My family and I are also pretty picky when it comes to eating fish. None of us will eat any strong tasting "fishy" species. When we run out of crappie, I found that less desirable (to Us) fish like white bass or catfish can be very good if they are cleaned right and eaten fresh. I remove ALL dark meat that is found next to the skin, and cut out the stuff that goes deeper along the lateral line (fillet is in 2 pieces after this is done). Do not freeze the meat. If it cannot be eaten in a reasonable time, I give it away. After freezing, even after careful cleaning, you will get a strong tasting piece. Better to not run out of crappie, but hey, some years are tougher than others!
