+100! Crappies are kind of nice. An okay second.
Crappie #1. Walleye is damned good, but it runs second to crappie.
Canadian Walleye, not the fish from Lake Erie.
Bug eaters vs fish eaters food base
Walleye are in the Perch family and they are great too.

I've never eaten pike, but I understand they are fantastic. I was always unsure on how the clean them, but with the magic of the intercomputer I can learn how.
Well they are the same family. They po'd me a few times. Have had stringers of crappies destroyed by them(Northern's/ Pickerel in the south?).
It's been way too long since I have fished.
YEP, Crappie, especially when caught through the ice. Pan fired trout are a close second.
Off to do some Trout fishin in the nice snow and 19 degree tempos off northeast Iowa
I think large mouth bass are the best to eat. Most say Walleye, but I don't see any difference in taste, but Walleye are more mushy like trout. Large Mouth bass are similar to cod in texture, and have their own unique smell. I like catching bass so much I always feel guilty killing them to eat, so I don't keep many.

Nice! Must have hit a crappie hole! Crazy that if find the right area you can catch you limit in less than an hour. That trout looks awesome as well.
Maybe it's the area, but in Minnesota and of course Canada, the Walleye don't seem to be so mushy. Removing the Y bone stinks though. Large mouth bass seem to be kind of muddy tasting up here. Fun to catch though.
I don't know but have heard strippers can have a lot of crabs in them?
The purple ones were the best, it's a shame they phased them out.
Walleye....hands down.
Crappie 2nd.
You should only eat bass if you can't catch crappie or walleye

Don't eat a 9 pound walleye. Trust me. Stick to the small ones and perch, and never eat bass. Let them go so they can grow.Walleye....hands down.

Pike are also tastey but again, the big ones are tough.
It's hands down walleye for eating. I'll go with bass for sport fishing. I separate fresh water from streams. Fly fishing is one of the most awesome liesure things I've ever done.
Don't eat the big ones is true for a lot of fish, both fresh and salt water....Don't eat a 9 pound walleye. Trust me. Stick to the small ones and perch, and never eat bass. Let them go so they can grow.
Walleye to eat. Smallmouth to catch
My wife and I spent few days in the Twin Cities last June and ate walleye almost every meal. Blackened walleye mac n' cheese was awesome (Tavern on Grand), so were the fingers and the sandwiches (Stella's).

Next time try the Tavern on Grand if you like Walleye. St. Paul, but not far from Minneapolis.

Unfortunately my good man, those aren't the originals. It's cool that several companies are trying to fill the void but I want those perfect textured, perfect flavored grape Swedish fish from my youth back. The red ones were a close second, but as I recall, the larger ones in the different colors were as hard as woodpecker lips and didn't taste as good.
From my cursory search of the internets;
Do they still make grape Swedish Fish?
Friday a box from Blair Candy in Altoona, PA arrived on my doorstep and inside was a bag of the grape fish. Now, since they're not manufactured by the original maker of the Swedish fish, these “Nordic Grape Fish,” as they are now called, have a slightly different texture and a strong grape flavor.Jul 16, 2017
And from that bastion of truth known as Wikipedia;
Swedish Fish - Wikipedia
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swedish_Fish
Originally colored red with a flavor unique to the candy (often guessed to be lingonberry, but never verified), they are now also available in several different colors, such as Orange & Lemon-Lime. Purple Swedish Fish in grape flavor were discontinued in 2006.
