Large Mouth Bass. Firm sweet meat. No I don't always catch and release. I eat them. EBR 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. LMB is more of a sportfish than anything else. Plenty of other better and safer fish to eat, I wouldn't touch em. 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 heard it's great-nobody eats it because everyone says it sucks. Very few people have actually tried it, or even know someone who's tried 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. |

Yellowtail and Wahoo. Bluefin/Yellowfin
All fresh. Nothing like eating it the day or day after you catch it. |

King Salmon, and Steelhead.
I can tear up a mess of Perch too. |

Big thick grouper filet, marinated in Italian dressing and grilled over charcoal like a steak.

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 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" |

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. |

Salmon.
Marinated in honey and mustard. Throw in oven at 400 degrees for 12 to 15 minutes. I have it at least twice per week. I never get sick of it. |

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. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted:

SILVERFISH!
Haha just kidding I don't eat those anymore. I think Tilapia if it's cooked, or tuna if it's sushi. I'll eat the hell out of some spicy tuna rolls. I see now that a lot of people in this thread look down on Tilapia. I'm not a fish connoisseur and I'm not a big fish eater anyway, and Tilapia is one of the only types of fish that I've tried (and successfully) cooked for myself. I like it because it seems pretty healthy and it's not real expensive, but again I'm hardly an expert on this. I wouldn't mind suggestions for replacements! |

walleye for frying with catfish a close second, halibut and salmon for broiling.

There are two categories: Salt Water Fish...........Fresh Water Fish. Everything within those categories.
