I agree with Jeff in that the handling of the fish after catching them is very important. In the summer we try to get the fish on ice as quickly as possible to keep them from spoiling. Fish in the summer can spoil in an hour or less and cause an otherwise good fish to become unedible. The water the fish come from and what they have been eating is also very important. But if I had to choose my favorite pond fish it would have to be tilapia. They are absolutely wonderful! I just wish I could catch more of them.
