I gotta agree with Dudley. I find the "delicate" taste of tilapia to be almost tasteless. I think their appeal is to people who don't like a strong "fishy" taste. Neither do I but tilapia appear, to me, to be at one extreme end of the taste range. I kinda think that their prolific breeding habits combined with their hardiness is a strong contributor in a protien starved world. Also, since they are farmed in private waters, I doubt that their flesh carries the pollutants that we are warned about in other food fishes. I eat them when they hit the table but I learned a long time ago to keep my mouth shut about my wifes selections of table fare.
