Tilapia and the dirt flavor

[El Diablo Blanco]

I'm not sure what it is about Tilapia but no matter where I get it, fresh or frozen, there is a slight "dirt" taste to it.  I can't pinpoint what it is but it seems unique to it.  Anyone else experience this?

[El Diablo Blanco]

I decided to google it and there are dozens of sites with people saying the same thing like the quote below

". I used to avoid eating it because it always tasted a bit like dirt to me. This was before tilapia farming became really big in the US and the tilapia was imported from somewhere in Asia. The dirt taste isn't really strong for some people but I really noticed it"

I don't get the dirt taste but can't stand the odor.

Bodybuilders seemed to support this fish but it's more of a Nebrew fish.

Yes true. Bodybuilding Hebrews tend to go toward the Tilapia because it's cheap and it's a stinky fish...

The dirt taste comes from its farmed, unnatural diet.

[Grape Ape]

It's a poop fish

If you compare Tilapia and Orange Roughy, what fish promotes the best discharges? (of peace)

Tilapia is not oily like Orange Roughy.  tilapia in most cases ends up pretty dry when cooked.  Yeah, I've heard stories of clear oil squirts doing squats from bodybuilders that ate a lot of Orange Roughy

If you like the greasy booty like I do, orange roughy for that nice sharty, alli-esque grease slider.

Tilapia has a dirt flavor because its farmed raised in China. A lot of it comes from China. Best tilapia is from the U.S  or Costa Rica

Could you say that both the Tilapia and the Orange Roughy are Poop Fishes?

If it's coming out of Asia, it lived on pig and chicken manure and raw sewage.

See?  It's a poop fish.

Try some salmon instead.  The flavor blows away Tilapia and most other fish IMO.

I only eat stuff that had fur or feathers.

That's some weird kind of animal.

I suppose if you fried it up, wrapped it in bacon, and gave me a combo with a beer and some fries, I'd try it.

[kreator]

i avoid anything that is farm grown regarding fish, especially if it comes from asia, it's crap

Alfredo sauce and Tilapia goes incredibly well together.   If you find plain Tilapia bland, pour a little bit of low fat Alfredo Sauce over top, it makes it 100% better.
