I've only tried tilapia once and I recall that it seemed like a
flavorless fish....ie - easily to manipulate into a good tasting
dish....just like chicken breast meat..

My one time, I put the very thin mayo glaze on it, pile of minced onions
and a squeeze of lemon then broiled it. It was very tasty to me. I have
no problem with it.

Other fish...I have almost no experience with fresh water fish other
than rainbow trout (sardine size) from a stream one time. Other than
that, all fish I've eaten are sal****er fish and I like them all.

I used to fish often as a young fellow. Basically catch and release as
this was in the Potomac River just east of Washington DC. Fun to catch
but you didn't dare eat those fish in the highly polluted waters.
Occasionally I would catch a catfish. Creepy things (no scales, etc). I
hated to touch them even to remove the hook from their mouths. The other
annoying occasional catch was eels. Oh man. Creepy! hahaha
