They sure are!

I like Trout any way
But gotta go with Snapper
The Redder the better
Sharpi

I had a whole fried red snapper in Aruba years ago. Looked great, what a presentation. I wished it tasted as good but wasn't.

#1 -- flounder -- fried or grilled whole
#2 -- red snapper -- just about any way you want to do it
#3 -- red fish -- grilled, prefer the backbone

Honorable mention and not a common choice -- king mackerel but only if same day caught, steaked and grilled; or, smoked and made into fish dip

FRESH is the huge big deal for me for any fish

Whole dover sole meuniere.

Do oysters count?

Pap,

PITA to open, but no not swimmers. Dad had a special Craftsman screwdriver bent and ground to open oysters. Should have a patent on it, worked like a charm.
Should have seen what we used on bay scallops. Grapefruit knives were the ticket.
