“The last tilapia I ate tasted moldy.”

Yes, that’s exactly the flavor I detected in tilapia the two times I’ve eaten it. One of the few times I’ve ever left anything sitting on my plate because I just couldn’t stand the flavor.

Tilapia, like sanddabs, various soles, is a delicate fish. What this means is, it doesn't do so well being packed on ice and then thawed, and how many times. All delicate fishes should be fresh and eaten as soon as possible.

Egads, I'm used to FRESH ALASKAN CRAB. Since I've been here on the east coast, I've turned my nose up at the so-called Alaskan crabs more than not. Why? It's old, it's gone through various temps: It's not as fresh as one would get while on the west coast. So, I'm now eating East/South fish I never really had available to me on the West Coast. And loving the tastes of the newer-to-me fishes!
