Tilapia gets a bad rap. As a fish, it's not any worse than any other fish. The problem is that most of the farm raised Tilapia comes from China, and the Chinese feed their fish shit from other farm animals. If you can find farm raised Tilapia from other countries or wild caught Tilapia, it's much better.

Bruh, they serve Spam in HI like it's a delicacy. Ya'll don't have any room to talk. lol

All jokes aside, that's no different from catfish, and people down south love some catfish.

Edit: Wait, are you sure you're talking about Tilapia. Now that I think about it, as far as I know, wild Tilapia is only found around Africa. I know some places in the South Pacific have made farms. If ya'll are finding Tilapia in dirty ass water in HI, that's because someone is putting them there not because its where they want to be. And any fish will eat shit if that's all they have.

The State introduced several varieties of tilapia into Hawaii in the 1950s to the 1960s to control aquatic vegetation. It also wanted to use it as baitfish for the tuna fishing industry. The tilapia has now firmly established itself within all bodies of waters in Hawaii. This includes brackish water areas such as estuaries and harbors. Tilapia is one of the most widely eaten fish in America as well as in many parts of the world. But, for a number of reasons, the tilapia in Hawaii doesn’t enjoy the same reputation.

Its Introduction into Hawaii
There are a number of reasons for this. Unlike many other places, many in Hawaii consider the tilapia as a rubbish fish. When the State first brought them into Hawaii, it released them in irrigation ditches, reservoirs, canals and other muddy bodies of water. Since the tilapia lived in such environments, it’s not surprising that they tasted like the water they came from. Since tilapias can proliferate in a wide range of conditions, there has always been an overabundance of this fish. They can even thrive in polluted water. The tilapia’s reputation for being able to thrive in polluted water doesn’t do wonders for the fish’s reputation.

60 minutes did a piece about that on Lobster a few months ago.



Basically saying that lobsters were looked at as searoaches back in the day, but somehow managed to become popular during the depression or something.

That explains a lot. The perception of Tilapia does seem to vary from place to place. Basically it's a hearty fish that can live anywhere. That doesn't mean anything in Africa or other places where it's raised in a clean environment specifically for food. However, it seems like they had a different intention for it in HI, and that's what led to it having a bad rep.

My wife said the same thing last time we were there. It's true though. I don't really get it. You can have a Wendy's and a CFA side by side, meaning they are taking from the same pool of people for employees. You go in the Wendy's they might be slow and unprofessional as shit. I don't care where you are, you go to the CFA and that shit runs like a well oiled engine.

I'm also convinced they put crack in their chicken. I have no other explanation how they can have such simple food and it be so damn popular. Their chicken sandwich is literally just a hunk of meat and a pickle slice between two pieces of bread, but you go there and see those lines and you'd think it was something mindblowing.
