For the most part though salmon is farmed, it’s oily, and it’s just not very good. As I’ve stated before the best fish is whatever’s freshest, and if you can get fresh salmon (Pacific Northwest on up) it’s tasty as hell. Someone changed the name to ‘Chilean Sea Bass’ and suddenly it’s on my list of the 25 best tasting fish in the world, and people have eaten so much of this fish that it’s now on the protected species list.ġ7) Salmon: To me this is the most overrated fish of all. Fresh fish = the best fish, so eat ’em while they’re as fresh as possible.ġ8) Chilean Sea Bass: Fun fact, the Chilean Sea Bass has forever been known as the ‘Patagonian Toothfish’, but apparently that name wasn’t very marketable and the fish didn’t sell much worldwide. You can pretty much catch them on any grass flat across Florida or throughout the Gulf of Mexico, and they’ll strike anything that’s shiny and moves. These fish are back now, and they’re as tasty as they’ve ever been. Due to a combination of random cold fronts and a few brutal hurricanes the speckled sea trout fishery was decimated. Don’t let Cod’s reputation dissuade you from ordering it, because it’s phenomenal.ġ9) Speckled Sea Trout: For a while these fish were hard to come by in parts of Florida.
I think what people tend to forget is the fish you’re ordering in a restaurant has been vetted, it’s not some bottom feeding specimen you pulled in on your buddy’s Boston Whaler, this is a restaurant-caliber fish and holy shit is Cod delicious. Don’t let that sway you away from ordering Cod though. When you get a fresh swordfish steak it is pretty divine, but finding fresh swordfish these days is really, really hard to do.Ģ0) Cod: This is a fish that’s gotten a bad rap throughout the years due to some weird parasites that pop up from time to time. I feel like with swordfish it’s more about the preparation. People salivate over swordfish like it’s a gift from the gods, but sometimes it’s really not all that tasty. Caught from the Chesapeake Bay on down to the Florida Keys and all throughout the Caribbean, it’s one of my all time favorites.Ģ1) Swordfish: I do genuinely like swordfish but I also think it’s one of the most overrated fish in the world. The flat body lends it perfectly too cooking, just prepare it with a little lemon butter and/or fry it up and you’re in business.Ģ2) Redfish: you’d be hard pressed to find a better tasting piece of fish than a blackened redfish. If you don’t like Haddock there might be something wrong with you.Ģ3) Flounder: Not only is it one of the weirdest looking fish in the ocean it’s also one of the tastiest. They were goddamn delicious.Ģ4) Haddock: If you’re a seafood lover and have ever spent any time in the Northeast then you’ve almost undoubtedly had a delicious meal involving Haddock.
We used to catch these in the Smokey Mountains in North Carolina when I was a kid and would cook them camping. Now let’s get to my extremely scientific rankings… The Best Tasting Fish In The World, RankedĢ5) Rainbow Trout: This was one of the first fish I ever recall truly loving. So no, I’m not qualified to write the definitive rankings for ‘the best tasting fish in the world’ but my list is better than yours, so suck it. If you ask my co-workers I’m a bit of a snobby dickstick when it comes to my #foodtakes. I grew up with a boat in Florida and spent several days a week on the water. As I mentioned to my colleagues, 99.99% of the time ‘the best tasting fish in the world’ is going to be whatever fish was caught that day and is as fresh as possible, but there are certainly species that taste a hell of a lot better than others.Īm I qualified to write these rankings? Not really, no. Naturally I called her an idiot for liking salmon (it’s wildly overrated), and from there I went on to claim it’s a tie between a few different species, several of which she doesn’t even think tastes good (who hates Mahi Mahi?!).Īfter that I started bouncing around the web a little and noticed that there’s not a single good rankings of the best tasting fish in the world, so I figured I’d toss together a quick list of the best tasting fish around. Some (Rebecca) claimed that salmon is the best tasting fish in the world. From there a HEATED DEBATE broke out amongst the BroBible editors. One of my coworkers asked me what I think the best tasting fish in the world is recently and I had to think about it for a minute, then realized I’m pretty torn on my top 5 but can at least narrow down my favorites to only a handful.
