Best tasting fish

[Red Bullets]

in order....
Willow smoked cold water whitefish & pike
open fire Chinook salmon, preferably within an hour of catching it.
open fire cold water Brookies within a few minutes of catching them.
Walleye and perch

[dfrobert]

Fresh Yellowfin Tuna, grilled rare steaks and tuna carpaccio.

Sword fish.

I like all fish a lot but those ones really stood out.

[Yaha Tinda]

North sea mackerel.

[The Spank]

Freshwater? Hard to beat Largemouth Bass, I prefer it over walleye!

Saltwater? My fave is fresh caught Pacific Ling Cod.

[Gary K]

pickerel cheeks, then pike for me.

and that is including saltwater! but mahi mahi/dorado/dolphin is a close third.

Mahi Mahi is also called Dolphin fish its very good eating

[buckman]

I have heard the protected Bull trout was tasty.Of course now it would have to be prepared one way only.

"Poached"!!!

I think you meant walleye. You don't find 'pickerel' out west here.

I know I used to call them pickerel too back when I was a kid but a friend of mine, who's a biologist who works mainly with fish straightened me out a couple decades back and I haven't called them that since.

Thanks for setting the record straight, was very confused as to what type of fish he was taking about

Me too. I had no idea.

[Salavee]

Make mine Sablefish (Black Cod) and Lingcod. I would trade three Salmon for one Sablefish any day.
Sablefish are sometimes, but not often, caught when targeting Halibut.
Awesome flavor and texture.

[PerchBuster]

Perch mainly with a small dash of Walleye! Very cautious now on Pacific Ocean Fukushima tainted fish & seafood, that scares the bajeebers out of me now though I miss it So! Just don't want to be eating any Strontium 90! Although it's been awhile, I agree with some earlier posts that a good fish fry of Crappie is also hard to beat out of good cold shield water.

[Mountain Guy]

Salt water - Chilean sea bass , sablefish , wahoo , triggerfish , hali , chinook.
Fresh - any cold water white flesh or cold water red flesh trout.

[does it ALL outdoors]

Halibut, Salmon, Walleye battered & fried. In that order

I was waiting for this one. Yes fresh crappie with a slightly spicy batter, still crave them every spring. Used to bing on them every spring back in Ontario.

[FlyTheory]

Has anyone eaten pikeminnow?

[Curly Bill]

I'd have to separate this into 3 categories because they're all so good I can't really pick a favourite.

Warm water: Perch

Colder water (trout): Bull trout

Salt water: Stripped Marlin done on a charcoal BBQ with some salt and Cajun seasoning

1-Dungeness crab cooked instantly out of the trap! I could eat them until I get dizzy
2-halibut-truly the chicken of the sea, you can make them taste like anything
3-rock cod- a truly 'delicate' fish, amazing./ling tie (Nigel caught the ling, only I have ever had)
4-coho
5-spring
6-walleye used to be my #1 until I went ocean fishing. Damn you Jamie!!!
7-perch- been forever since I had a good feed, have to try again sometime
8-pike
9-brookie
10-rainbow
11-lake trout

X2 but Id put Pacific spot prawn at #1 then swap salmon with halibut!!

How was it?

[ACM]

1 arctic char fresh from the ocean on king William island. we would drop the fish in the sink and our camp cook would prepare them amazing fish

2 fire blackened walleye on La Ronge cooked over open fire by my grandfather

3 Wollaston lake northern stripped of y bones and cooked in foil over open fire

honorable mention - this past summer at Tatuk Lake was Kokanee cooked by grandson over open fire. amazing
