Literally can be farmed in mud, no mercury, goes with any seasoning, amazing proteins, cheap.

I had white rice with frozen tilapia pan fried in its own juices once. Only thing I added was salt. It was pretty good. I don't buy it anymore because it's always front loaded with salt water to increase the weight. So by the time you cook out all the water it's just a rubbery mess.

This. I tried tilapia for the first time recently, was excited to see fish in the store that wouldn't cost an arm and a leg. Fried it up, looking forward to it. I'd say that it tasted as bland as water but I'm pretty sure water has more flavor. I was sad.

If it has flavor for other people, good for them. I wish it tasted like something to me. Most bland food I've ever had in my life.

Its expensive yet has the lowest nutritional value of any fish (except maybe swai). Idk where everyone else is, but here in SoCal it's $7/lb at reg grocery stores (mfw). 5 years ago it was $3/lb and I ate it frequently because salmon was like $8-9/lb.

It will not taste any worse than processed fish such as you find in a Filletofish patty or fish fingers, which makes it ideal for these applications

Tilapia aren't fed shit, that's some kind of ignorant meme. Some farms feed them plant matter, but pellets are best for growth

In the typical aquaponic setup, tilapia poop is used to fertilise vegetable beds; trimmings can be fed to the fish but most of the nutrition comes from standard commercial fish feed; the farm produces both vegetables and fish for sale, the bulk of the revenue from the latter.
