Walleye hands down best tasting fish in my humble opinion.

We don't have any of those critters down here in the south, but I've heard they were good, so I can't say

Had another thought on freezing the fish: this takes a little more time but it saves space in the freezer ,actually two ways
1 take fish filets and put on cookie sheet and freeze, while they are freezing get a large bowl with ice an water ready lots of ice
2 when filets are frozen dip in ice water and put back on sheet and freeze again when frozen dip once more and back in the freezer the filets are now coated with ice and won't freezer burn. Place as many as you need in freezer bag and you're done .
Take out only what you want for a meal
3 the last way is use a vacuum sealer but I have found that sometimes these bags get holes punched in them from moving frozen stuff around and then that filet or filets gets ruined

Wife is big fan of vacum sealers. I've seen her even seal clothes to reduce space. I think she has heavier bags specific for freezing.

Yeah they work good except when you get a hole in them and the rolls are kinda pricey if you got a lot of fish or game to put up.

Well it's about that time of year again . All the fish are trying to fatten up for the winter season ., fish will fatten up soon as the water cools down this fall. Soon will be the time to catch and eat some of the best eating fish of the year. It amazes me how a few weeks can make all the difference in the world.

I would have to say Walleye is pretty darn good! Up till this year believe or not I have never had BG. I have had them twice now out of my pond and man they are pretty darn good also! Then nice thing about a WE is you get a lot more meat but still them BG are good!
I like Cod, and Sea Bass isn't bad,

The only difference between a rut and a Grave is the depth. So get up get out of that rut and get moving!! Time to work!!

In 1984, when the World's Fair was in New Orleans, I ordered fish at the Filipino restaurant.
I have no idea as to the species of fish but do remember that it was served prepared with a sweet glaze.
I have never before or since had fish prepared in any manner that could even begin to approach that which was served at that amazing meal. Having had many meals during my relatively long life, I would name that meal as the most wonderful food that I have ever had.

Nothing beats hooking a big angus fish in a stock tank, then grilling up a thick ribeye, medium rare!
I'm not a fan of eating fish, but Bill Cody will fry me up some YP and WE fillet's that are mouth watering good!

Wow!!!
I bet that "Angus" fish take a big reel baited with hay or corn. How big is your bait well to hold such a critter? I am impressed.
I wish we could have some walleye down here... I've heard they are good.
Tuna, wahoo and mahi mahi, and of course the "rare" red snapper are hard to beat

Pat W Now now...only a ruffian would use organic bait when casting to a herd of Angus fish. A true sportsman fishes with artificial lures only. Myself, I prefer to "tie my own", with my most productive combination involving a 6/0 treble hook, and a ping pong ball airbrushed to look like a ripe persimmon. Deadly. Great fighters, but you better be on your game...even a small one will take you into the backing before you have time to blink.
"Forget pounds and ounces, I'm figuring displacement!"
If we accept that: MBG(+)FGSF(=)HBG(F1)
And we surmise that: BG(>)HBG(F1) while GSF(<)HBG(F1)
Would it hold true that: HBG(F1)(+)AM500(x)q.d.(=)1.5lbGRWT?
PB answer: It depends.

Anything close in taste to compare to Pompano? I had PACA in Ixtapa Mexico, it was very good, not as good as the other on the list.

Best eating fish thread and nobody mentioned Whitefish?
Alot of people north of the border will pass on walleye for whitefish. Caught a bunch this summer while fishing for Atlantic Salmon. The Salmon went back in the river, the Whitefish go in the cooler.

Hey Pat or any other salts, have ya ever eaten stingray? The locals around here tell me it's similar to scallops. Scallops are $16 a lb and ya can spear the stingrays.
Do nature a favor, spay/neuter your pets and any weird friends or relatives.

Ate a stingray once and it was tough as shoe leather... Must've done something wrong... Haven't tried it since....as far as spearing them remember they spear back ....

Bobby triggerfish is really good.. Just don't keep them in with other fish cause of the funky slime really smells and makes other fish taste.... Well not so good
