I don't know if its the least bony or not, but my vote goes to crappie for ease of cooking. After frying, the entire filet just falls of the ribs, backbone, etc.

Got to be the eel, or lamprey.

Piker hit a home run with lamprey which, like the shark, has no bones- just cartilage.

Agree with the Crappie as an all around favorite of any fish I've eaten. Having fished the spawn in the canals on Lake Okeechobee in Florida....You learn real quick how to filet and find out at Dinner time it was all worth it!

Of the non-cartilage fish my vote is Burbot. Had one in Montana. Looks like a love child between an eel and a brook trout.
