First of all, there are very few "British" usages that are not acceptable and used in the U.S. They tend to be in a higher "register," more formal, and more frequent in careful and educated speech.
In my opinion and experience (U.S. native speaker, Northeast, in my sixties) all of the following would be natural and acceptable in U.S. English.
"That's the biggest fish I ever saw."
"That's the biggest fish I've ever seen."
"That's the biggest fish I have ever seen."
"That's the biggest fish I ever have seen."
I think both usages can be found in the U.S. in both formal and informal contexts.
Taking my cue from Susan612, evidence from song lyrics. Hmmm... as I collect examples, it's harder to find examples of the present perfect than I expected.
Folk song:
"The prettiest girl I ever saw
Was sipping cider through a straw."
Folk song:
"Now once upon a time, there was a tree
The prettiest little tree that you ever did see."
Emily Dickinson:
"I never saw a moor,
I never saw the sea;
Yet know I how the heather looks,
And what a wave must be."
Will Rogers: "I never met a man I didn’t like."
Gelett Burgess:
"I never saw a Purple Cow,
I never hope to see one..."
