Here's my vote:

I love eating fish and anytime I travel, I like to try something new when I can.

Fried:
I'm with buzzyboy. There is no sense in frying anything else but brim, perch, and catfish. As a child, I remember my dad biting down on the tail (the crunchest part) during fish fries at local lakes and ponds. I don't order fried foods at restaurants (normally). It's just not the same.

Not fried:
Sea Bass: Excellent (although I hear Chilean sea bass is endangered)
Tilapia: poor (I just don't like farm raised fish, especially redfish)
salmon: My fault, I just don't like Salmon at all for some reason. I'm sure I'm missing out.
Grouper: Excellent, especially yellow tail and scamp
Sablefish: Very good
Amberjack: OK
mahi mahi: OK to Very Good (depends on circumstances)
Almost any Hawaiian fish (opakapaka, pink snapper, ahi, etc.) Excellent
swordfish: fair (too tough and dry)
halibut: fair (same as swordfish)
Rainbow trout: Good
flounder and sole: Good

Raw: (sushi and sashimi)
Ahi Tuna: Excellent (my absolute favorite)
Yellow Tail Tuna: Very good
Albacore (White Tuna): poor
Salmon: I won't eat it, my bad
Pufferfish: That can kill you! LOL
