I like trout. Not the best but love the sport of the fish. Love the fight of a large mouth bass, but the eating sucks. Just throw them back. Stripers are great as are lake trout. Reeling in a lake trout is as much fun as bringing in a boot.... until they see the boat. Can't even try a catfish. Bottom feeders and nasty looking to me.

No trout in my neck of the woods, but I've eaten it. I don't remember much about it so it must not have been too nasty, or I'd have remembered that.
For me, the top tasting fish from my neck of the woods are:
1) spot 2) flounder 3) striped bass 4) speckled trout 5) bluegill 6) croaker
I'm sure there's some others, but these off the top of my head. I don't catch a lot of spot anymore for some reason. Used to pull them up two at a time. Took a lot to make a meal. I catch more croaker than spot. Used to be the other way around.
Most others get tossed back.

Favorite freshwater fish for me are walleye and crappie. Saltwater would be grouper, red snapper and triggerfish.

I like everything about trout. I like fishing for them and eating them. I'm a little perplexed by all the negative comments, I would never have guessed it.

No thanks to trout and salmon. I don't care for the oily fishyness of them. Love most other fish though. For freshwater, walleye is darn tough to beat.
If you find yourself in a hole....quit digging

They’re predators and often the top of the food chain. Blues aren’t bad eating if you trim the red off the filets. Flatheads are outstanding.

Catch and release is always a good option.

1. Vermillion snapper 2. Pompono 3. Flounder 4.Walleye/bluegill bream 5. Trout/salmon
Some actually speared in SCUBA gear. (You get to pick out the fish you hunt.) I like fishy fish. Don't like oily? Want a trial separation? Make your wife cook a Canadian goose.

Maybe it’s because all we get is stocked trout. Doubt the meat is anywhere close to the taste of native trout. I think you nailed it. A hard red-meated trout out of cold water is hard to beat.

I love catching and eating lake trout. I cook them in the round in the oven. Stuff the belly with stuffing, peppers and onions. Sew the belly with needle and thread. Bake in the oven. A nice Lemmon dill sauce for dipping. Delish!

For the areas I have people in the summer lake trout are nearly the only trout type. They are my favorite to eat especially if you stay with say 4-8lbrs. Skin down fillet on foil smothered in spices and some herbs, tent the foil and cook over open fire for 20 minutes or so. I have clients who prefer barbecue sauce on the fillet while grilling and others that really like them lightly seasoned and then brushed over towards the end of grilling with a honey, soy sauce, butter mix. I like it all.

I love eating trout myself, fresh salmon, or steelhead. They’re excellent.
