Which fish tastes best?

Pompano...

"Why Pompano? Pompano are one of the most delicious fish to eat (they fetch the highest market price of any saltwater fish from the commercial fish houses in the continental U.S.)" http://www.wmi.org/saltfish/saltboard/t37243.htm

Halibut and smoked nova salmon....otherwise not much of a fish eater. The late JC loved fried perch and when we were at Gates Lodge he had them every night, plus for lunch if we were out and about.

He got me eating those yellow perch, too. I had some when I was up there earlier this summer. I did cheat and get the grilled, IIRC.

Perch and fried catfish are my two favorites. Rainbows from Round Valley in NJ are very good as well. Nice pink flesh.

For freshwater it would be crappie and walleye

For salt fluke...

Yellow perch has no equal, especially from under the ice

My favorites so far (I haven't had some of those listed above):

Freshwater: Walleye
Saltwater: Fresh Ahi Tuna (Halibut is a VERY close second)
