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.

A number of years ago, I visited my Dad who was living in Little Rock.
He took us out to a very popular restaurant that specialized in deep-
fried everything, including dill pickles (yuk). The restaurant was
situated in the middle of this extremely muddy pond with decks all
around the outside. After a truly horrible dinner, we walked outside
to see people feeding leftover hushpuppies to the catfish in the pond,
where they must have gotten their fish from. I'll take halibut &
salmon, please!
