My wife keeps cooking this. It has no flavor. Last week, I finally said “I hate this stuff!”. I sent her a link to the article. I think it’s time we moved on to a better fish.
The rumor is that Red is a carp-eater. Red, can you defend your position? I suspect the article contains several items of truth. Talipia is a lousy fish anyway.
Thanks. I’ll stick with catfish.
Farm raised may be the deal breaker.
A healthy diet should consist of roughly one omega-3 fatty acids to four omega-6 fatty acids. A typical American diet, however, tends to contain 11 to 30 times more omega-6 than omega-3 fatty acids.
In contrast, a Mediterranean diet is made up of a healthier and more appropriate balance between omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids. The Mediterranean diet includes a generous amount of whole grains, fresh fruits and vegetables, fish, olive oil, and garlic; plus, there is little meat, which is high in omega-6 fatty acids.
There are several different types of omega-6 fatty acids. Most omega-6 fatty acids are consumed in the diet from vegetable oils as linoleic acid (LA; be careful not to confuse this with alpha-linolenic acid [ALA] which is an omega-3 fatty acid). Linoleic acid is converted to gamma-linolenic acid (GLA) in the body and then further broken down to arachidonic acid (AA). AA can also be consumed directly from meat, and GLA can be ingested from several plant-based oils including evening primrose oil (EPO), borage oil, and black currant seed oil.
Tilapia is too mushy, I prefer Crappie or white or striped bass. Mmmmmmmmm.
I do like Pacific Slimehead though.
(Otherwise known as Orange Roughy...)
Fish farmers put tilapia in their ponds after they pick out the striped bass, because tilapia eats the fish waste from the bass.
Tilapia is one of those foods that the UN, the internationalists and environmentalists want you to eat so there is more of the good stuff for them. It will also help them achieve their goal of population decimation because you’ll die sooner than them too from eating bad food.
I don’t eat any farm-raised seafood since I heard a report about the fish farms in southeast Asia feeding the fish waste from chicken houses. You just don’t know where that frozen stuff came from...
