That's an informative site. I also found this:
http://fishcooking.about.com/od/meet.../p/tilapia.htm

This is what I might like about this fish: (Nice and boring; doesn't
taste like fish.)
One thing I don't like about tuna is it's richness. I must be
allergic to it or something, because I don't feel very well after I
eat a tuna steak.

What does tilapia taste like? Well...not much. It is very lean, very
white and very high in protein. And it has almost no flavor of its
own. Personally, I find it boring. Give me a rich, fatty tuna or even
an anchovy any day. Tilapia doesn't "taste like fish," which is why it
is so popular in the United States.
