Stay away from imported tilapia. No restrictions on chemical and drug use in many of the third world countries it's raised in. One of my board members took a trip to one of those countries said he would never eat tilapia again from overseas. The workers that lived on the premises of the ponds had their raw sewage go into the ponds. And they were constantly throwing drugs and chemicals into the ponds to combat sick fish.
Here in the U.S. fish farms are strictly regulated and tested.
I ate some store bought imported tilapia once before I knew better. Didn't like it as it had some kind of off flavor to it. The ones I've raised myself were some of the best fish I have ever eaten.
