What is the best tasting fish ?? Nothing like hand sized Bluegill, Scaled and chopped head and tails. Fried in a cornmeal batter.. Deal with the bones it makes you appreciated more..

Bluegill is certainly very good, hard to beat. I also like Sauger/Walleye, Crappie, Catifish and Bass. Muskie also have very good taste - somewhat diferent than some of the others but very good.

 

Since I have listed most popular fresh water fish here I guess that my opnion is that the best tasting fresh water fish is the ones that you happen to have in front of you . I Love Em'. :thumb:

I haven't had anything as good as my grandma's bluegill. :thumb:

A friend of mine introduced me to Uncle Bucks seasoning and breading for frying fish and it is excellent. You can get it regular and hot and I got the last batch at Meyers. JD

I have eaten Carp before, caught from Wolfe Creek below Cumberland Dam. After you get the mud vein out. bread the big flanks of white meat with a good beer batter and then deep fry them. Really has good taste!!! But man was what Wolfe Creek cold!!!

Walleye without a doubt .

Trout

Slab size crappie filets, or a nice walleye.

Crappie, Bass, and Bluegill. Them three with an old fashion fish fry w/ some "Fresh corn on the cob' and Cornmeal HushPuppies." It would be like grandma's house back in the days!!
