In the cold, clear, clean water of the north, northern pike taste the same as walleye, which taste the same as the crappie, which taste the same as the perch.; ▶ Reply to This

My favorite is crappie as well, but I usually catch black crappie. Is there really much of a difference between white crappie and black crappie? I've never tried walleye before, but from what I've heard it is pretty tasty as well.; ▶ Reply to This

I once ate some brookies from a beaver pond that smelled kind of swampy, and guess what....they tasted swampy! My uncle once set up a blind taste test between n.pike and walleye caught the same day from the same cold lake, and the family favored the pike! The flesh was whiter and flakier. But I have to say from boyhood memories, I don't think anything is quite as good as a pan-size brook trout fried in butter and seasoned with lemon pepper. Don't foget to eat the fins, mmm crispy goodness!; ▶ Reply to This
