pumpkinseeds followed real close by gills, perch and callies. any of these between 6   inches and a foot are the best eating fish period, no questions asked!!!!!

I have to pick any trout that has very red/orange meat. Usually around here that is brookies, but the browns from blue mesa reservoir have meat that is just as orange.
Fantastic eating, especially grilled or if fried, fried in bacon oil.
I like walleyes best for any white meated fish, but pike, crappie, and perch taste really good. Catfish and bass are okay but are softer and fatter.
Most all fish are best fried in my mind. I don't like filleting trout, I just pick the meat off the bones. Walleyes and other fish must be filleted and skinned.

[perchfisher]

for panfish(perch, gills, crappie etc.) i use this special tool to descale them( a sharp knife works as well) and take all the scales of but leave the skin on, then cut of the head.  It is a good way to get alot of meat off of them. after frying u can easily pull the fins and backbone out so there is little for bones left but ALOT of meat.

[fishaholic1970]

Blue Gill , Yellow Perch , Walleye , Crappie, Northern Pike , Smoked Salmon or Grilled with Lemon juice

[big walleye]

Walleye is still number 1 with channel cat being a close second.

Mack- I used to do the whole trout thing and pick the bones off but I have recently been filleting them and rolling them in crumbs then fryin em up and what a difference it has made, It may be that i like the crunchiness better but once i get the fillets boneless with a quick swipe of the knife its all worth it. I fillet it similar to a pike and cut as close to either side of the bones as possible and have one fat fillet and one skinny strip from the top of the back. Give it a whirl some time     Skinning is optional, sometimes i do sometimes I dont,  rainbows have larger scales than brookies so i always skin them

1) rainbow because it is the only trout i ever ate. 2) either gills or crappie or perch.

It's hard to beat the taste of Speckled Trout caught, cleaned and cooked over a hard wood fire, all within half an hour.

[CRANKY]

don't eat trout unless it was caught while icefishing, something about cold clean water
walleyes, smallies and pike make wonderful shore lunch

[shrub]

fresh water, that would have to be crappie, havent tried walleye yet and salt water would definty be tuna steaks

2 part question
          a) fav. trout to eat (excluding brookies)
          b) fav. whitemeated fish to eat


a) brown trout because they are less greasy-tasting than other trout and have a sharper taste.

b) walleye because they taste the same as perch, yet they are bigger and you can cook them in different ways that you can't perch because of their limited size.

i dont fish for trout. 
i like walleye, but am perfectly happy catching good combo of gills, crappie, perch.  thats ideal for me.  few of each, and im eatin good.  i used to chase walleye all day, finally i learned to fish for the panfish during daylight, and the walleyes at sundown.

The only fish I eat are Swedish Fish (you know, the jelly kind, not actually fish from Sweden).

That's the thing with Brook Trout, they only live in cold clean water.  I've measured the temperature of a pool in the river on a May trip, and the temperature below the ice in 12 fow during March.  They were the same!
