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

To me Salmon tastes too fishy it reminds me of Sword Fish which also can be strong especially the darker meat. But if fishy is what you like then Salmon is for you.

Sea Bass Report Abuse

Sea Bass has a great texture and taste. but Blackfish or Tautog as we call it in Rhode Island is the best.

Red Snapper Report Abuse
Great tasting fish!
66 points - added 2 years ago by BrendaKaye - 1 comment

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.

Trout Report Abuse
58 points - added 1 year ago by guest - 2 comments
Comments:
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.

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

Comments:
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.

Sea Bass cheeks are even better and sweeter.

The ABSOLUTE BEST. the only reason this is listed so low is because not many people have had the privilege to taste it.

Perch Report Abuse
46 points - added 2 years ago by BrendaKaye - 1 comment
Comments:
Another bad choice. Just because it is readily available it does not mean it is a fine tasting fish. No fine dining serves perch, you will find catfish and carp or even tilapia before you will find perch.

Orange Roughy Report Abuse
If cooked the right way, this is a light and filling fish - great light taste.
32 points - added 2 years ago by BrendaKaye - 1 comment
Comments:
Light, mild, and inoffensive even to those who usually complain about 'fishiness', very good when seared with a light pepper crust. Sadly extremely threatened by overfishing.

Swordfish Report Abuse
28 points - added 2 years ago by BrendaKaye - 1 comment
Comments:
Should be higher on this list. Blackened, it offers a clean taste that is rich in flavor if not over seasoned. The fish itself needs little but mild butter and grilled to a wonderful brown/black color. Magnificent taste. One of my favorites all time.

snook Report Abuse
its great
22 points - added 2 years ago by guest - 1 comment
Comments:
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

Mackerel Report Abuse
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.

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.

Tilapia Report Abuse
YUMMY
19 points - added 2 years ago by guest - 4 comments
Comments:
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.
