Black sea bass is the best fish Ive ever caught. They're small and a lot of work but worth it.

Sable/Black cod is my favorite.
A bycatch at the Halibut grounds and the soft oily texture was not popular with the halibut fishing crowd out of Newport. Most considered it crab bait so we would swap small halibut for Sable at the cleaning station.
Came home with pounds never had enough!
Smoked is the best but excellent most any way you cook it.

Huachinango a la Veracruzana. Man, done right, with actual Red Snapper, it doesn't get much better than that, in my book.

With regards to salmon, I'm partial to sockeye.

Around here, nothing beats some freshly caught spot prawn, brought back to the campsite on Sucia, stuck on a skewer and roasted over an alderwood campfire. Kick back with a few beers and a few friends, play a little guitar, watch the sun go down at Shallow Bay and then crawl into the tent with your sweetheart. Wouldn't trade that for all the money in the world.

I do want to try that Halibut head idea. I bet that could make my top ten list.

For a tasty easy “catch and cook” the world around, it’s hard to beat red snapper!

In the PNW, Halibut, followed by fresh salmon on the grill.

In Pensacola/Gulf of Mexico: Royal Red Shrimp fresh caught. With the second being Mahi-Mahi on the grill or ceviche with fresh limes, and cilantro.

Canary rockfish from 500-600 feet of water.

Twenty pound or less lings are number two. The big lings (30-40 pounds) aren't nearly as good 15-25 pounders.

Number three would be sockeye or a 10 pound or less male silver.

Until I hooked and landed an 8 lb Sheepshead, in the
backwaters of Little St Simons Island, GA this winter,
I thought Sea Bass (store bought Embarassed

) was the best.
Not anymore.

The coating: mix it up, slather it on dried skinned filets
2 T mayo
2 T rice vinegar
4 t kosher salt
2 t paprika
2 - 3 garlic cloves minced
good pinch of cayenne

Best cooked on a hot open fire, or grill, about 10 - 12 minutes,
no flipping needed, or baked at 475*F about 15 minutes.

Prepare your palate for a new treat.

Aye.

Here in the PNW we are blessed with a variety of excellent seafood choices all of which could be caught and cooked the same day. Locally I like Ling Cod baked or seared in cast iron skillet with various spices. Spot shrimp are excellent as well as fresh caught Dungeness crab cooked and eaten hot. Of course Salmon (king, silver, Sockeye) grilled with garlic and butter and a coating of brown sugar can't be left off the list. With all this good stuff we catch fresh here I still have to say that I've never tasted a better fish than Chilean Sea Bass available at Costco. A little pricey but oh so good.

It should not surprise anyone that tastes differ; it's a rather personal trait.
Being one of our 5 basic senses, maybe 7 if you count proprioception and
balance, taste not only differs between different people, it differs in
ourselves. Ever have the same food item prepared the same way at two
or more different times and then say "This isn't like I had before."?

And then there's those who don't like cake...

Aye.
