Most of the normal fish have an Emperor variety. You used to be able to use only the normal ones for cooking, and the Emperors were good for cash value. Now there are many recipes that require an Emperor fish (look at Ack's recipes). I believe that the emperors were also the only ones that could be used in the fish displays... but that may have changed -- I haven't tried to raise any lately.
