I assume you are talking over rated here.

Blue cod and JD best eating fish B Cod even better out of the freezer
Over rated by a long shot Snapper

Trout with a guts full of koura are a lot better than trout full of snails that's for sure! Still, I stopped eating them many years ago as we have better options in NZ for a feed.

Serious??

My favourite would be gurnard, flatfish and eel. Most over rated would be Hapuka. Salmon are OK, never eaten snapper.

Underrated jock steward ..beautiful clean white fillets of goodness , Kawhai , bleed gutted iced (hot smoked )..then cold on crackers mmmm ... Eel seriously man they are the way tasty.

Over rated .. Albacore tuna, rig , snapper , crayfish.

I dont recall catching a JD so probably havent eaten it.

Only ate rig for the first time this year and recon underated by far. Caught farken heaps always threw them back.........dads eh....not always good advice

My missus rates rig over Snapper. Gutted, trunk-ed and straight on ice

I'll see if I can find some JD for you to try

Snapper is over rated even though I do enjoy a feed of snapper when I get the chance. The fish I really like eating is John Dory, Gurnard, Terakihi, Lemon Fish, Kahawai (smoked or fried in butter) and trevally (Smoked)

Only cause you can't cook! Fresh lake fish, Rotoiti I think are the best, salt, black pepper, fry in butter, less is more. Cooked within an hour of catching!
And fresh water eel, bloody good and even better smoked!

over rated, farmed salmon.
under rated, Kahawai.

From the sea terakihi, gurnard,JD, nice Groper steak, Paua, Kina, oysters, any I don't care, crays, shit anything from the sea my Moari ancestry I think shining thru

Farmed Salmon slice fillet across into 25mm strips with skin on, salt and black pepper, fry in butter with a dribble of oil, on their side, skin verticle, Cook both sides yum, yum?

farking oaff, shellfish (all) and kina, can't wait for a feed

Fresh Crab meat is my all time fave
