What is the best fish to poach?

Chef's answer
The easiest fish to poach have firm flesh that will hold up without breaking apart. Monkfish, albacore and other tuna, arctic char, turbot, skate and halibut all are good candidates. Whole fish are easier to lift out of the water than fillets. A whole striped bass is a natural for poaching.
