tilapia always have an earthy tast to me. The couple I cought this week in flowing brackish water did taste cleaner than the ones I have eaten out of fresh water ponds though.
Goofing off is a slang term for engaging in recreation or an idle pastime while obligations of work or society are neglected........... Wikipedia

Bill, I understand the logic and reasoning, yet have only found food fish industry studies on "off flavor" not being a concern at all. About the only information I have found on the subject mostly says "there is no concern of off flavors such as those associated with catfish". The only dangers I can find on potential off flavoring comes from improper cleaning opening intestines and tainting the flesh, It is recommended tilapia be starved 3 days in clear water to flush the gut and prevent this "danger".
From all I have read, heard and personally experienced, tilapia have always been bland and only take on the flavor of seasonings used when cooked....Even Tilapia eating blue/green algae. Thanks Rex, I was just going to ask about "purging"(sp). But when you say clear water, do you mean something like well water or plain pond water? Well water is best. Pond water, unless well filtered will have food in it that the Tilapia can filter feed on.
