Never have tried using them for oil but I figure skipjack may work well.

flat head catfish are good. use the fat in their abdomen

years ago before I started trapping. we had 2 guys show up to the fish cleaning station in Racine WI , they were trappers and came all set to really work , they had buckets and bags and were very fast and efficient
they would clean your fish , but they wanted all the eggs , fat , guts and heads
basically everything but the fillets but if you wanted your fish hole they were happy for just the guts
as you would expect a trapper to be , these guys were pretty handy with a knife
they would stack the back of a truck with 5 gallon pails of fish parts primarily salmon and trout
obviously lure/bait makers they said they had a long coon line fisherman were very happy to let them clean their fish.
so best might be what is readily available in your area , but fatty lake trout would sure get you oil fast and no one saved the belly fat of a laker with all the pcb warnings least not in Racine
America only has one issue, we have a Responsibility crisis and everything else stems from it.

Smelt would be my first choice.
I have nothing clever to put here.

I'd like to try a 5 gallon pail of mud minnows just once....
