I had a pondowner this weekend tell me that when he cleaned a tilapia a deep green fluid can out when he cut up near the head. He said this fish then tasted bad a sort of bitter flavor. They threw the cooked fish away and didn't clean any more; thought it was a fish flesh problem. I told him I also occassionally see this dark green fluid when I clean tilapia. I told him I thought this was liquid from the gall bladder. I sometimes see similar fluid when I clean other fish although it is dark yellow. When I see it I quickly and thourghly wash it off the fish. Then I rarely have fillets with "off flavor". Anyone else with similar experiences and opinions?
