Unusual/local berries you grow/wild pick

Thimbleberries can be very tasty, but they turn to mush and are often very dry. And generally a small number of fruit per plant.

Salmonberries are very pretty and they look like they would be tasty, but I’ve never had one that was actually good. My kids love them, they grow all over here, but they just taste like bland vegetal mush to me.

Osoberries are one that can be very tasty if they are good specimens grown with enough sun exposure and picked just right. They can also be nasty and bitter, though, so very hit or miss. I started a thread for them awhile back but still haven’t gotten around to growing any myself (the local wildlife love to eat the seedling sprouts when I’ve tried planting seeds):
