Scotty I'd say that talapia is like what Greg described. They don't cook or steam or bake well and the only flavor it has is what you put on it,
But the wife likes it.
The tilapia I have tasted had an off taste to it. I can't really
describe it but I didn't like it. My neighbor cooked up some wild caught
tilapia for us and you could taste the difference (better). It helps,
too, that he's a pretty good cook.
