That sounds quite good.

1. Remove tilapia from wrapping.
2. Open door under sink, throw wrapping in trash can.
3. Follow by throwing tilapia in trash can.
4. Close door under sink.
5. Cook a steak.

I find Talapia to be a mild white fish. Not fishy at all. Here are some other ideas, Tomwed.

We treat tilapia like salmon; bake basted with oil and vinegar and Old Bay seasoning. A salesperson at Ancient Olive recommended Blood Orange flavored oil and Mission Fig vinegar as a combination for fish, and it's become our favorite.
Ignore the food snobs, and eat what you like. Life is terminal no matter what you eat!

We had a New Zealand leg of lamb with rosemary from my garden, French cut blue lake green beans almondine, red potatoes roasted with olive oil and fresh garlic, a butter lettuce salad, and apple pie! I rarely eat cake. I find it way too sweet for my taste unless it comes from a Japanese bakery. Sorry.

I love cake! Good-old American cake with buttercream icing. I rarely eat it--last time was a piece of yellow birthday cake with delicious chocolate icing in august. But if you put a cake and a pie in front of me, I'd go for the cake.

I'll eat your cake, Gracie, but not your Velveeta! Or either of the two of your beefs. On the other hand, lamb... YUM!

Back on topic, sort of... there are conflicting opinions about whether tilapia is bad for you or not. Consider this: https://www.aboutseafood.com/tilapia-eat-this-not-that/

It's such a mild fish. I would VERY lightly dust with flour seasoned with a little paprika, pan-saute it in a little butter-olive oil mixture, and add a splash of white wine and lemon juice.

I know you to not eat meat, C.

So I am surprised you eat lamb and would skip "my beef".

I am very surprised at people not liking Chuck Roast. If people know to cook Chuck Roast and Brisket, low and slow, they will find them to be succulent and tender, and a generous marbling of fat, not only adds flavor but renders down. I use a packet of dry lipton onion soup mix, add about a half a cup of water to my trusty Dutch oven. I think the Chuck Roast yesterday was about three pounds. I put it in the oven at 275 with the lid tightly on and didn't look at it again for five hours... and it was very tender and not stringy at all. Every one went back for seconds.

I am quite astonished to hear other people's view on foods I have eaten all of my life. Chuck Roast was chosen for sauerbraten as well.

I had an aunt that seemed always to serve any kind of meat so tough and chewy that it made you tired to chew it. I consider myself to be a decent cook.

I prepare a leg of lamb by inserting many, many, many garlic cloves into the meat and adding rosemary. Again I cook it low and slow. Rare meat isn't enjoyed by my crew. We do serve with mint jelly.

I leave it in the sun for a day or two. When it gets real stinky, I put it on a trotline and catch myself a mess of catfish.

Many friends from the east coast have NEVER eaten catfish.

I think the catfish at the Lighthouse is very good. I am flinching as I type waiting to be told how I lack good taste. I never ate Talapia until I moved to Florida.

You need to take out a loan to buy Cod and Halibut, which were my previous choices. Why are they so expensive here?

I enjoy trying local delicacies wherever I am. While in Florida I particularly enjoy Pompano which is found in warm Atlantic coastal waters. It is a delicate fish so I prefer it freshly caught, not frozen. Florida pompano - Wikipedia

Perhaps Pompano might be available at Publix at certain times of the year.

Slice it thin and lay thin slices on a mound of sushi rice. Dip it in soy sauce mixed with wasabi.
