Around where I live,people go fishing alot,mostly now days for the sport as many claim they do not like the taste of fresh water fish,personally,I love freshwater fish,as that is what I grew up eating,although with uncles living in Florida,several times a year we were treated to ocean catch as well.
I never noticed a difference in the taste,and I guess it's all in the method of preperation.
Is there really a difference in the taste of the fish?
I personally cant tell the difference,fried or baked,but Im sure others can.
Im with you, I cant tell the diff, I eat both about the same amount, The only diff. I can tell is everybody has there own way of cooking it and the fish will taste a little diff, based on what is done to it, I love the fishy.Quote:

I couldn't tell the difference either
I eat both and can tell can't tell the difference between the fresh and salt water.
Hey TDG = how about swimming over to the Introduction section and tell us a bit about yourself. You can find it here http://www.wilderness-survival.net/f...splay.php?f=14 Thanks.
Have no idea what happened in last post, but can not tell the difference...opps.
Was just wondering if you hadn't made up your mind yet.:DQuote:

I do understand people releasing them from streams,rivers and ponds that have been contaminated,but where I am that currently is not an issue.
Nell - my wife has a recipe for salmon that you might like. I'll see if I can find it.
Well - it seems that it wasn't a particular recipe, but rather how she cooked it. Popped it in the micro wave for 2 minutes.
Haven't noticed any difference between Lake Superior salmon and Alaska salmon.Quote:

Certainly is a lot of difference between mud lake bass I've caught in western Minnesota and the cold water rock bottom lake bass I catch locally. I once tried to eat bass out of a western mud bottom lake. It smelled so bad I couldn't even try a bite. Northern bronze back (small mouth), on the other hand, is so good - it may well be my favorite eating fish.
Make that "freshwater" fish. One thing you don't have in fresh water is halibut. I would kill for fresh-caught halibut.
I think they are both good. But since I live only in a fresh water area, the fish I catch are all fresh water. We only occasionally buy ocean fish, if my wife has a recipe to try. My favorite is red snapper.
yeah, i don't so much find a difference [nor a need to see a difference] between freshwater and ocean fish, as between one type of fish and another. the flavors of fish, though often with similar components, are quite variable.
For me any saltwater fish with white meat is good to go. Mackerel, mahi mahi and other darker fleshed fish are just too gamey. Fresh water bream, crappie(the best) and small catfish I find tasty. Bass are o.k., like RBB said smallmouth better than largemouth. I,d eat salmon any day. The best fish I ever ate was on a fishing trip in the Gulf of Mexico. We landed about a 20 pound grouper and the first mate cut a big hunk out of the side, put it on a plate with a slab of butter and a little seasoning salt and cooked it in the microwave for one minute. Can't get any fresher than that.
I love fish,fresh water or salt
be ware. i read a site an google, that said 27%of fish were mislabaled to a higher price..dna test showed this..as most fish taste the same, its easey to switch..buy freash watch the fish monger slice and dice ur fish.. buy whole if u can freash fish have no oder and clear eyes..
Some salt water is OK but we used to pull a lot of blues out of Chesapeake Bay and I thought they had too much of a "fishy" taste for me. One other kick, any fish that bleeds like a stuck pig and can snap your finger off, forget 'em. Those things are too "toothy" for me.
ah do i miss bluefish. i'd love to return to Virginia some day. i found it almost mild, and it was eaten the same day as caught, but i must also say that i love oily/strong flavored fish. i used to fish pacifica peir on the san francisco peninsula, for salmon, striper or sharks on the big rod and would sometimes pass the time with a mackarel rig catching anchovie and frying them up as i fished.
I don't notice too much of a difference between salt and freshwater fish either. Though I do notice that some saltwater fish seem a bit more tender but that might just be my preparation. I marinade salmon fillets with some lemon juice for about 20mns or so, rub in some Greek seasoning, and then grill em for about 6mns, always turns out great.
We eat a lot of Ocean fish now as I live by the ocean and my partner is a fisherman. But in the old days, we ate a ton of fresh water fish. To me the best was pan fried fresh water fish like perch, or brook trout.
Now, there is so much pollution in the fresh water sources we don't eat fresh water fish much. It may be this that is causing the fish to taste funny, or farm raised fish that were released in the ponds as stock. The fishes diet can definitely impact it's taste.
My only suggestion is If you plan on eating a lot of any type of fish fresh, or ocean caught be leary of mercury poisoning. In Maine, they have a list of the fish with the highest levels of contamination and recommendations on how much to eat. Adults may not care as much, but it's important to be cautious with kids.
Pregnant women should also limit their intake or avoid fresh fish,unless they know for certain that the source is mercury free.Quote:

I can taste the difference but I eat a lot of both. It depends a lot on the type of fish. An example would be trout to Halibut. Very different meat types and consistency after cooking. It also depends on how well the fish was butchered. There are some fish that need portions cut away that are not tastey to say the least. Diet will play a role in what the fish tastes like as well. The best way to filet a fish...quick kill it by bonking it on the head real good or knife to brain. Next, do not gut the fish. Start at the gill plate and filet back towards the tail. When you butcher the fish this way none of the guts and blood flush into the meat. The difference in taste is a lot fresher and less gamey.
I love both fresh and salt. I can tell the difference between the different fish. They all taste different to me.
I think I am more partial to ocean fish, but mainly for practical reasons. I can get a bigger fish from the ocean, and that means I get to eat more.
Did I ever tell you how much I like to eat?
For me, fresh water fish aren't as firm as salt water fish. Fresh water also have more of a "fishy" taste although that seems to be worse with bottom feeders.
If you are worried about pollution (shouldn't we all?) you might check with you state's DRN. Most states run continuous testing of the lakes and streams for different pollutants and the safety of eating local fish.
