The freaking gulf is two hours away and our restaurants are serving tilapia


YOu are aware that many species of fish are not allowed to be caught for commercial purposes. The tilapia is most probably grown in Missisippi along side of catfish, They are both the shite of the sea being bottom feeders.

I hope so. Farm raised is infinitely better than frozen Chinese shite

This is true. I'm not the biggest catfish fan. It gets a pass because it can be fried easily and well.

If a restaurant is so lazy as to serve Tilapia as their "feature fish," I doubt they are taking great care as to how they are procuring it and from where.

Sure, there are a number of restrictions on Gulf fish. Many places that give a flying crap still seem to be able to procure it and keep it on their menus.

Except that neither come from the sea and Tilapia are vegetarians. Catfish is fantastic. I never order Tilapia, but don't see the big deal if people like it. Many just happen to. I sure wanted to catch some of the ones in the San Antonio river.
