“Dirty Jobs” had an episode on a fish farm. Tilapia was the fish used to eat leftovers and feces just before the water went for sewage treatment. I’ll never touch the stuff again.
Funny. Tilapia is the primary frozen fish you can get from the Wally World nearest me. Guess where every box I looked at came from... Glad I’m not a fish person.
Yeah, I've always heard Talapia referred to as a "trash fish". I prefer my own home grown catfish ordinarily, but the wife and I are headed for Alaska on Saturday and I plan to gorge on Salmon........
I actually liked Tilapia up to that episode. These fish were fed the poop of farm raised sea bass and whatever food fed to the bass that they didn't eat. Grossed me out and put me off the stuff for good.

I saw the same exact episode and haven’t eaten it since.
