I tried to like catfish and succeeded, contrary to expectations. It
took a while.....but then so did just about everything else at one
time or another.

I would agree with you on blue gill and or perch (stripping a wooly worm off
my dock for rainbow/browns a couple nights ago I caught a 8-9 inch perch,
reminded me I need to catch enough for a meal soon), I enjoy going out and
catching a bucket full and pan frying after a corn meal, flour and seasoning
or one of the fancy Tony Chachere's batters.

I used to be fond of battered fish but it's just too greasy for my
tastes these days. Egg wash, corn meal and McCormick's or Zatarain
creole seasoning is my preferred preparation for deep frying these
days. Pan frying I usually do plain in a bit of olive oil and/or
butter.....maybe a bit of garlic. I jazz it up with some kind or
sauce or other.

The only other fresh water fish I would rather eat is Walleye.

By FAR the most popular fresh water fish in this part of the world. I
like walleye well enough but it isn't one of my favorites.

What is your and other's in the group, favorite white meat salt water fish?

Been a long time since I had anything but what's readily available in
the supermarkets around here (mostly cod, haddock, pollack and
similar). They're pretty much indistinguishable to my palate. When I
lived in south Florida, lo these many years ago, I was extremely fond
of grouper and snook.
