PSA: Costco Tilapia apparently likes to be "fully cooked"..

[fleabag]

I've been cooking some Tilapia smothered in basil sauce which btw is pretty fucking tasty and despite the Tilapia tasting like it was cooked through and through, if I don't cook it long enough, I'll get gut wrenching stomach pains which take a few hours to dissipate (4 hours+?). So instead of cooking this Tilapia in the toaster oven for 10 minutes from a non pre-heated temperature, I now cook it for 13 minutes. It tastes exactly the same whether 10 minutes or 13 minutes, just as hot and everything, yet somehow 10 minutes = tasty but eventual gut wrenching pain and 13 minutes = tasty and no adverse side effects except posting on ATOT about proper cooking time of Tilapia.


I guess the PSA sums things up like this: Just because it feels hot through and through, tastes great and everything, doesn't mean that it's fully cooked..

Tilapia is the cockroach of fish. I have seen them thriving in storm drains filled with garbage and discarded car batteries. And now you're paying to eat them. Disgusting . Everyone knows this.

Tilapia is pretty much bottom shelf fish. Soon people will be eating carp.

 

[AndroidVageta]

Tuna FTW!

 

[SP33Demon]

Where was it caught? Was this frozen? Maybe it wasn't properly handled and traveled a large distance.

A few of the really really cheap frozen fish are being caught and shipped from China. I won't buy that sht.

Tilapia is pretty tasteless but a firm white meat fish and a good source of cheap protein.

With the advent of Aquaponics........ tilapia will help feed people in countries that are in dire need of food.

Cheers,

yeah, when i have tilapia (it's cheap!), I have to season the hell out of it.

The rainbow from Costco is one of the best meats you can get, and I'm a devout steak eater. I am very annoyed that the US stores only have whole fish with the head and spine still in. In Canada they sell the 1/2 fillets that are just amazing, little butter, little lemon and pure goodness.

The ribeyes are my fav though, about the same price as Kroger but much better cut and much better meat.

Tilapia is what the real fish wipe their asses with.

Which is why it's a great fish for fish tacos! Cut into small pieces and throw some blackened seasoning on there.

We get the 1/2 fillets here in VA

Truth. Tiliapia is shitfish.

People pay out the nose at times for lobster and it's a fucking bug that eats rotting crap off the ocean floor. They used to feed it to prisoners because it was such a lowly food, now people treat it as a minor delicacy. So maybe the rise of the Tilapia is due soon as well?

 

[rasczak]

people pay good prices for halibut and it's bottomfeeder as well. the truth of the matter is, most fish are indiscriminate about what they eat. they suck everything up and shit gets in their mouth.

Catfish are the delicious of fish. They do have a habit of eating random crap off the bottom of lakes though. Still Delicious.

You don't see too many children who will willingly eat fish.
