Tilapia?

OK. I have seen something at Costco that was specifically labeled
with two countries. It may have been the Kirkland/Cara Mia marinated
artichoke hearts. Which is why I thought maybe they labeled yours
"Hondorus or USA".

That's silly. If they are organic, they are not GMO and there
have not been pesticides used on the crop of beans, or on
the land they were grown on for a specified length of time.
And this is controlled/certified by the appropriate process.
The process may be imperfect, but it is not valueless to the
point that you "don't know".

I have not heard that CO is used on anything but fish but my guess is
that it would probably work. It even works on humans - the main
indicator of CO poisoning is cherry red lips. I has seen vacuum packed
ahi that's obviously been treated with the gas because of it's
unnaturally bright red color.

The species name on the basa I've seen all over different retail and
wholesale markets is pangasius hypothalmus.

I kinda like the name. They had trouble finding a name for it when
they were told they couldn't call it catfish anymore. So the
temporary name was teh species name, pangasius hypothalmus. And it
stuck better than the latter invented 'basa'.


It's unlikely to be pangasius bocoutri. I don't think any governing
body ever defined "basa" during the mele of teh name change(s).

The free market is gone. Companies are not transparent how they raise our
food. Cameras are illegal in most states to keep people in dark about their
unsanitary and poor treatment of our food. The governments along with
industry keeps the consumer in the dark and from having the knowledge to
make sound decisions and to educate ourselves about the foods we eat.

See? I wouldn't have been prepared.

The movie "2011" was actually pretty good. Anybody have a spare
ticket? Some of you single ladies will need a gigolo. I'm good
breeding stock.

My CostCo would never sell Tilapia. Not to mention it's illegal to
label something with Country of Origin labeling that contains
countries from two different continents.

If it said "Hondorus or Panama", then OK (do I have my geography
right? :-)

So you might have some of that other .5%. I'm sure others are getting
into the trash fish farming industry lately, so my figures be
slightly outdated, I'll give you that.

Not that it really matters where it came from anyway. What was your
point, that I may be slightly wrong by 2% , or that it's not a
trash fish (that can taste good?) I've already said that.

"82% of people do not brush their teeth at night".

How much to you want to bet those other 18% are going to get indignant
and sure as hell are going to post about it to try and prove it's not
true?

That's like the Catfish in the St. Johns River, here in Florida. There
are some that are unbelievably huge!

I once saw a carcass that some person left after cleaning the fish
that the head was an amazing 3 feet wide, without counting the spines.
The fish itself must have been HUGE like this world record catfish:

Catching catfish in the river here is so easy it crazy. Milk Jug tied
to the line so that the bait, rotten chicken livers, sits just above
the bottom. Then you tie the jug to a stout cord to pull it in when it
dips sharply. That's 100% USA catfish there!

Ranee, your tastes are spot on. I read that this fish is used to keep
clean
the ponds & holding ponds of other fish as they are a bottom feeder.
It said if they
are labeled Pacific, they are from the south east, China, Taiwon,
VietNam,
Thailand, and that area, and ARE used for cleaning up other fishes
habitats. And no I can't provide a URL, wish I could, but it came
from one of the sites
that talks about food fish safety and what not to eat.

I have a good store brand that comes from Indonesia. They are
consistently good and never taste like iodine/bleach - like the gulf
shrimp do. Consistently priced at $4.50-$6/lb depending on size.

I'll have to take your word for it. But it is CERTAINLY not the
majority.

Fact still remains that the vast majority of people eating Tilapia are
eating fish from Asia (to answer your original question).

Congratulations. You are one of the petty minority. You set me up on
a technicality.
