agree  Christine Walsh: I'd go for 'flesh' as long as it's already clear in the context that it is fish. Otherwise, simply 'fish'.

agree  Charles Davis: "Its flesh is prized/esteemed for its flavour and texture" sounds exactly right to me; "its meat...", referring to fish, sounds quite wrong. I might say "fish meat" rather than "fish flesh", but that's another matter.

I think you could also say "flesh", but "fish meat" is perfectly acceptable.

Those who do eat the fish meat find it is high in omega-3 fatty acids: http://www.wisegeek.com/what-is-a-capelin.htm

One trick to eat it, when we pick the fish up through the chilli oil, is to put it on the rice, let the oil soak to the rice and eat the fish meat: One trick to eat it, when we pick the fish up through the chilli oil, is to put it on the rice, let the oil soak to the rice and eat the fish meat.
