I do know what cod tastes like. I've only eaten one tilapia in my life
and am unlikely to taste more. The important part of my family hates it
and I don't argue. But it was cheap and so am I.
Which reminds me, I believe tilapia live in extremely poor water. I know
Lahontan Cutthroat Trout do and although I love trout, Lahontan
Cutthroat tastes poor because of the alkaline water they live in.
They're not even good pickled. They overpower the pickling agent.
