Mahi Mahi has a very chicken-like taste and texture. It's delicious!

Swai fish taste may blow you away because this cheap fish has sweet taste and flaky.

Salmon is moist, a little chewy, sometimes meaty.

White fish tends to be flaky, tender, mild and bland.

Tilapia fish has a real earthy taste.

Red Snapper tastes sort of sweet and spicy at the same time.

Blue fish tastes fresh and fishy.

Gefilte fish is sweet and peppery.

Trigger fish tastes sweet, firm and delicious.

Dory fish tastes like butter.

Black Drum fish are very tasty

wolf fish tasted exactly like lobster, really good.

Cod is pretty tasteless - less saltier.

No, not at all. "Fatty" fishes like Mackerel or something like that taste EXTREMELY Fishy. Tilapia really doesn't taste like anything at all. Sport fish like tuna and salmon are more meaty, and have a more mild fish flavor.



The different price is due to the availability of the fish. Fishing for salmon and tuna is far harder than catching river or lake trout, or even catfish. And there are only certain types of fish in certain places. The more rare the fish is, and the harder it is to catch, the more it costs.



There are different classes of fish, and in those classes the fish will have a similar taste/texture.

Not only does each species of fish taste different, but the same species will have a different taste depending on if they are wild or farm raised... Or freshwater or salt water.



Catfish is unmistakable. You can bread it and fry it... The taste of catfish (salt water / farm raised) is distinguishable from other fish.



Some subspecies of salmon that can be confused as trout; sockeye salmon is similar in color, texture, and flavor to steelhead trout.



Cod can also be confused as grouper,,, which is often used as a substitute.



Tilapia is often farm raised. I have never had wild tilapia.



Tuna also has a taste of its own. It is almost impossible to pass any other fish off as tuna. Aside from the processed tuna in a can, Tuna (Ahi) is one of those tastes where a tuna lover can be blindfolded and still tell if they are eating tuna.



EDIT: This is in reference to Melissa's statement. Your grammar is fine. Fishes is the proper wording to describe multiple fish of a different spices. 20 tuna is fish. 20 tuna and 20 catfish is fishes.

If you have a monotone tongue, yes. But I can taste the difference between salmon and tuna by a long shot if cooked the same way. But all in all, one type of fish can have many different tastes depending how you cook them. If you think they taste the same, you either have a brain that prefers other flavours or you must have something wrong with your tongue.

No they don't.

Salt water fish taste different from fresh water fish

Farm raised tastes different from wild fish. and it depends on how it is prepared.
