What's your favorite fish? Red Snapper is probably my favorite, the real thing is expensive but the texture is perfect. It's hard to go wrong cooking snapper.

monkfish is probably my second favorite, the texture is really nice but i think snapper is a little better. it's also harder to find good monkfish where i live. the last time i had monkfish i made thai curry with it.

I actually haven't had a chance to have monkfish in a while. I usually would have to go out of my way to a place that specializes in seafood to find it. Every time I've had it it's been a real treat though.

Evidently it's the only fish in the Caribbean seas because that's practically all they sell down there and it's cheaper than dirt.

It is really good though. Can't remember exactly what the dish we had was called but it was really tasty and really spicy. Just remember that the English translation of it was something like "acid kissed".

yeah i have no idea why it's so expensive in the U.S., they are really plentiful and easy to catch in the gulf. i guess people realized how good they are for eating and that they could get away with charging ridiculous prices for it here.

You're probably thinking of escovitch, but it doesn't mean 'acid kissed,' really. At least, not in any language spoken in the Caribbean by any reasonably sizeable population there.

Salmon is pretty good as long as it's not that farm raised dyed and pumped with water stuff. Very good with bourbon peppercorn and some broccoli couscous.

I might get called a basic bitch but haddock is definitely one of the best fishes imo. Apparently, a lot of people who arent from the north east havent heard of it or had it before.

it's good however you want to cook it. i always like grilled fish but baked snapper is still delicious. i always use sea salt, butter, and either lemon or lime no matter how i cook it. garlic/parsley are good too, and i've tried walkerswood jerk seasoning on the grill but i think you can't go wrong going simple with just lemon and butter. snapper has a really good flavor and firm texture naturally and the lemon+butter goes really well with it, it's kinda like eating shellfish.

Walleye, but it's probably due to childhood memories.

There's nothing like being out on the lake in the dark of night, and sometimes hauling ass to shore when the lightning starts to strike near. The fish just tastes so much better when you get it just before or during a storm...

Maybe you fucking retards should stop eating fish. You know by 2050 88% of stocks will be overexploited at current rates of fishing, also plastic and toxin pollutants mean that fish are becoming hazardous to health.

I’m not gonna day it’s the tastiest because it’s not, but growing up along the Great Lakes yellow lake perch has enormous nostalgic value for me, and whenever it’s available to me I’ll pay whatever they’re asking to relive that.

Yup. Pickerel is also basically the same thing, even lake sunfish (ie pumpkinseed) are difficult to distinguish, although the last are a bit ‘fisher’ normally (although all of the above mentioned taste of ‘fish’ unlike some super mild whitefish).

The main difference is walley or pickerel tend to be caught by the handful, while yellow perch can often be caught by the hundred, so it encourages different preparation: perch are probably more commonly eaten at ‘frys’ where pretty much all you’re eating is one fillet after another after another after another, simply battered any fried.

AFAIK mostly they stock salmon/trout, which eat all the perch.

Salmon and trout aren't typically found in lakes though. Riverfish aside, they stock several stillwater fishes, and often because of jackasses.

To hell with perch though, I think of all the perch I've caught only two or three didn't have worms. They were delicious but fuck are they parasite-ridden.

I'm pretty sure there were some trout species in the inland NA lakes natively, but most trout/salmon are stocked (dunno if they now reproduce natively or not).

I'm vaguely aware of this because it's been an ongoing issue between the US and Canada: Canada still has a (tiny) commercial fishing fleet on the lakes and so oppose the US stocking the lakes in the interest of game fishers.

Probably not objectively the best, but I swear to god the most I've enjoyed fish is fresh rainbow trout that I just pulled outta the creek and threw on my cast iron while I was traveling and camping around the country. That and I also grew up fishing for largemouth bass as well, so they always bring back some serious nostalgia.

A little bit of butter, salt, and pepper sizzling in my cast iron skillet as the sun sets over the creek I'm camping along as the fire crackles happily... Fucking Christ I miss that. Ready for spring.
