I've quit the tilapia. where ever they farm it from that winds up in our supermarket it has a muddy taste to it (it is a type of catfish...) the fish monger won't even carry it...



try flounder if you can get it.

I'm fine with both...... don't taste any 'muddiness'.......... I get mine at the Korean Market, so my guess is it comes from Korea...
