I never much liked bass when I would sometimes have it summers on Lake Simcoe as a kid.  So I was surprised how much I liked it when we cooked some up this past summer in Quetico.  In fact, my wife prefers it to Walleye.  I can't say that I prefer it but it is very light.  I remember bass as having a very "fishy" taste but last summer I became a convert.  Maybe it has to do with the northern lakes.  I'm sorry there won't be any bass where I'm going this summer, not only because they are exciting fish to catch but because of the taste.
