IMO nothing looks better than a skin mount. As a taxidermist I've never attempted a saltwater fish because I don't want to screw it up (saltwater fish have different skin oils than freshwater), but the best way to keep small game animals is in panty-hose. Fish, birds, squirrels...that sorta stuff. just put them in the panty-hose as soon as you can THEN wrap it with a damp towel and freeze. The panty-hose will keep everything in place much better than a damp towel alone.
