Tilapia?

That would be a good choice then for you. Eat no fish. I cannot
trust you to be an arbiter of my taste, nor should you insist that
anything other than what you like is the only thing that is good.

The solution is to acquaint yourself with the Monterey Bay Aquarium's guide
to sustainable seafood, and follow its guidelines. I'm not evangelizing, but
I do feel that many fish are being irresponsibly demanded out of ignorance.
(Orange roughy, for example, is almost extinct because of rapacious
overfishing, but I still see it in the supermarket and on restaurant menus.
Why? Because people buy it, of course!)

I agree with your criticisms of tilapia, but there are some recipes which
can make it palatable. If you soak it in buttermilk you'll lessen the muddy
flavor. Tilapia works well in Vietnamese claypot recipes as well as in Thai
recipes for catfish. If you soak it in buttermilk and fry it, tilapia can
work acceptably well in fish tacos.

Have you ever actually SEEN a fish farm? Something other than what you read
online? I have. Arkansas is full of them (along with rice fields). The
ones I've seen are not overcrowded. I don't know what unhappy fish look
like but they didn't appear to be bothered. Chemicals? I'd rather eat farm
raised fish than try to eat fish pulled from the heavily polluted
Mississippi river.

No, my finger is fine. An accusation was leveled against Purina, and
links given that supposedly show Purina as being exclusively having
the problem. No mention of Purina was in either link.

I'm not searching through 20 *other* links to try to prove your case.
I'll just assume its nonsense until you provide what was asked for.

When you claim something, are asked for proof and provide no proof but
links that contain some sort of proof *somewhere* in the attached
links within the links you gave, it tends to make your argument pretty
lame and really unsupported. "Oh, here ya go. The information for MY
argument is buried somewhere in this list of links. Go find it
yourself." hahahaha, sorry, I'm not doing your work to support your
argument. I'll consider your argument unsupported with evidence until
you provide that evidence that shows Purina EXCLUSIVELY containing
problem ingredients. The problem, as I heard it, was with many types
of pet foods and only for a short time.

Thanks anyway. I know its nonsense anyway. I have had two cats who
have eaten Purina food for their entire lives. Ages 13 and 19. The 19
year old was as healthy as can be, right up to dying of old age
problems that were due at his age. The 13 year old is in fine health
and still eating his Purina food.

If the cats can live what are above average lengths of time, then I
guess all that bad stuff in the food didn't really hurt anything.

Or wait, yeah, only the food from Purina that MY cats ate was
unaffected, right? Sorry, couldn't resist.

I hate bashing of successful companies. The Walmart Bashing, The ATT
bashing, Purina Bashing....the list goes to any business that was
savvy enough to be a leader in industry and get very rich.

Hell, lets bash Bill Gates some more. He made what was the most
important discovery in the world until now and has been bashed for
being such a bad person to actually get rich from it. Bad Boy!

Everyone seems to love bashing anyone or any group that succeeds. It
gets boring to me. Whenever you hear of someone getting famous for
anything, the bashers are the next thing you hear.

Here's the bashers:

"I hate Walmart"

"I hate Microsoft"

"I hate Bill Gates"

"I hate AT&T"

etc, etc, etc, etc........

Hell, why not just say "I hate anyone who succeeds in business so I
can sound cool to all the other net bashers"?

ANY story that comes out that will put even the tiniest blame towards
ANYONE in business is jumped on by all the bashing junkies on the net
as gospel and exaggerated into a crime that deserves boycotting the
business by the entire planet.

How boring.

I agree with the problems of our own government and food policies,
however, that doesn't mean I want to ingest lead, melamine, plastic or
any number of the other things that are deliberately pumped into the
food supply in China. They are willing to deliberately (not even a we
didn't know this might happen, or there's a risk of this happening, but
deliberately using lead and other heavy metals, plastics, etc, that are
known poisons) poison their pets, their people and their babies. That
does not bode well for what they will send to other nations.

You like tilapia better than you like trout? (I guess you've never had trout
the way *I* make it!) I think I even like catfish better than I like
tilapia, but my favorite freshwater "fish" are crawfish and freshwater eel.
Sturgeon is being farmed in fresh water now, but also can have a muddy
taste.

I understand that you are worried about something that doesn't worry
me. That's life.

I probably worry about things that you don't as well. Again, life.

I hope both of our lives exceed the norm and are as happy as can be.

So far, I've outlived many and not lived as long as some. That works
for me.

I'm not wild about the pasty texture of tilapia but it should work very
well in dishes that use it in paste form. I'm betting the it would make
a very decent kamaboko i.e., fish cake. My guess is that in a few years,
tilapia will be the major fish used in the production of this fish
product in the US, mostly because it'll be readily available and cheaper
than the alternatives.
