Best tasting ???
I don't know to me it depends on how it's cooked.
Misoyaki pink is actually better than sockeye.
Oven baked sockeye definitely better
BBQ both sockeye and halibut
Seared halibut and carp
Soy sauce/black bean (steamed) carp trout
Pan fried w/ salt, pepper, lemon, tyme sockeye halibut
Soup any fish that's freshly cought

I just had some Red Spring last night, I would have to say, that if cooked right, I like it the most out of the salmon!!  I like to marinade it for about an hr, in a Balsamic Vinegar/ seasoning mix, with fine chopped garlic, lemon pepper ( but don't over do it on this), and chives or something of that nature.  Sometimes I trade the vinegar for some red wine.  That is also a damn nice thing to use!!!

Your tottaly right. The only way you could decide is pan fry all the fish and taste it. I have never done that so cant say but carp is pretty good in alot of asian and european dishes.

I voted for coho but i just rembered after i voted at tasting fresh grilled tuna, iT will be the best thing you have ever tasted . It taste like your eating steak that is super tender and falls apart in your mouth. Exactly like steak no differance


We came accross some by that my dad went on a fishing trip and after fishing for the day He decided to go to the bar. he made good freainds with a drunk fisherman and he was a commercial tuna fisherman , so he walked my dad and his friend down to his freezer in his boat and gave hime 4 huge tuna.
so it goes to say make friends and good things will come to you ;D

I'm addressing all the old timers here. If you remember back when we were able to keep Sturgeon; did you like them? Keep a seven footer once, and tried poaching, baking, and frying the stakes. My wife and daughter liked it, but I couldn't get my mind passed the soft mushy texture. Needless to say the only way I could get it down was to use it for sandwiches. Awsome sandwich meat. Did anybody like Sturgeon when it was legal?

I liked Sturgeon, The smaller they are, the firmer the meat. I still remember the first time we had one, it was about 4ft and still alive, Dad had it in the bathtub. Mom got home from work, and went to take a shower. It scared the crap outta her. (she still curses dad on that one :lol: )

But mom cooked it the same way she cooks catfish. steams it in whole milk, with dill. Man oh man it's damn good.

I love sockeye

But I recently had the opportunity to have sea bass and red snapper. I really liked the sea bass. I've had sword fish before and didn't care much for it. But half smoked/bbqed spring salmon is the bomb. I had it made the traditional way in Bella coola some years ago. That killed my dislike for salmon forever. I was amazed with the flavour. Smoked salmon jerky from there is awesome as well.

I gotta go with halibut, especially cold smoked halibut. Another favourite is garfish, which we get to eat for a short period of time every spring and every autumn, when they enter Danish waters, mmm, sooo good and almost time now  ;D

Oh, and smoked eel is another good one  ;)
