Escapee Tilapia

[VGB]

Tilapia Might be generally bland but makes for a good fish curry as it doesn't go soggy and disintegrate. Something along these lines works well:

I've eaten them a few times both in Malaysia and Thailand. I always found the meat a bit soft. Maybe they'll taste better after living in the lake for a few months.

I''m not a great fish eater but it does carry the flavour well, I also lob in some prawns.

Ok have to catch one now. Making a good curry here is not a problem!

Fresh spices make all the difference, how are you set for coconuts?

[Paul Arden]

Pretty good thanks.

Good fish to eat, they sell them in our local stores.
Need to be fried slowly in olive oil/garlic and mixed herbs.
They raise them in fish hatcheries. Which is interesting as they use the Tilapia to clean out the raceways after other species have been harvested or used for stocking. In otherwords they eat the shit.
