Generally, "nice" restaurants don't serve it. Especially if they claim to be a great seafood place.

The lowest price at this place is 20 dollars so I would consider it a "nice restaurant". I'm not talking restaurant august or Stella! C'mon guys

I agree they shouldn't serve tilapia unless it's at chain restaurants. I'm not even a food snob

Maya's in Nola is on the border between "casual" and "nice" and they have tilapia on the menu for $22 bucks. It's a great restaurant and they're food is delicious and fresh-made, but I won't order the tilapia fish dish. Not sure if it necessarily is, but I always lean conservative with tilapia because I can't eat farm raised Vietnamese seafood.

How much was the tilapia? If it was more than $12 that is a ripoff. Tilapia pretty much the cheapest fish on the market

Nope.


Would you pay twenty for catfish?


Because that's the cheapest.

Tilapia is about the same price as flounder.

OK.
I guess it's that fine taste of asian tilapia that keeps so many shitty restaurants from serving catfish instead.

Whatever, you seem like you know your shite, so you win this argument. I will still say tilapia shouldn't be served in seafood restaurant worth a shite.

Tilapia runs around $6/lb in BR right now.

Catfish can go as low as $4/lb.

These are the regular grocery stores.

So, it doesn't have as much omega 3 as other fish? That's what's wrong with it?

Yeah, that's a great reason to avoid it...

How about the fact that it's a cheap bottom dweller that subsists of the waste products of other fish in Chinese/Vietnamese farms?
