Sirsnookalot--sorry to hear you don't care for finnan haddie, smoked haddock. A staple in the fishing communities of Scotland, whence comes the name I'm sure. My family lines are Scottish fishermen  so I was served quite a bit of finnan haddie as a lad. Get a hankering for it often but it's not available any place I've been. We used to be able to buy it in our local supermarket in San Diego, maybe Safeway or Piggly Wiggly but that was in my youth, maybe 50-60 years ago. As far as good tasting fish I'd have to go with salt water fish. It beats anything from freshwater that I've ever had. Unless it's salmon and is that fresh or salt?

I can still taste that finnan haddie from 60 years ago, no thanks lol.  My dad was in the fish business, there also was a wide variety of fish available to us.  I just love cod, too bad Atlantic cod are getting fished out but plenty of Pacific cod.

My absolute favorite is smoked sable which is Alaskan black cod if I'm not mistaken, about $40 lb.

 

Freshwater lake Superior whitefish is high on my list along with Lake Erie Pickerel, (same as walleye), commercially caught out of Canada they were referred to as pickerel, at home we stall call it that.
