Keith in my opinion tilapia taste better than most of the pond fresh water fish and because it has a firm texture can be prepared in more ways than most other fish. It is very good on the grill but I also like catfish just not as much. Have any of you tried the emerils fish rub? You put just a little bit of olive oil on the fish to get the rub to stick and then grill the filet. It is really good on most any fish. Blue gill are really good also. Now if we could just get Condello to cook some of his giants at the next Pond Boss Conference that would be a real treat! ;\)
