Toss-up for me.
Fresh walleye or fresh lake perch.  The walleye could be grilled or battered and deep fried, the perch should be battered and deep fried.

  LMB is more of a sportfish than anything else.  Plenty of other better and safer fish to eat, I wouldn't touch em.

Large Mouth Bass.

Firm sweet meat. No I don't always catch and release. I eat them.

Yep. Bass from good clean water are very tasty. I always get a from friends and family when I post pics of my fishing trip hauls on Facebook that include stringers full of trout and bass. Like the most common gamefish in America is endangered or something

They never seem to mind when I supply 50lbs of filets for our annual fish-fry family reunion though.

Is it walleye? No.
Is it tasty, common and easy to catch? Yes

If you're worried about it's safety, you probably shouldn't eat anything out of that water. It's no more of a hazard than any other predatory fish. A two year old LMB isn't any less safe than a two year old walleye, pike, trout or striper from the same water.

I've almost gotten into fights when people found out I wasn't going to release a legal bass. I have no problem releasing sub-legal fish but if it's legal it meets my frying pan, especially if caught out of cold(er) water. Mid summer, bathtub temperature water, I don't bother fishing.

Catfish and swai

Swai is catfish, just labeled with a different name to show it's not American catfish. The same fish is in the pet department under the name iridescent shark, and if you'd seen the water conditions it's raised in you wouldn't eat it.

I've tried it smoked and pickled, neither were worth a shit. We bought land with a 2 acre farm pond that was completely overrun with common carp. Nothing else was in there except shiners and we wanted to stock it and make a decent fishing hole. Started bowfishing, using tannerite, and shocking to kill everything so with the surplus of fresh carp I decided to look up some old time Appalachian recipes for suckerfish.

The smoked carp tasted exactly like cat food smells. The pickled was edible, but nothing close to tasty. Asians seem to love steamed carp, but they also love bird nests and elk cock so their tastebuds aren't to be trusted.

On the other hand, river suckers are very good eating. I wouldn't have believed it but a friend from Missouri brought some on a hunting trip. It's really bony so the meat is scored into something resembling curly fries then fried with onions and taters. Tastes very similar to yellow perch. I wish we had them in my area, I'd stop chasing the tiny pockets of perch we have near me.

Crispy whole flounder is the only fish I want to eat at a restaurant,and the place I used to get it closed down.
Scored on both sides,seasoned and dredged in flour then fried.
Should cover the entire plate.

Usually the same guys that set the hook on every single bite like they're expecting a goliath grouper to hit their Roostertail on Lake Lanier. They also like to adjust their drag to the weight of the fish instead of the strength of their line to make that 14" bass seem like it's really giving them a good fight

They aren't land locked in most of VA, they are wild and spend part of the time in the ocean and part of the time in the rivers. People catch and keep them in VA.

They are stocked in Anna and Gaston as well, as far as I know people keep and eat them there too.  

I thought landlocked striper fishing for keeps was a thing?  Do they catch and release simply to keep the population there for catch and release fishing?  "Important fishery" to me means "it tastes good and people want to eat them"

We keep them here in GA too. They really do a number on trout populations, to the point that a lot of baitshops sell 8-10" rainbows as bait for trolling stripers.

I do know that's true, that's why the one in the linked photo looks like it was in a bread slicer. I've also heard smaller ones taste better-that's why I haven't eaten one-most I catch are 10-35 pounds. Fun, but bigger than I want to cut up just to sample edibility.

Fish boils are actually a sub-set of cultures in WI so actually sort of infrequent.  

Mostly it's the Great Lake shore communities with tourist activity that does them. Lots of the fish is flown in anyway for those. Not enough shellfish around not to. It's quite a production.  But, you don't get those in Mosinee or Packwaukee because it takes a big restaurant and a big crowd to make it worthwhile.
