Best Fish

[dun]

I've eaten most everything previously mentioned and until a few years ago I would have went with the fresh caught Alaskan halibut. Now, I gotta go with the rockfish. When cooked right it's one of those flavors you may never forget.

Yup, I tink it should be calssified as beef too.
We used to troll or mooch for salmon and when the tide started to change we would zip over to the rocky bluffy areas and fish for rockfish till the current got to be too much.

Has anybody ever ate cowfish, or boxfish?? My wife thinks there the best eating fish tha swims. They have a hard shell and when you clean them you end up with 4 little pieces of tenderloins. They don't bite hooks for the most part, but when I was lobster traping we caught them as a buycatch. How about fried crisp whole brook trout.

Growing up I ate enough salmon to put some of the runs on the endangered species list. I am very picky about what salmon I will eat anymore. I only eat fresh sockeye, coho out of saltwater, and kings (especially up river kings). Pinks, dogs, or silvers caught in the river I pass on. The top of my list of favorites is ling cod followed by sea bass. I like halibut but in the 20-50 pound ones. The real big ones make for nice pictures but not as good to eat.
What ever fish you eat it needs to be fresh and taken care of correctly. As in bled right away and chilled on ice.

Do you mean the classic gormet preperation of stuff it with hoseschyt, nail it to a hickey blank, bake for a couple hours then throw away the fish and eat the plank

Best fish around here to me, is by far crappie, and walleye. Go to the coast, I that red snapper is hard to beat.

 

[Crazy Farmgirl]

I know nobody will agree with me but I think flathead catfish is the best.

That is first in fresh water in my book.

ME TOO!! Followed closely by walleye and brook trout!

Bass are way ahead, for that matter so are carp.Try living on eating nothing but specs and refried baked potatos for a year!

Dang, CF! I wanna go camping with you!

:lol: Anytime Slick...
We love camping but one of my very strick rules is that the food has to be as good as we'd eat at home!
And field cooking, with the right equipment, is alot of fun!

Now that's a best eating fish list! I agree about the salmon, not a fan of chum or river salmon with even a little darkness to them. Forgot to mention ling cod, among the best eating out there. Okay time to find some good fish and chips with new England clam chowder!

I like that strong fish taste!

Hook, while I respect your choices . I prefer mullet especially that black part on the belly and red horse suckers with roe is a close second., We have a little place in south GA has catfish and mullet on the menu and I've never tried the catfish.

I tried a mullet dip once. Only once.
I didn't grow up eating fish. I think the first fish I ate I was 15.that was a small rainbow I caught out of a arizona mountain creek while campin with boy scouts. It was another 10 yrs I think before I ate fish again just because my dad never took us fishing and the nearest lake was 2 hrs away and over fished.
Anyway, I didn't grow up eating fish so it's an aquired taste.

Ok that fair. As a baby it was one of the first meats we ate and one of the first solid foods we fed our kids. We were resourceful (now days its called poor)and if we didn't catch it kill it or raise it we didn't eat it. I'm not that old but we were just country folks and went to town on Saturdays.
