That is probably why I have the perception that tilapia is just "OK" table fare. I have only had the "store" bought kind.
Same with me. Tilapia is the most common fish on restaurant menus around here now and I don't care for it. I even tried it at Red Lobster once. It seems to have an okay flavor but some sort of weird after taste to me but my wife likes it. If they weren't illegal here I would try a few in the pond and I imagine they would be better fresh from good water.
