Tilapia.

I don't know why, but they just piss me off.

[Mik]

Garbage fish.

[Jolly]

Domestic farm-raised catfish is better for you than imported tilapia.

[Klaus]

I know all the stories about how that fish is produced, but from a pure taste perspective, I don't find it so bad. Not a lot of specific taste, but a nice texture. Not my favorite white fish, but better than some others. Also, even the most nauseating stories about it are not as bad as how fish sticks are produced.

Our go-to white sea fish is Atlantic cod.

[Jolly]

Cod is good, but getting more expensive.

Barracuda is a nice white meat, providing you get the ones small enough not to give you neurotoxins and kill you.

Over here, it's very expensive if you buy it fresh. But I think it's a kind of fish that isn't that much worse if you buy it frozen, which makes it significantly more affordable.

I have relatives in Newfoundland. I can get all the cod I want free.

That's what she said...

[Larry]

You know what else pisses me off?

Injuns.

And white people.

Injuns and white people.

And bigots..

[Mik]

People are no damn good. Two-legged tilapia.

[Axtremus]

I like tilapia just fine, usually buy it in frozen filet form.
Thaw, add seasoning, bake in oven … fairly easy to prepare and fairly easy to get consistently good results.

Yep..

Oh - and people who lack a sense of humor. They piss me off....

[Mik]

Nah Ax has a great sense of humor. Otherwise he could not tolerate this lot.

[Jolly]

Ax is just another misfit toy on the island.

Me too. Never eat it. Russians at Uralmash Machine Works used tilapia in their industrial waste water treatment program. When we told them we used trout, their response was “we tried trout, but we found that they didn’t survive in our tertiary holding/discharge tanks, Tilapia on the other seem to do quite well…”

The tertiary waste water in question was a black as coffee. We had nothing further to say.

I wouldn’t even consider eating Tilapia. In the wild it thrives on hippo poo. Where there’s hippos there’s tilapia.

[Larry]

Hushpuppies piss me off too.

@larry

But I bet you like moccasins.

Nah. They piss me off too. I don't even own any and they still piss me off....
