Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Favorite Fish to Eat ?

High country wild trout, out of a lake with scuds so the flesh is pink. Brookies or cutthroats, wrapped in thin-sliced prosciutto or salami, a little oil, salt & pepa, then wrapped in foil and cooked on the embers of a campfire.

Washed down with The Glenlivet. No ice.

Not a scotch man, but I like your style.

My favorite fish is king salmon. You can get it a couple months every summer for $15-$20 a pound. Big money, but good.

I like them all. have yet to try one I didn't like

fresh....crappie
salt.....orange roughy

Gunner

Flounder,haddock....Alaskan Dolly Varden fresh caught....white perch filets

Lobster,clams,tuna....

If it's got fins and gills, I'll eat it.

Perch and crappie fillets right off the ice

I'm the opposite of Bob...if it has fins, I won't eat it..


If it has shells and/or claws...bring it on!

Red or black grouper, flounder, halibut

flounder seems like a favorite for lots here ive only used it for bait. maybe ill try it next time

I'd have to say that I prefer walleye. I like northern pike, perch and bluegills/sunfish very much too.


I just came in from catching and cleaning these this very evening.


I prefer to eat walleyes. This 19 incher is a great eating size.






I usually toss back most of the pike I catch. This one sucked my rainbow trout colored stick bait into its gills and wasn't gonna make it in the lake, so it'll make it into the frying pan.

Actually, the pike were hitting like crazy. This is one of 9 that I caught tonight in about 2 hours of trolling.

Give me redfish on the half-shell.........

I've never understood the hype over Springers. Yea,they're good,but IMO they're not as spectacular as everyone makes them out to be.

Arctic grayling for freshwater and grouper for saltwater.

25 year old Peachfish is my absolute favorite, but odds are I'll never have that again.

Everything else is more dependent on setting and freshness as opposed to species. Way up there though, are meals of: shiro maguro, planked king and sockeye salmon, blackened yelloweye, whole steamed January crappie...

In honor of our conservative Canuck contingency, I will say pickerel. Truth too.

For the most part, if it comes out of the water, I'll eat it. I've eaten many species of fish and liked virtually all of them. Those that I did not like probably had more to do with the preparation rather than the species.

So, to let the humble, redneck upbringing come to the forefront . . . I grew up eating catfish and carp - I still fall back to those two when I have a choice.

Probably. When we would kick back in from abalone diving we would always pick up a few urchins. Once on the beach we would crack them and scoop out the innards and eat them raw washed down with beer. If there were 'nads in there they got eaten. A driftwood fire warmed us as we peeled our wetsuits.

I've also had them scrambled with eggs. Not as good as raw on the beach.

Crappie Bluegill walleye catfish

Salt water: I would have said yellow eye but I had a chilean sea bass filet while at the SHOT show this year that was the best fish I have ever eaten.

The second best is yellow eye that Sitka deer and M prepared.


Freshwater: Crappie.
