Favorite tasting fish?

[hanson]

I know somebody is going to say it so I'll get it out of the way- MUSKY!

Seriously now, my favorites are Red Lake Crappies!, sunfish, & walleyes. I don't eat northerns but I here they're very good. A lot of people swear that Eelpout are the best tasting fish that swim. I still haven't gotten up the nerve to try a pout yet!

[Dennis Steele]

Well if a guy has to put them in order.

1)Sunnies
2)catfish
3)walleye
4)pike(only baked in lemon butter,heavy on the lemon)

can't say I eat much elso on a regular basis.

[Treble Hook]

Walleyes are the best in my opinion since they are easy to clean and have alot of meat on them. Walleye cheeks are good too!

[kslipsinker]

Amen on the walleye cheeks! My wife loves walleye, and we have to share the cheeks every time.

[JP Z]

Crappies would have to be my favorite. Man those are good.

Of course Walleyes are tasty but nothing beats a good batch of crappies.

I also eat the occasional trout I get from the the put and take lakes around here. Generally try and grill them if I can or of course putting some nice rainbows in the smoker is always a good choice.

Any saltwater fish but the ones I like the best are fresh small bluefish or king mackerel. Striper is good as well. These fresh water fish do not have a lot of flavor (but I love catching them). If I need to pick one fish from this state I would take a small pike.

I have to go with yellow perch as my favorite eating fish, there are so many ways to prepare those tasty little filers

[Redlantern]

Brook Trout, Splake and Lake Trout for me.

frozen, the wife won you a Marcum, and she cooks for you??? Haha!

I will go with yellow bullheads, the best! These are by far my favorite tasting fish. I enjoy walleye, but they are honestly pretty bland compared to other fish in my opinion. Here's my list:

Yellow Bullhead
Crappie
Eelpout
Yellow Perch
Bluegill
Walleye

You guys are gonna think I'm nuts when I'm done, but here I go (I'm only including fish I actually fish for, not saltwater):

1. Trout
2. Catfish
3. Walleye
4. Bluegill
5. Crappie

Yes, I'll admit it if no one else will--I eat bass out of lakes where there are many small ones, and I think they're quite good. I also eat perch when they aren't full of grubs and bullheads and even freshwater drum. I wouldn't eat a northern or a smoked sucker to save my life, but I'd like to try eelpout once.

If you LIKE musky, you'll LOVE eelpout !!

'course loon and timberwolf are both pretty tasty too.

[hanson]

I knew the musky comment would be followed quickly with the timberwolf comment Got to add a little humor to something once in awhile.

[pathogen]

Fish taste different depending on size and the body of water they were taken from. But generally speaking, my opinion:

1. medium-sized perch
2. small-to-medium sized crappie
3. bluegill
4. small walleye

yum!

[Mark Christianson]

Perch
Number 1

[B. Amish]

I was wandering what everyone thinks is the best tasting fish, and what fish deserve more credit?

My choices for the best are:
1. Perch
2. Sunnies
3. Walleye
4. Crappies

Thanks,
B. Amish

[hanronson]

1.crappies 2.small(<20")walleyes 3.sunfish 4.catfish 5.perch. I have never tried eelpout but I heard that they taste just like cod (and poor mans lobster when dipped in butter?) Sound good. I'm hungry. Lets eat!

Coldwater perch (through the ice) might be my favorite...followed closely by walleye, crappie and northern. The walleye and northern, if they get too big, aren't as good. Walleye under 20", and northern in the 21"-24" range are awfully good.

Northern is probably the one I would say deserves more credit...other than the bones, northern rival most other fish as table fare.

[MG - Fishin']

I have to say my favorite is a nice 16-18" walleye pulled from the coldwater of LOTW. Have it in the pan the same day it was caught up there. Can't beat that in my book!

[coolbreeze]

10-4 on that MG.......walleye, sauger, perch,and northern, out of cold water and to the frying pan from LOTW gets my vote.

[wall eyell be]

hmmmm . . . anyone want to hazard a guess as to why eelpout taste "just like cod" ?

[Guest]

Breeze The Sauger's are yummy for sure. At lotw yrs ago on a trip, we ate them in the ice house as the guts breathed in the corner. But to me? after thinking about it,nothing beats my dad's (luv ya pop I miss ya!) Apple wood smoked Red horse in brown sugar and Worchestier brine.
