There is a reason for commercially raised fish tasting bland. A restaurant owner/chef explained it here a couple of years ago. People like the idea of eating fish over red meat but not the taste. So, the commercial farms feed a pellet that will give the flesh a bland taste that allows the use of sauces to give it flavor. Catfish, trout and tilapia covered by tartar sauce are good examples.

It's not about the fish. It's about the pond. Take care of the pond and the fish will be fine. PB subscriber since before it was in color.
