Tilapia = Amazing

Bought some fresh Tilapia from Costco. I hate fish but I've heard such good things about it and how it doesn't taste "fishy".

5 minutes a side at a medium heat, olive oil and oregano... would've added some lemon if I had. Unbelievable taste. Tremendous protein source as well..

Two of them weighed 9 ounces which equaled:

243 cals, 5gs fat, 51gs protein, plus olive oil stats.

Highly recommended.
 
yes bro tilapia is off the chain. pales taste wise to fishes like grouper or orange roughy but definately a good value.
 
Tilapia is good served over a bed of sauteed spinach & topped with salsa....YUM!!

I second that. Even better is blackened grouper, but grouper isn't as easy to find...at least not for me.

Well that explains it. I've gotten vietnam grouper when I lived in PA, and Florida grouper when I vacationed there in the past. I assumed the grouper in FL was fresh caught...at least thats what the restaurant had said.

So the stuff I got in PA was probably nile perch? Interesting...it was good nonetheless, but not quite like what I had in FL.

florida grouper when you cook it has pretty large flakes
and pretty juicy
 
Guys this is a tilapia thread not a "grouper" thread! HAHA j/k

Anyway, people need to discover fish is the point! Fish that don't come canned.

I've been doing the tilapia with a little bit of olive oil, oregano and garlic. I would love to add some lemon if I can ever remember to buy some from the market.

There was an expose on Tampa restaurants saying that 75% of grouper was fake. People using trigger and other local fishes and calling it grouper.

i worked the restaurants in fla for awhile and i can attestify for that
lol i have been cooking seafood for over 20 years
ain't a fish i have not seen or cooked
i used to toss the fish back onto the back of the truck when they broght me in something fake
 
Sounds good. Tilapia is on sale this week too...bonus. No doubt the Grouper is fake, they have to be so freaking big to be keepers. Guess its like the restaraunts that advertise cod up here in new england. Most of the time its not.
 
when u guys say with "olive oil" do u mean u pan fry it in olive oil? i love tilapia thats the only fish i will eat but always had it deep fried the southern way.

It's on my list to get a giant package @ Costco tomorrow!! :p
 
I can't get past the fact that I used to keep a couple of them in my 125 gal aquarium years back, then I started seeing them popping up at supermarkets. So for me It's kinda like eating a pet.

But I will give it a try since I'm not to keen on "fishy" tasting fish.

LOL! Try not to name them before you eat 'em.
 
yes im gonna be buying a bunch tomorrow there cheap here. along with some veggies and chicken breast as im getting back on my diet so ill be posting sure enough to say how much i love them after all i am a fish lover
 
Last nite, I went to winn dixie to buy a few odds and ends for the week. I browsed the seafood section and they were having a 40% off sale on mahi-mahi, basa, tuna filets (th real tuna). Get this, here are the prices....... (all packages were cryo-frozen, and vacuum sealed).........

mahi-mahi - $2.39 per slab (nice big slabs i may add)
tuna - $2.39 per slab (nice, reddish-dark meat...yum)
basa - $4.00 (4 filets per bag)

lets just say i basically cleaned them out . Bought over $75.00 worth of fish that will last me a good while.

i was so stoked. And trust me, im skeptical about seafood. I only buy the freshest stuff, but this stuff looked fantastic and had great color and was vacuum sealed.
 
Have you guys ever seen a Talapia? Nasty fish! They are the ugly fish you see in the ponds at the golf course...
I read the article in the paper about the Grouper down here not actually being Grouper...really pisses me off, however, they did list the restaurants that buy their Grouper from some of the local fish markets so you know they know what they are getting...its the guys that get it frozen in boxes that are getting the asian stuff

As nasty as Talapia is, if you enjoy the way it tastes it is healthy, by all means eat up!

I'll stick with the snapper
 
Tilapia is Gold Fish and nothing more

perhaps the worst quality fish one can buy

its cheap for its life cycle is short and easy to raise in poor environments
 
I love Tilapia

Lots of bodybuilders eat it...I disagree with anyone who says it's low quality fish...it's NOTcheap
 
its ok. i prefer tuna (fresh not canned) over tilapia personally.

Tuna gets old tbh...plus too much Tuna is bad for you

how so? not that i eat shit loads of tuna in a day but i dont see any problems with amounts of fresh tuna than any other fresh fish unless you going way up into the lbs per day.
 
Thought was interesting-
Farm-raised Tilapia (the least expensive and most popular) has a high fat content and, according to a new study by researchers at the Wake Forest University Baptist Medical Center, suggests that farm-raised tilapia may be worse for the heart than eating bacon or a hamburger.[17]
 
well i had quite a few links posted up, and a bunch of other info, but i dont have enough posts yet so blah! ill just make it short

anyways farm raised tilapia is actually pretty nasty as far as what they eat. basically they will have farm raised salmon and whatnot, and pump all of the shit into the tilapia tanks for them to eat. they are on a strictly, shitty diet. no shit. just google farm raised tilapia.. if you must eat it, i would suggest finding wild tilapia, because they eat algae and other plant matter, and just a little bit of shit in the wild. not trying to burst anyones bubble, but farm raised fish really is not nearly as healthy as wild varieties.

Very good fish here...I love it. I like orange roughy real well too and mahi mahi.
 
LOL Tilapia is a carp like fish

its used since it grows FAST and easily in Stagnant water.

Understand?
 
How can there be such mixed responses about Tilapia?

I gotta try this fish thing. I thought Fish Oil would be enough. Apparently I was wrong!

Any other options other than Tilapia that body builders eat, typically?
 
Most fish are an excellent source of protein, vitamins and low fat - its all how you cook it that matters. Use olive oil to pan fry it or back it in the oven. Fresh herbs (or dry), some fresh garlic, salt/pepper and that's all you need. Add a bit of butter if you want more flavour, but really that's all you need. If your fish smells fishy then it's old - get as fresh as you can and you won't smell it.
 
a lower fat alternative is to steam it, I love Pacific salmon (any kind). I love to put lemongrass/ginger, lime leaves, garlic, and chilis in the steaming liquid. hit it with some soy, green onions and lime juice!
 
i could"nt agree more
Tilapia is a great source of real protien and delicious tasting
also seabass is great as well good source of protien as well as
all fish oils the body needs
