If you like salmon this is of course a great tasting fish. You either like salmon or you don't. Great for dips.

The taste of trout is the definition of Old World refinement and finesse but not only. America and Australia has long introduced and quickly learned the value of trout. Always get white meat trout before it turns into the steelhead form and becomes more of a salmon. Happily, brown and rainbow trout, the most common are also the tastiest.

Tautog or Blackfish is better than Sea Bass, we get both here in Newport for about 8-10 weeks each year but everyone wants the Tautog, we now have a big Asian community and they love it too.
This Fish is by a stretch the best. Unfortunalty it is quite expensive and many will not be able to afford to experiment and taste this wonderful fish that is only in season 8 weeks out of the year. When I am not eating Sea Bass, I enjoy Ahi Tuna & Wild Salmon
Sea Bass has a great texture and taste. but Blackfish or Tautog as we call it in Rhode Island is the best.

A great catch for casual rod and reel anglers-- scale it, clean it, and remove the head, then slit the sides with a knife and rub in salt and pepper into both the body cavity and skin. Pan fry in a shallow layer of oil or steam with ginger, soy sauce, garlic, and shallots. Meat flakes off in large chunks and is quite savory.

Nice full bodied fish, almost with the consistency of a steak - very hearty and tasty.

Now we're talking. From finest fish and chips to the very best steaks, the use of halibut in general is virtually limitless. And the taste, especially when fresh and not frozen is as good as it gets.
The ABSOLUTE BEST. the only reason this is listed so low is because not many people have had the privilege to taste it.

Salted and grilled. And never use white wine to kill fish flavor.
Most fish eaters think that they like fish. But really, they'll only eat mildly flavored fish drenched in white wine and oil to mask any flavor. there's nothing left, except the texture, which is why most say they like Sea Bass and snapper, because they have great texture.
For ultimate flavor of the fish, try fresh grilled mackerel or saury at a real Japanese or Korean restaurant.

This is the best fish to eat in a curry or fried with turmeric and masala (red chilli powder) and salt also to marinate before frying. Finger tasting good fish. Been eating this since I was a kid. Greatest fish ever to eat.
Just finished a couple fresh mackerel fillets. They were amazing which is why I googled this topic. It was a simple cook. Pan fried with olive oil, fillets were dusted with salt, pepper, and light garlic. Just a minute and a half on each side on medium heat.
Overpowering definatelly not a top fish. It has always been the 'fish for the masses'. Cheap taste and pungent. Must be marinated, oiled and aged in order to be truly palatable.

Snook is easily arguably the best tasting fish there is. TRY taking your filet and putting in a small paper lunch bag,,,,,but first dip and douce the bag in melted garlic butter and then seal it with toothpicks. when its done you tear open the paper bag and get the fresh aroma of buttered Snook. this method is caled Grouper Papillon

Flavor is OK. I like mild fish, but the texture leaves much to be desired when considering best fish.
The only reason this fish on the list is because it is so cheap to produce and is readily available. the texture is soft and the taste is bland. In that respect it is perhaps a blank canvas and works for the unsophisticated pallet. There are many mild white meat fish with superior flavor and texture. For my tastes, tilapia would be square in the very mediocre category.
This fish shouldn't even be on the list, it is disgusting, the Chinese farms feed them human waste and they taste like they lied in mud all their life. You have very bad taste if you think this fish belongs on any list of top tasting fish.
One of my presonal favorites you can cook it almost any way you want and it still great

They don't call it Lemonfish for nothing. Perhaps it's their steady diet of crab and squid that makes cobia so delicious.

An excellent fish for pan frying. Skin becomes crisp without being dry but the flesh remains tender and moist.

Blue fish is a great fish to catch and tastes delicious. It all depends on how u cook it though.

Invasive species in the Atlantic with poin dorsal spines. When filleted the meat is exquisite! Easily the best taste in the world... And by eating them you help the environment. Bon Apetit!
