Great w/fresh lemon juice

I like Tilapia.

I lose resolution when I blow up the image.
Who makes it, and how do you prepare it?

[Eyeball Chambers]

Make sure you get it packed in water, and not crude oil.  Too fattening...

They're by "Sea Cuisine"
Oven bake and serve
NOT a dieter's entree'

The stores I've seen them at do not carry them by the frozen fish stick and other boxed "TV dinners".  They're usually in the frozen case by other fresh frozen seafood. $5.99

Cool.
Thanks!

about 6 years ago I was getting individually wrapped frozen tilapia for about $1 a piece.  The fish guy at the Vons would order cases for people.  Then all of a sudden Tilapia became the "in" fish and was showing up everywhere and the price doubled and they couldn't even get in the individually wrapped ones in anymore.  It sucked.

Isn't tilapia a farmed fish

Yep, but demand went up big time over the last few years.  Once restaurants catch on the grocers get the shaft

I try to avoid farmed fish for regular consumption although sometimes there's no getting around it.

Muscles were the same way.
They used to be cheaper than clams, and honestly, I preferred them over the latter.
I don't know what made them gain popularity (perhaps Food Network), but now there are times when muscles cost as much as stupid clams.

I wish I lived in - or closer to - a coastal state that harvests oysters.
They're by far my favorite, and I wish I could get them more often.
Although I love eating them raw, I've never tried an oyster recipe I didn't like.

I have memories of visiting relatives in Florida and my dad sitting around with his brothers with a big ice chest full of fresh oysters.  There was lots of beer and Tabasco sauce.

I never tried Tabasco; that sounds good.
If I put anything on them raw, it’s usually just a splash of lemon and/or sea salt.
However, I only eat them uncooked when I know they're fresh.

There’s a rule about which ones are "safe"/"safer" to eat - something about the waters from which they are harvested - but I’ve always been willing to throw caution to the wind for good, east coast oysters.

They’re also very tasty when thrown on the grill and cooked in the shell.
