I don't think fish ever tastes better than it does cooked over a fire in a camp after spending the day roaming the tundra or woods hunting for moose and/or caribou.

There were some pretty tasty grayling enjoyed back on the Tyone River. The second night the grayling often shared the menu with fresh caribou backstrap.

On a moose hunting trip on King Mountain the hunger was filled at night with fresh fried dolly varden from the stream served with fried potatoes.

I have always said that if they genetically engineer a Maine Lobster to rise to my dry fly I would have to rethink catch and release!!!

Not necessarily in order of preference.

Fresh Lake Whitefish from the Great Lakes area;
Native Brook, Rainbow, Cutthrout, or wild Brown Trout not over 9 inches in length;
Crappie.

Unless you happen to live in the area where fresh Lake Whitefish is available, your lack of appreciation for this epicurean delight can be forgiven. A fillet, lightly sautéed and served with fresh spinach (steamed with garlic in a covered fry pan) and boiled new potatoes, accompanied...

Brookies are tough to beat.

But Maine white perch beat them.

Sleeper species- chain pickerel. As long as you skin them, instead of just scaling them. Don't bother with fillets. Cut the flesh off the bones (considerable) into strips, and cook them like fritters.

My father had several very important lessons to teach me:

Never cross more than five bodies of water without wetting a line.

If you're too busy for fishing, you're too busy.

Never marry the daughter if you couldn't marry the mother. (I ignored that piece of advice, but only once.)

Never eat a fish more than five minutes away from the stream you caught it in.

Brookies with eggs by the side of the stream is how we started many...

Haddock.
Lake trout fillets fried up in bear fat along with potatoes and onions on the bank of a Labrador river is really excellent, as well.
Big disappointment: walleye; after hearing so much about it over the years, I ordered it in a restaurant in Fon du Lac. Maybe it wasn't fresh, but it certainly wasn't very good.

First Place: Tie smallmouth bass filets or white perch, dipped in corn meal and fried in bacon grease on an island shore by a Maine Guide

Distant Second Place: Walleye

All manner of fish can be great tasting. Much depends of freshness, season and venue. Tuna, or just about any other fresh fish for that matter, prepared as sashimi at Tokyo's Tsukiji fish market before sunrise can be memorable, especially when accompanied by a cold sake in winter. Fresh anchovies deep fried and washed down with Turkish "raki" on the shores of Bosphorus while watching the sun set over the "wine dark sea" can leave an indelible impression. Fresh-caught...

I have to agree with a previous post..... very fresh wahoo is hard to beat and I generally don't like fish! No Captain releases Wahoo when legally taken.

All the warm water bluegill, perch, small bass. Redfish, Pampano, but you don't want to eat shark, you don't know who he has been eating.

Black fish or striped bass, either caught in cold water (late fall/early winter). Broiled.

Blowfish tails are really good too when caught in colder water (winter/early spring). Taste and texture of lobster; broiled and dipped in butter, with a few cold ones .

Now you did it....

Nothing like a smelt fry guys. Fried with sweet potato wedges. Only there hasnt been a good smelt run here in the great lakes for years. You could fry them in the deep fryer heads and all and heat like 450 of them with a cold beer, some fried wedges with chive sour cream and butter. I pray every season that the smelt run again, but they it seems are gone forever.

I keep hearing great things about the taste of American Shad but never had the pleasure of eating it. I live in Maryland and there is a prohibition on eating shad caught out of local waters feeding into the Chesepeake. Still, I hope to find some on the menu somewhere one of these days.

My "Best Tasting" Fish in no particular order are:

Striped Bass (Rock Fish)
Chilean Sea Bass (Though this is becoming less and less available)
Monkfish
Salmon
