I don't kill everything I catch but I do kill every legal Scamp that I have ever caught.  Scamp to me is the definition of what fish should taste like. 

What is your single favorite fish to eat?

Trigger Fish Omelet at "Triggers" for breakfast - what a way to start the day.

Besides that - I love to eat it all - many different ways.

Never have turned down any fish - that is cooked.

I don't get to go deep sea fishing very often, but my favorite would have to be grilled grouper! Add a little Cavenders seasoning with a squeeze of lemon and look out, it's good!

Like others I can't narrow it down to just one.

Cobia, grouper, tripletail, trigger fish, and raw yft are some of my favorites.

I guess I am the exception to the rule when it comes to scamp. I like them, but they aren't my favorite. It seems like they lack the flavor of gag, red, or black grouper.

Anchoring for cobia fishing is like washing your feet with socks on, it doesn't make any damn sense!!!

Heard that VS200B! Sushi! Preferably yellowfin tuna. Other than that not much of a fish person. I Love crab, lobster, shrimp, calamari.

God did one of his finest works when he made the mullet. He used the leftovers to throw all the other fish together. Get a fresh mullet, leave the skin on him, deep fry it, peel the skin back & watch the yellow grease run down the dark brown meat & get ready to be sent over.

One phrase that's always bothered me, why do people say? " I don't like to eat fish that has a fishy taste " I've never been able to figure that one out. If you don't like fishy taste, then eat beef, pork, chicken, dirt, etc.

Pretty much how I feel about it: fish that tastes like fish is just better.Like beef that tastes liek beef not chicken. If you don't like fish then just go for a ham sandwich.  The one i have available fresh or decently frozen at that instant is usually what i like most

But Mullet, bluefish, fresh bluefin tuna, sockeye salmon are good. Striped bass can be tasty if done right. Did a good one Sunday I got below Pickwick landing. Gulf whiting/groundmullet or an oak smoked bonita is good. A Dungeness or even better a giant mud crab is good steamed and served with a grated grannysmith apple , cilantro and onion mayo dressing.

Think i need to be making some blackened Amberjack sandwiches for lunch Its what I have.

I have never caught or tasted a Tripletail.. I understand they are excellent eating fish, but I have yet to find out.

This is one that most of you have probably have never had the honor and priviledge of catching and eating in the manner described, but my alltime favorite fish fresh or salt water caught is a 12" to 14" native brook trout caught out of a clear cold water stream, gutted only, stuffed with a few slices of lemon, and baked wrapped in tin foil in the lingering coals of a campfire about 10:00 in the evening. And that would be the finest snack to have after just wolfing down about 4 or 5 of those  delicious fish fried in butter over an open fire for dinner in the wilds of some backwoods trout stream in Northern Maine!! I have very vivid memories of my life as a fresh water fisherman!! My next favorite would probably be a toss-up between walleye pike cooked similar to those trout I had talked about or Northern Whitefish, sometimes called Rocky Mtn. Whitefish. They are very elusive, can only be caught on a fly line in my experiences, and are so flavorful that my mouth is watering as I type!! I used to catch these below Cabonga Dam on the Cabonga logging reservoir in Northern Ontario. Not too many people have been there as it is a treacherous 35 mile drive on a deeply rutted dirt logging truck road that goes only one place, to the caretaker's cabin on the dam. One way in, one way out.

Since I have moved to FL, I have to say that my assortment of fish that I have caught and eaten is limited to whatever I can catch from my kayak but I treasure the taste of pompano the most so far. I have eaten speckled trout, redfish, flounder (good eating), AJ, trigger (which I really like alot!), mahi (which I wouldn't go out of my way to catch or eat), red snapper which I like, and a few different kinds of grouper which I haven't acquired much of a taste for as yet.

But I want to work on that some more so, if anyone wants to contribute to my learning the tastes of the fish that are indigenous to the Panhandle area, please email me and I will arrange to pick up the "materials" for this taste test!!   

Cool thread!! How about some of  those "secret" recipes for fixing some of your favorite fish??? Maybe that is worth another thread, eh??

without a doubt one of the hardest fighting fish i've ever hooked... it's an unreal experience
