Wow, this blew up overnight. R2R, the fish I had in mind as former trash, now fad fish are crawfish (yes, crawfish), redfish, sheepshead (used to be called black drum in restaurants), maybe gar and mullet (popular elsewhere. I know there are others, but I'm not that up to speed on fish, because I don't often eat fish and I'm not a fisherman.
When I was a kid, we'd try anything - eel, Lake Pontchartrain clams (not good, although the native Americans sure ate a lot of them), shark, rays, alligator gar, croaker, pinfish, mullet, bonita, Spanish and king mackerel, you name it.

That's what I was looking for. re: Black drum, it's amazing that some places charge $20+ bucks for it. I tend to agree with O Brah that there's not a huge range of flavors between some cheaper fish and more expensive ones.

I'm not a fan of oily fish and gar balls are some nasty shite, I don't care how well someone fries them or what you dip them in.

I've heard of sheepshead being called bay snapper but not black drum
