In Reply to: RE: why does talapia fish get such a bad rap? posted by Green Lantern on July 21, 2021 at 18:21:42
I suspect the deep frying had something to do with it being tasty. ;) Was it battered? That helps, too.To us, tilapia is just "blah" with a slight sweetness. Coating it with a little salt, pepper and flour, maybe an egg wash, and then pan frying it in a mixture of butter and light olive oil can also make it acceptable. Sprinkle a little grated parmessan near the end to help it a little.
My regular fish preferences are salmon, cod, pollock, haddock, and Gorton's breaded/battered pollock frozen fillets. Sure, I'd like to include halibut in that list, but at $18+ per pound, not so much. But my most favorite fish is deep fried battered lake perch. Yum! Unfortunately, I can't find it here in Texas. I gotta go up to Wisconsin for that. Fortunately, I'll be going sometime in the Fall. Can you say "Friday night fish fry"?!

I occasionally find redfish and snapper in the meat counter. My last great find was a slab of pompano. I bought a whole (one side) filet that was about two feet long. I cut it into four equal portions and blackened it in a cast iron skillet in my Primo cooker heated as hot as it would go. It made four meals, so wasn't that expensive. I know that they farm redfish somewhere in south Texas.
As far as fried fish goes, it's hard to beat thin fried catfish.

Just the word "catfish", along with the way they look, has been enough to turn me off for as long as I can remember. Maybe I should try it sometime, battered and deep fried. Just don't tell me it's catfish.

Catfish fillets you will find in the store will just look like tilapia fillets only pinker. Forget what they look like live. If you go by looks, what do you think of crabs, shrimp and crawfish. Hogs rolling in the mud don't look that tasty either, but they are.
LOL! I get your point.
