Heres some good information about Tilapia. I have been buying coconut crusted Talapia. Its so good I could live off of it. The Tilapia I am buying is most likely chinese farm raised. I get it at the deli. Oh well. What can you do? Where I live, you take what you can find. It tastes good and is protein lol
snopes.com: Do Not Eat Tilapia!
i eat 2lbs a day every day myself. if it's farm raised oh well, i cant fork out the 4.50 per pound for fresh with the amounts i eat
I love talapia. I can't do fishy fish. The coconut crusted is delicious!!
i do make sure it is a domestic product. watched a show on how they are raised in Asia. I will never eat Asian fish or shrimp again. mercury and pesticide levels are very high. runoff from farms where animal and human waste are used as fertilizer taints the meat too.
but like snopes said American tilapia is good to go.
I buy all my talapia at Costco the loins are so much bigger and taste way better.
I eat it by the pound
I eat it at least every other day. I love fish and beef.
i love fish and could eat salmon all the time if i had the budget for it, but tilapia? tilapia is shit. i HATE tilapia, the stuff tastes like salty muddy water, as if it was just moments ago pulled from the swamp. no matter how much seasoning i put on it that horrid flavor overwhelms it to the point that if i dont want to waste it i have to wash every bite down with water. i bought some last week just cuz it was cheaper than cod at the time, i regretted it so deeply i swore never again will i save a buck or two on tilapia.Quote:

I've eaten a few bearded clams in my day. I have to agree with nips though, Tilapia is a nasty bottom feeder like a catfish. I definitely stay away.
about a pound just consumed.... snack. lmao!
Love all fish. Right now flounder is on the menu. Baked talapia wirh stewed tomatoes. .uummmm
i can only tolerate tilapia orange roughy and maui maui for dieting. salmon is the only fish i enjoy eating while offseason. i dont care what type of feeder it is as long as it gets me lean and paper thin and doesnt taste like fish. i tried to do the flounder thing and made it two bites in, even holding my nose i couldnt do it.
