best-tasting fish?
What kind of Alberta fish tastes best? I've never been fishing, nor have I eaten any Alberta fish. I grew up in Nova Scotia, so have had lots of ocean fish. So, what's the best eatin' around these parts?

There are alot I haven't tried but IMHO it would be nice fat Perch. Not just the meat but the row sacks as well. It may sound a little gross but breaded and fried in butter, the row sacks are delish! I have heard Walleye is great but I haven't tried it yet myself.

Walleye, hands down.
Perch is very close, but after cleaning 20 perch for a family meal I'm not in as good a mood!
Pike is next.
That said I do enjoy a good trout (but not as much as a good walleye).

whitefish, trout, grayling, pike, etc. Too many to choose from. In my experience, if the water is fresh and clean, the fish will taste fresh and clean.

Alberta fish
I would say Bourbot, walleye, and trout. But it's all in how you prepare them.

Def. walleye, but in alberta, i've been told your best bet is Costco... Sure wish we could get more fisheries stocked with them. I hate fishing at the grocery store!

I used to think walleye and perch were the best, then I went to Panama and had Pargo which I think is some kind of snapper. I havnt eaten a fish that can touch fresh Pargo.

Walleye (I catch mine at Costco) I ended up eating a 21lb Pike out of Badger this year that wasn't going to make it. It was really good. I never thought a big hen like that would taste so good. It was just as good as the 6-8lb pike I have eaten in the past.
I tried some burbot that was taken out of PCR and found it really muddy tasting.

For taste alone, I'll take Goldeye over any other.
For best eating, taste + texture. Walleye beyond a doubt.
Sadly not much of either left in these parts. To many poachers.
When thirty or forty people set up a fish cannery at your favourite fishing hole for a week or more every year, it isn't long befor there isn't anything left for anyone else.
Throw in a few treaty nets setters and the rest of us may as well stay at home or do our fishing at the grocery store.

My rank of the ones I have tried in AB are:
Walleye
Perch
Pike (would be higher if not for the pain to debone them)
Burbot
trout
and way way down the list:
goldeye.
Kegriver, How do you cook goldeye to make them edible? I tried them once and thought they were horrendous.
