Bass and/or Crappie cooked correctly. If you can’t do it yourself take a few to you favorite Chinese restaurant and ask them to steam it with scallions, ginger, hot oil and soy sauce. If you have extra fish, bring some for the restaurant staff. They’ll love you for it.
This is a question with no incorrect answer. It is based on how fresh or well stored it is, how it was raised, how it is cooked, how long it is cooked, how many different fish the eater has been exposed to, and mostly what pleases an individual pallet the most. Personally I find halibut near the bottom of the saltwater list as it has little fish taste. It is a great chowder fish as it picks up the flavors in the chowder and is very firm. My preference is very rare surface sheered yellowfin tuna then mihi mihi. Favorite cold water fish is ling cod. My favorite freshwater fish is yellow perch, but that might be because I have never had Walleye. I love cat fish, but that is like comparing apples to oranges. Salmon is great if wild and not over cooked. Over cooked salmon is barely eatable. We have had several guests at the lodge that preferred farm salmon to fresh salmon. Go figure. Just eat and enjoy what you can get. If any fish is not great then change how you fix it or just fry the roe.
Spoted bass is the best bass to eat in cold water lakes

Perch with Walleye a close second!
walleye or catfish if caught in cold fast water.
I will always go with blue gill, just have to get past the bones!

perch are pretty darn good if you can find some of size, after that, i am saying walleye.
Haven't tried them all, but of those I have: Walleye, without a doubt!
Being from Ohio, like Ben, perch, saugeye, walleye, and bluegill are my top four. Have never had sauger, so not sure where they would rank.
