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.

You can usually catch Tilapia in just about any pond or road side
ditch around here. I am not sure the chemicals in a golf pond are any
better than what they have in Asian farm ponds. I guess they don't
have the anti-biotic load and that is a good thing.
I imagine the people are really worried about them taking over the
lakes.

Sort of like we've taken over the habitat from the woodland creatures,
eh?

The way humans behave towards each other in terms of war, avoidable
famine, spread of diseases, et cetera, I'm not convinced we are the
"higher species." I've seen more cooperation from the squirrels and
raccoons helping each other eat along our tree line than I see from humans.

Tilapia...cichlids...blech. I've pretty much given up eating "fresh
water" seafood, and I'm more picky these days about salt water seafood.
It's too bad because fish has always been one of my favorite "eats."

If you know anyone in Central Florida see if they will get you some
"Specks" (folks up north would call them Crappie). That is a plentiful
native fish in most Florida lakes and they are good pan fish.
In salt water, it is hard to beat a snook but you have to catch them.
It is illegal to buy and sell them.

Oh, and I think one of the best salt water fish around here is
Blackfish, but they are huge regulated...
