what does /ck/ have against tilapia? it's great for fish tacos

[Anonymous No.18856881]

I'm not /ck/ but if I don't smear it completely in seasoning it tastes like ocean water

Tilapia is only as good as the water it's raised in, and nobody wants to eat tilapia from some chinese fish farm. People only bought tilapia because it was cheap. Now if you don't want tilapia filled with chemical waste or tasting like a muddy catfish from the bottom of skum pond you have to pay luxury prices. At that spending point you may as well buy a better fish rather than tilapia.

I liek more chunkyness in my fish tacos ideally. So mahi mahi and whatnot are better for fish tacos imo. Still i don't mind tilapia.

I dislike Tilapia except from this one place in LA near LAX that may not even be there anymore. They take a whole fish and deepfry it head tail and all. Comes out with a soft crunch and the sweetest, softest fucking meat ive had from a fish that wasnt raw. Miss that place all the fucking time

Chances are, unless you have your own aquaponics set up, tilapia is grown in tanks below chicken coups. The fish eat the chicken shit and dispose of the ammonia laden chicken shit. Tilapia are like the Andy Sixx fangirls of fish.

tilapia is one of the cheapest kinds of fish, and is always served at nigger food joints/cities
can they eat it every day? no, but they can't eat any kind of fish every day. when a white man wants to buy fish from a store to cook and treat himself, he buys salmon fillets. niggers think store-bought tilapia is fine dining.

Niggers get enough food stamps for shrimp and Red Lobster from Uber Eats (no tip)
They are not concerned with prices or budget because their ATM card gets reloaded every week so why not use it up

I have nothing against a good lake tilapia, a big fried mojarra is one of the best meals out there. Those little farmed ones at the store taste like literal crap though, like that guy said the store-bought tilapia has to be doused in seasonings or it tastes like the way your ball smegma smells

Most people get burned by shitty, import tilapia. American raised fish is far better and actually gas the nice, subtle sweetness that makes a whole fried tilapia an absolute treat.

It's an incredibly bland breed so it requires a heavy coating of (a well made) sauce. This isn't the type of fish where you want to 'savor the pure flesh'.

It's an ok-ish fish, I guess. It just doesn't have a flavor stronger than flour.
Might be a personal taste for me though, having been raised on salmon and swordfish. That shitty white fish only tastes as good as whatever you cook it with, kinda like tofu.

Tilapia have been researched for a nifty compact aquaponics recirculating system which is really cool. They are a fairly efficient fish with a feed conversion ratio (FCR) of 1.5. Some types of salmon and catfish have a FCR closer to 1, but while catfish farms are closed systems they aren't quite as potentially efficient (in density and recirculation) as tilapia farms, and salmon farming is currently always (even for freshwater like steelhead) in open cycle farms which have quite a bit more progress to make in terms of several various sustainability issues.

The above combined, tilapia are more efficient, but as others have pointed out they are lower in a lot of the key nutrients we want out of fish, like omega-3s, of which catfish and salmon have much more. Also, as others pointed out, they have much less flavor. Still, if you need general fishy protein that will be heavily seasoned or in a sauce or whatever, it's a fine cheap choice. And if you
