Fish emulsion and other sources of minerals and salts attract different butterflies than fruit trays/butterfly bait stations.

Out here the brushfoot butterflies (admirals, emperors, leafwings, mestras, malachites and bluewings readily come to fruit/bait whereas Giant Swallowtails, Sulphurs and Whites like to puddle around the pond.

Why not try both!!! :o)
