Best Fish For The Table

[FirstnameLastname]

First for fresh then your favorite saltwater fish for the table. I enjoy catfish and for saltwater haddock. I do prefer shellfish and squid better than fiendish though.

[paleus]

Crappie and Salmon.

[crazyjoeclemens]

Walleye and salmon for me

[PondHopper96]

Gar!

[SirSnookalot]

I don't eat fried fish too often anymore, both from a health standpoint and I prefer tasting the fish, not the oil and breading.  For the most part it's grilled, smoked, baked or broiled.

Freshwater:  walleye, whitefish and trout.

Saltwater:    Cod, smoked sable, salmon, swordfish, dolphin, grouper, barracuda.

Salmon is probably my favorite fish with tilapia close...

I love bass and speckled perch too....

EDIT: I almost forgot, I eat canned tuna almost everyday so that's pretty good too!

Fresh:  Crappie, Walleye and Yellow Perch

Salt: Dorado

I don't eat freshwater fish much anymore, but I have eaten quite a variety in many years of fishing. Yellow perch is probably on par with most white fish that a lot of people eat from the ocean (flounder, cod, etc.). Crappie & bluegill are about equal as well. However, I enjoy eating pike more than any of the freshwater species. I like walleye too, but it's not a fish you can normally make a regular diet of and still enjoy.

 

As far as ocean fish goes, I truly enjoy swordfish steaks. Unfortunately, due to cost, I rarely indulge anymore. On the other end of the spectrum I abhor bluefish!

Walleye are the only freshwater fish I ever eat anymore. 

 

Love some seared ahi steaks though.

[Kevin22]

Walleye, sauger, crappie, bluegill, even some bass. I'm not picky. They all taste good when prepared correctly.. just whatever's in my freezer at the time.

 

Saltwater has to be grilled mako shark, but we can't get it anymore.

Are sauger good to eat? I have caught huge numbers in the Ohio river, just never thought about eating anything out of that river...

I might also add I love flounder, and blackened rainbow trout as well, I tryed bluefish once, yea gross,

Sauger are as good as Walleye, It is sub species of Walleye, a Walleye and Sauger hybrid is a Saugeye and excellent as well, I catch all three species and can tell no difference at the table. to me it is the same meat. I like Yellow Perch Walleye and Bluegill in that order, I have it many different ways from soup to the grill and everything in between, fried, baked, by itself and in casseroles,  for saltwater Salmon grilled or smoked.

Just like a walleye.

I should note I have never even caught a walleye let alone ate one! I have caught and ate (enjoyed) a lot of different fishes... I do believe I will try sauger, they must be quite good, the ones I typically catch are 18 to 22" is there a good fillet on this size?

[Choporoz]

Walleye

 

Red Snapper

Freshwater - I love fried crappie.

Saltwater - nothing beats grilled salmon.

That is  P E R F E C T !!!! They don't get any better size for the table, I like em over 24"  for the grill, but for frying and baking those are what you want and every bit as good as Walleye!!!

[blongfishing]

Striper and Crappie and salmon for saltwater

[Snakehead Whisperer]

I'm with A-Jay... nothing beats good tuna sashimi (or any fish served that style, for that matter.)

 

Gonna go with walleye, yellow perch, northern snakehead and rainbow trout for freshwater.

 

For saltwater I'd say Alaskan halibut, and ling cod.

 

My absolute favorite cut of fish to eat is grilled coho salmon jaw, hands down.

18-22" is a throw-back. Those are breeders, way too big to eat. Eat the 13-16" fish. a 22" sauger is a big fish aka angling award in most states. A trophy. But I suspect both you and capt bob are talking about saugeye which get much bigger.

Well, I agree w/Choporoz and the red snapper.  To me it is the best overall eating fish there is.  It has a firm enough texture, but is still flaky and when grilled w/the skin on it gets all crispy and just plain delicious.  Aside from trout, most freshwater fish taste about the same to me...nothing special but edible if fried right.
