I may be way off on this but I think with catfish, the fishy taste is caused by a bacteria or algae and not by what they eat. Catfish growers sometimes get "off flavor" fish and they only feed food. Could it be your pond and not the diet of your tilapia that are makingf them taste bad?
BrianH,
This is an excellent question and premise. I can only reply that in the pond where the Tilapia was unfit for consumption and without any artificial feeding, the BG tasted wonderful.
However, one data point(one pond) does not an answer make. If others have experience, it would be interesting to hear it. Again, Brian, excellent question. Thank you.
