Just wondering what everyone's preferences are ?
For me the best eating is freshly caught ( like 10 minutes ago ) South Island blue Cod in my own Beer Batter concoction .
Most over-rated ( I've lived in Australia to long ) Barramundi .

Best eating deep sea has to be bluenose.
Best eating inshore yellow belly flounder.
Most underated fish of all time .
The Jock Stewart/Moari chief/Sea perch.
Overated.
Snapper no contest.
One of if not the best fish to catch but only pretty good eating wise.

My top 3 in order are
Gurnard
Trev
Tarakihi
Sent from the swamp
Freshly caught and barely cooked wahoo sandwich in raro comes to mind
Over rated - snapper
Under rated - trevally (and raw Kingfish).
Overated: Snapper
Underated: Kahawai
I avoid most sea food like the plague. BUT, if its caught and bled straight away even kahawai is nice. Freshly smoked with brown sugar and soy sauce on sammys mmmm. I agree snapper is overrated. Gurnard, cod and kahawai are underrated.
For me and in no particular order I love eating yellowfin/bluefin sushimi, Mahi Mahi sushimi, Blue Nose, Blue cod, snapper, Trumpeter, Salmon, eel, Fresh water perch, searun trout, flounder.
Oh and of course whitebait😆
Over-rated: Elephant fish, hapuka.

fresh caught orange fleshed trout, and yes I have a batch at the Coromandel and catch snapper, terakihi etc next best fish gurnard
Blue cod and JD best eating fish B Cod even better out of the freezer
Over rated by a long shot Snapper
My favourite would be gurnard, flatfish and eel. Most over rated would be Hapuka. Salmon are OK, never eaten snapper.
+1... Really :O_O:
Cam their like eating flounder only better... Oh oh oh so good...
Underrated jock steward ..beautiful clean white fillets of goodness , Kawhai , bleed gutted iced (hot smoked )..then cold on crackers mmmm ... Eel seriously man they are the way tasty.
Over rated .. Albacore tuna, rig , snapper , crayfish.
I dont recall catching a JD so probably havent eaten it.
Only ate rig for the first time this year and recon underated by far. Caught farken heaps always threw them back.........dads eh....not always good advice [emoji6]

Snapper is over rated even though I do enjoy a feed of snapper when I get the chance. The fish I really like eating is John Dory, Gurnard, Terakihi, Lemon Fish, Kahawai (smoked or fried in butter) and trevally (Smoked)
over rated, farmed salmon.
under rated, Kahawai.
From the sea terakihi, gurnard,JD, nice Groper steak, Paua, Kina, oysters, any I don't care, crays, shit anything from the sea my Moari ancestry I think shining thru:P
farking oaff, shellfish (all) and kina, can't wait for a feed
Fresh Crab meat is my all time fave
Mutton birds ok haven't tried Penguin ........yet
You got a sharp eye there Pengy,
Ok gonna have to put kahawai as over rated, its ok smoked but kinda like rabbits in southland,white bait on the west coast etc
I have painstakingly minced around 150 kahawai for burly recently and released alive probably 5 times that number.
Just sick of eating them....ok smoked ok raw as chevish, but pretty shit pan fryed and that is how I prefer to eat most of my fish.
Kahawai works for me cos if I catch anything...that's all I catch
