its hard to beat a bass filet thats been seasoned well (lemon juice, old bay, salt, rosemary, basil, etc), wrapped up in aluminum foil, and thrown on the grill till the meat was flakey. this is some of the best fish i've had. tastes just like striper.

[KYntucky Warmouth]

Walleye, especially the cheeks, blue and channel cat, crappie, and a nice 2-3lb bluegill

[BassnMan Mike]

Crappie, Perch, Bluegill and Channel Catfish

Farm raised catfish is great, but I love Shellcrackers and Crappie. The best eating fish for a mild not so fishy taste is Pompano, if you get it.

Crappie are much better eating than bass. Walleye are fine table fare, but not something most folks care to east on a regular diet. Hands down, the best eating freshwater fish going is the Northern Pike. And, popular opinion aside, it's not that difficult to remove the "Y" bones. You'll end up a lot of fine fillets and you'll be eager to dine on it weekly without tiring of the delicate flavor.

Not much better than fried Catfish.

[PondHunter]

Perch and Bluegill are tops with me.

Interesting question, my answer would be depends on who is cooking. Never had a really bad tasting fish, when someone who knew what they were doing was cooking it! Except for carp, no insult meant if anyone happens to appreciate carp that is.....

I would have to go with yellow perch.  I am, however, curious if anyone has ever compared Land locked FW Stripers to their SW counterparts.  I cant think of a better fish to eat than fresh caught Striped bass off the coast of Massachusetts....  How does the FW version taste?

[TruiteBR]

Tilapia!

[DeepStructure]

If it's just among the 4 fish originally listed, then walleye, but if I had my pick, lake trout hands down.

Way down south the only edible fish are the myan cichlids, and the tilapia, water quality permitting, we get some nasty waterways down here full of stagnant water, and high mercury levels also have to be considered. Peacock bass are great eating also but they are just to awsome for me to eat them.

Caught some peacocks last year near Ft. Lauderdale and tried one of them.  When I get back there I'll have to have some more.  It was incredible.  Like sweat chicken.  Very white meat, just an awesome taste.  Tilapia is, of course, amazing, but for your more northern waters, walleye and crappie make for a good meal.  Honestly, have never had bluegill, but I'm building a pond of my own right now, stocking plenty of bluegill, so will get the chance to try it.

The best I ever had was walleye, just a great flaky fish.  Second would have to be bluegill, deep fried these little babies are awesome, but you can also cook on a skillet just scaled and gutted and they are good too.  Never really been a fan of bass, but crappie are decent, not as good as bluegill but still good.

[Fishin Phil]

Walleye, especially the cheeks,

QFT, nothing better then those little bits.

Not much into freshwater fish, for eating.

Flathead catfish, and sometimes Channel cats, are really good, if prepared right. Crappie too. Oh, and Sturgeon.

I'm really more of a Saltwater fish eating kind of guy :-) Lots of good fish out there. Salmon, Halibut, Yellowfin Tuna (grilled) Mahi Mahi.....
