Of the fish I target regularly with the type of fishing I do, Pompano is my favorite. Just under them on the tier list would be a tie between redfish, sheepshead and Flounder. Then after them a tie between sea trout and Mangrove snapper. Next is probably Whiting and black Drum, along with Spanish Mackerel. All good to eat so it's tough to rank. I've had bluefish and it gets a bad shake but it is honestly fine. Though still not really a target species for eating, for me personally.
If I'm ordering at a restaurant then grouper is never a bad choice. If they have cobia however they might tempt me even with the market price lol
