The first thing to do when creating or eating a veggie burger is to
take the "burger" out of its name.

Its not a burger to anyone who likes beef burgers and relates "Burger"
to beef. The veggie patty will disappoint them.

A veggie patty can be a substitute to those with health problems that
FORCE them to eat less meat. Instead of whining about the fact that it
isn't meat, it can be spiced up and served creatively to make it a
filling and tasty meal.

Not all healthy food has to be bland or gooey. A veggie burger can be
made in a thousand ways. Make them yourself with only the flavors you
like in them. Bake, fry or grill them to a doneness that pleases you.

Put lots of condiments on them to make it taste like something more
enjoyable to you.

If you just don't like them at all, then don't eat them. Eat something
else that's good for you or something bad for you in moderation.

As far as Tilapia, I love to just saute it in no-salt butter gently
until done. Then serve with a mild tartar sauce and side dishes that
are also mild.

Tilapia is such a mild tasting fish that if you use any seasoning on
it, you simply won't taste the fish. That's cool if someone HAS to eat
it for some reason and just hates fish flavor. Or season it with
something you really love, because that will be all you taste.
