never? Creamed peas? Corn custard? Creamed carrots? No white sauce in any food you enjoy at all, in the past???

I never ate cream sauce growing up. It was never served by my Mother or Grandmother. As a kid I liked meat, potatoes, chocolate, cookies, pizza and cake. Some fruit and only raw vegetables. I have never heard of corn custard.

The problem with pork chops is that nowadays they are practially fat free, hence tough and tasteless. Didn’t used to be

We never had creamed anything when I was growing up. I remember occasionally making Birdseye frozen creamed spinach as a newlywed. But we never made cream gravy. My DIL made biscuits & gravy for us in Australia, and I liked it.

Eschew means to avoid. As in eschew obfuscation.

So agree with you. They have ruined pork chops, they are tasteless chunks of fiber. They used to be sweet and juicy. Who made the decision to breed out the fat in pigs?

As for creamed anything ............ not for us.

One of our favorite things. We find porkchops that are full of taste. The trick is to fry them quickly, being sure that no pink remains. (Trichasomething) Over cooking them at high heat makes them tough.

Here is something that we eat occasionally that tastes very nice. (Notice I didn't say yummy? GPSMA?) Sautee a pound of hamburger and half a minced onion until done, no red, add a heaping tablespoon of flour and brown, then add about a half a cup of milk (maybe more) and salt and lots of pepper. Serve over toast or biscuits with a vegetable and a salad. Comfort food. Anybody else like it?
