American tilapia come from Louisiana and are very good
My better half, who pays attention to these things, has always said Tilapia will never be on the menu at our house.
You mean that rubbery, tasteless, EXCREMENT SUCKING, mercury laced thing they call fish?
‘Asian’ fish farms are, well, pretty much what you’d expect. If you’ve got a fish that’ll happily gobble up pig (and every other kind of) waste, you’re in business!
Farmed, ‘fresh-water’ fish? NO THANK YOU.
Anyone who likes Tilapia, never watch a video about fish farming in China, you’ll never eat it again.
A buddy visited China years ago.
He went to a fish farm on a river.
Suspended above the river were caged chickens and all the droppings fed the fish.
After that I never ate farm raised fish ever again.
If it doesn’t say Wild Caught product of USA or Canada I don’t buy it
“Tilapia? You mean that rubbery tasteless mercury laced thing they call fish?”
yes, THAT tilapia ...
Grok 3 says almost ALL tilapia is farmed ...
which means raised in mudholes, doused with huge quantities of antibiotics, and fed corn meal, meaning it contains none of the beneficial Omega fats which people think they are consuming by eating “healthy” fish ...
I live in Mississippi. Our shrimp comes from the Gulf of America, we eat home grown catfisf and crawfish. I don’t really drink apple juice and I doubt garlic will break my budget.
