I can understand that. There are a lot of freshwater fishes that aren't
very good. I have had a trout that was not very good, but I have also
had enough really good trout that I know it can be good. Arctic char is
one freshwater fish that I have always enjoyed. I have also always
enjoyed whitefish, though it tends to be bony. All in all, I think that
sal****er fish tends to be better, and I live in the middle of NA, so
I don't get it really fresh, so not at its peak.
