Fresh water/salt water fish

[crappieperchhunter]

I think salt water fish tastes better....but I never have it at home. At home I eat what I catch. It provides me with an excuse to get out and enjoy the outdoors and the chance to get a feed of fish. If I lived near the ocean I know I would eat alot less fresh water fish, cause I would have the chance to fish salt water species.

I had a bunch of them on my arctic canoe trip. Tasted great. In all fairness They were about as fresh as you could get and they were our only fresh meat for 5 weeks. My fear is that if I ever have grayling again it won't taste as good as I remember.

 

As to the original post, I like them both. In general I like the light flavoured fish like walleye, perch, sea bass, halibut etc. more than the "meatier" fish.

Doesn't mean I don't like smoked salmon, a small laker fried in the pan next to my campsite, or a deep blue piece of tuna that has just grazed the grill.

I don't EVER buy freshwater fish, simply because of how it is caught and who is allowed to catch and sell it.

The pure satisfaction is in cooking the catch. I'm not down in the maritimes so I just have to be satisfied with what's available here til I'm down East again. Once I'm there I'll eat fish every day. ( the wife hates me )

If I go south I eat loads of cat and crawdads. It's whatever the catch of choice is.

Yep, don't like it.

Some people do but I just don't like it.

Gotta say I don't like salmon either.
