I'm looking for a cool weather fish that I like to eat. There is a lake with perch stocked locally that have yellow "birth marks" on them. I was thinking I might use them, but I don't know anything about them. What temps do they like? What do they taste like?

First, I do NOT like gamy tasting fish. I hate catfish. Tilapia is the first fish I have really liked. I have never tasted perch. The only thing I can think of is to ask for you to compare them to fish I have tasted. Can you all please comment on the taste of catfish vs perch vs tilapia vs salmon vs cod fish?

Thanks for your help!

You forgot the other half won't let me eat the pet perch now. :(
Its funny how people go on about the taste of fish. I have always thought they all tasted the same. **duck** Some may seem to have a tougher flesh but the flavor for me has always been the same. Maybe I need to eat more fish. It is something I will have to look into. :D

I haven't had perch before either DDM. Catfish are oilier than tilapia of course. I think of fresh tilapia as like a softer version of cod.

To me the taste of catfish vs tilapia is like eating a wild deer vs store bought hamburger meat. I notice a big difference..
