Does whiting fish taste as good as orange roughy or swordfish or halibut fish?

Your question confuses me. Roughy, swordfish and halibut have distinctly different flavors. Roughy and halibut have somewhat similar textures, but swordfish is decidedly more fibrous than either.

The problem with Whiting is that it is commonly used to refer to a wide variety of fishes, even several different species. The true Whiting is a Pacific species. Any "fresh" whiting you find on the east coast of the US is probably Hake, a mediterranean and Irish species introduced to Cape Cod. It is a fairly mild flavored fish, similar to cod though not as flaky.

If you think of it as an almost generic white fish, you will be able to prepare it accordingly and create an edible dish.

Salmon is a fish, so it is most likely going to taste fishy. There is no real way to get rid of that taste. You eat fish for the fish flavor.
