Move to South Florida. Tilapia has established itself all over the
canals of Dade County.

Never heard of tilapia before we moved to Florida. At that time, they
seem to be available mostly in supermarket fish departments, as opposed
to free-standing fish markets, and their appeal seemed to be mostly to
Latinos recently arrived from Central and South America. Nowadays, of
course, the appeal of the fish has broadened.

I can't say I've ever eaten any. Never bought it at the market, never
ordered it at a restaurant. Not knowingly, anyway. Maybe it is because I
only knew of cichlids as aquarium fish.

It seems the perfect species for Lake Lanier.
