I love seafood, sheesh!
To: LibWhacker
tilapia may be the Meryl Streep of seafood, capable of playing almost any role.
I've only knowingly bought tilapia once and it was the nastiest fishiest crap I've ever tasted. After a couple of bites I passed it off to the dogs and even they turned their noses up at it.

Mystery meat. Yum. Love seafood so it’s all good, maybe.

Well, this could explain why I always say I’m allergic to some kinds of fish, but I don’t know which ones. I tend to avoid all fish, just to be on the safe side.

Yellowtail stands in for mahi-mahi.
Unlikely. Yellowtail is far more expensive than mahi-mahi.

Your Talapia had turned. Properly stored and prepared Talapia has almost no flavor. It’s merely a delivery device for protien.

Why bother eating fish unless the fish is Lake Erie perch and the portion is all you can eat? (There is no satisfactory answer.)

I’ve eaten tilapia twice and both times I got violently ill about 7 hours later. Never have had that kind of reaction to any other food in my life.

I don’t eat tilapia. It’s disgusting, imho.

"Talapia has almost no flavor" Unless you count sweet. Especially when it's caramelized under the broiler.

So true. As a long time commercial fisherman. Never buy seafood unless you catch it. they bleach it with Clorox to kill the smell and whiten it.

Tilapia is sold everywhere, I can’t stand it.

Oddly enough, I had a dream about smelt dipping last night.

From what I have seen, Alaskan pollock also has very little flavor. I think they use it as a base for fish or crab products then add whatever ingredients they want to make it taste like something else.

Re: Tilapia.
I'm surprised by your reaction. It's a very mild white-fleshed fish with a very subtle flavor. I cook boneless filets frequently, adding a sprinkle of Penzey's Cajun or Trinidad spice or a seasoned beer batter coating. It's also wonderful in Thai and Indian curry sauces.
I suspect your tilapia was over the hill. I buy nearly all my fish quick-frozen -- it's much fresher than any I can find in local markets.
To: cripplecreek
I buy Talipia at Costco all the time and it is very good white meat. I put it in a dish of melted butter sprinkle with Lemon Pepper and Dill and bake for about 30-40 min. when I put it in frozen.
When I see it at Walmart I WILL NOT BUY IT because it has all these red veins or whatever they are and I have NEVER seen them in the ones I get at Costco. I have ordered a Talapia at a restaurant and it did taste awful. They must have bought it from Walmart.
