“I guess salmon. I think it’s because it’s more readily available at restaurants and it’s pretty good for you.”
“I typically don’t eat fish. I probably eat more whitefish than anything else because that’s what they put in fish sticks.”
“Tilapia. It tastes really good. I always get it when they serve it up on campus.”
“Trout. I assume that it’s more fresh because it can be caught locally and has less distance to travel. And I prefer its flavor to most other fish.”

All fish is very good when on any coast line or island where it is fresh and abundent.
Here, in my home state of Kansas, I will eat Salmon (even though it is from a fish farm), but in the midwest it is Mexican food or local barbeque ribs, ribeyes, and porterhouses!!

I prefer canned Kipper Snacks. They're way high in omega-3's. Break them up on a bed of salad green's, or just eat with some cheese and crackers. If I go out, Halibut. Or whatever kind they use when I order fish tacos at Panzon's or Tortas Jaliscos. And then again, it's hard to beat fried catfish, or some red snapper in bouillabase or Court bouillon. I think I'll open a can of sardines for lunch.

The Stupids rode into town 'bout one year ago, and decided to kill off the fine city of Lawrence, Kansas. More and more like a ghost town all the time. But we'll have us a nice new Wal Mart that comes complete with slave labor, cheap labor, the welfare state, and crap commie-made products at those fantastically slashed prices…providing they can pull their labor force out from under the rocks over there.

Maybe I fudged a bit on the question, Windlass. My answer has more to do with what I like and not so much what kind I eat most. But walleye is pretty tall eating..better than crappie. The more correct answer for me would be channel catfish..I sure catch a heck of lot more of them than walleye. but hey, it doesn't matter when you use lots of butter/dill/any mushroom..garlic instead of shallots…not like my local market has shallots everyday.

Well, it's something that sometimes tastes and smells like fish, but is better when it doesn't most of the time. I guess it depends on how well you clean them! Typically they are a pinkish meat variety. There are lots of different names for it. Sometimes called snapper, and sometimes fish tacos. Yummy. Don't let me in on the secret if you have some, because I'll eat yours too.

One of my husbands really got into the “blackened redfish” when that first got to the midwest.
Shortly afterwards, some Real Cajun chef was on TV saying, “if his momma ever blackened anything she threw it out!”.
I could no longer keep a straight face any time he ordered it a restaurants.

riverat (Joe Hyde) says…
How careless of me to miss this one. Sorry.
My favorite? Panfish. The little sweethearts are dropped into an ice chest immediately upon being unhooked. They are taken home, placed on a tail-clamp fillet board and scaled, then each side is carefully filleted resulting in two boneless pieces of meat that are placed immediately in ice water. Once all the fish are cleaned these fillets are quick-rinsed, placed in a zip-loc bag and concentrated lemon juice is poured in. The air is squeezed out of the bag, the bag zipped closed then placed in the freezer compartment. (Unless fried immediately.)
To cook, place the thawed, drained fillets in a zip-loc bag containing Louisiana New Orleans style fish fry (the kind with lemon added). Shake the bag to coat fillets. Fry in vegetable, peanut, canola or olive oil.
The greatest destroyer of fish flavor is heat — heat absorbed in the field. Too many fishermen will let their catch lie in the sun or otherwise get warm; the fish's flesh has spoiled by the time it arrives home and thus will never taste good. Properly protecting panfish (bluegill, crappie, red ears, green sunfish, etc.) takes planning, and cleaning small-bodied panfish involves more work than with larger fish. But the result is a platter of fish stick-sized fillets that have no bones and outstanding flavor.
They are worth the trouble.
