I suppose traditionally raised tilapia might well have a muddy
taste since they were grown in the shallow muddy waters of rice
paddies before the fields were drained to ripen and harvest the
rice. It's really a very efficient use of space.

Let's be honest, I don't like the texture of tilapia even ones
I've selected from those swimming in a tank.


IIRC they were even the "featured fish" in the enclosed ecosystem of
the movie _Biodome_, which is a dumb parody of the Biosphere project
fiasco of a few years ago...
