Oh, and please do NOT mention Tilapia in the same sentence with real fish. That disgusting thing is farm raised, with real questions being asked about it's actual food value. It's being compared (unfavorably) to a McDonalds Big Mac (or just about any other fast food burger loaded with things you don't really want to know about). They are so loaded with growth hormones, antibiotics, chemicals, etc. that they make the Tuna/Mercury scare look like a child's bedtime story.

If most peopel knew how tilapia was raised, they wouldn't eat it. The bulk of the tilapia out there that is sold is from fish farms and waste treatment areas as tilapia is a garbage eater. So they use tilapia to eat the waste from other fish as they literally eat SH!T! It's one of those fish that restaurants like because it has no real natural flavor, but accepts whatever flavoring you put on it so each chef can give his dish it's own unique to them flavor. Wild tilapia aren't to bad as they are nothing more than nile perch. But these hybrids they now have are just about worthless.

My wife refused to eat anything but tilapia when I first met her. Her comment was "it is the only clean fish without a muddy taste". I got her to try grouper one time, and now she refuses to eat tilapia. Plus after watching dirty jobs where she saw tilapia in a fish farm, that ended it for good(somethign about seeing dinner come out of a waste pond ruined her appetite).
