I bought four pounds of frozen tilapia for $12. Why did no one tell me fish was so cheap? The fillets are even individually vacuum sealed so it's super easy to store and thaw. What are some good recipes for this stuff? So far I'm just drizzling some lemon garlic butter on it with seasoning and baking it.

Doesn't that fish usually come from China and is fed feces?

Tilapia cakes, cook beforehand and break up leaving big chunks, in a bowl add

>mustard
>a splash of Worcestershire sauce
>bread crumbs
>cooked fish
Form into patties, the mixture should be just enough to hold everything together, broil or fry in a pan until hot. If frying flour or breadcrumb the cake, rape Renge for dessert. All of the above works with crab meat.

Tilapia tastes like dirt no matter how you cook it.

Yes, just like lobster.

Tastes like white fish. It's what's in those fast food sandwiches you guys like so much.

this is cheap because frozen farmed tilapia is the worst fish you can possibly buy (I buy the same).
>>20264390
more or less, but it's not just tilapia anymore
but if I'm eating chinese shit fish might as well make it like the chinese - Idust then fry it with salt and pepper then mix a some garlic, green onion, a ton of fresh chili, chx bouillon, soy, sesame, oil, and pink/green peppercorns to make a sauce and pour it into the pan at the end. enough sauce so you can't see the fish ideally

tilapia is cheap because it's the worst fish, it's basically feces shaped into fish fillets

Tilapia is so cheap because it's just a blob of mercury, parasites, and feces that was reconstituted to look like fish.

The worst piece of tilapia is still healthier than the finest piece of red meat, I'm sick of redditors saying it's worse than bacon or whatever such insanity. Flash frozen fish has no bacteria or parasites.

flash freezing doesn't remove heavy metals or pesticides

Tilapia sucks just like adults that still like cartoons do. Grow up.

Maybe if you're getting your fish from a source that doesn't pack them into tanks so densely that they only have an inch of space between them and the next fish. But if you're buying super cheap fish it's more than likely some chinese farm raised biohazard that you shouldn't even feed to a dog.

It's literally the same bro. All domestic animals are made to convert things we don't want to eat into tasty flesh. That's how it works.
