Favorite fish for eating?

[jwl]

I like 30 inch and under muskies from the cold water like in March, caught on roe from belly slit browns

[Zubris21]

In no particular order, Walleye, perch, pike. I've only had a sampling of a small whitefish and it was very good. In the new year I'll be trying some freshly caught (through the ice) brookies and rainbows and am expecting big things!

Perch is my favorite by far. Pike, pickerel, whitefish are also great. Trout and salmon as well but not nearly as much as the ones mentioned.

[DRIFTER_016]

BBQ'd Lake Trout

[bukee]

1. Perch, walters, whities, crappy..for a fish fry....actually any fresh white meat fish battered and fried.

 

2. Smoked anything from the salmanoid family......although I never keep these, so it's from buddies.

 

3. Sushi grade fish of just about anything, if you can find it.....tuna and salmon being the favourites.

 

PS..I haven't met a fresh shellfish with butter that isn't the bomb.

My favourite fish are specks and walleye done on the barby in foil with real butter salt and pepper and a twist of lemon. Can't beat that. Steve

Hawk

[forrest]

Well, it has to be fresh, small for the species and caught by myself or a friend.

 

Bass, perch pike, walleye, crappie. If I can eat them without too much fear of bones I do not discriminate. I love em all.

fried with butter or bread crumbs

 

sunfish are certainly on my list for 2009.

I love pretty much all fish and i have a really hard time mixing those 2 lists into just one. Comparing Crappie and Brookies for example are 2 very different fish in my books, they dont compare, so how can you choose one over the other? Easy....2 lists lol then they can BOTH be #1

[holdfast]

Carp, and its a great sports fish.

[douG]

I cook all the fish at this place, and I usually coat with flour and breadcrumbs and fry in butter/olive oil. Sometimes I will make a sauce with lemon and dill and cover with it after the turn, about 5 minutes before serving. Or, a dollop of mango curry sauce - great on salmon.

 

Mackerel fillets, fried crispy and served with a green tomato chow is fabulous, right near the top of my list.

[bigugli]

Any fish is great when served up in Gram's famous "Fishhead Soup". Of course Gram would always lecture me and remind me to bring home a pike for the soup.

 

As for table fare, panfish and pike.

[Twocoda]

halibut

cod

brown trout

sand bass

rainbow trout

salmon

walleye

perch
