My neices are in town and they want me to cook some grilled fish 'cause they know Uncle Root can cook. I like grilled catfish better than the tilapia and I'm fixing to thaw some catfish out. I can deplete my freezer of the big cats or I can go to Wal-Mart and buy some tilapia. They don't care which fish is used. What say the food and drink board?

I have never been impressed with tilapia. I don't know if I just had poor tilapia or if its all like that.

Open a recipe book. Go to a real fish market and buy a real fish to grill.

I think catfish is made for frying myself.

I prefer grilled catfish if done right. Catfish tends to have more fat in it, while tilapia seems to get dried out on the grill.

I don't really like either. Ever get a really fatty piece of catfish and it can turn you off from it forever

I agree with TigerSpy. For the same price as tilapia, you could probably get mahi mahi.

Your girls would like that

Their is a reason Tilapia is 2 for 1 at Winn Dixie every week. It is pretty bad. Go with the catfish if you don't go to a fish market.

Tilapia. Catfish tastes like mud if the fillets are too big.

It's because it is Chinese and glows in the dark when you cook it.

C'mon man, it's family. Grouper or snapper. Don't get that Costa Rican red snapper, it tastes like dog's arse.
