coat with mayonase, put tilapia on a pine board, bake in the oven at 350 for 25 minutes. Remove from oven, take fishoff of the board, throw the fish away and eat the board.

No matter that some on this Forum do not eat Talapia, according to statistics it is the fourth most consumed fish in the U.S., behind, Shrimp, Salmon and canned Tuna.

That's because tilapia is a cheap source of protein available almost anywhere year round. That does not mean it is healthful which it obviously is not.

Personally I try to stick to wild salmon rather than farmed salmon because the farmed salmon has almost six times the omega 6 and three times the saturated fat of wild salmon. Wild vs Farmed Salmon — Can Some Fish Be Bad for You?

Now I dearly love fresh tuna, especially raw in sushi and sashimi, but I also enjoy canned tuna in a tuna salad. Unfortunately, I prefer the Albacore (white) tuna in water to light chunk tuna which tastes too fish-oily to me. On the downside the Albacore contains more mercury as it comes from larger fish. The thought of mercury poisoning from eating a lot of tuna or other mercury containing fish might be troubling, especially for children, but most adults can eat a few cans of canned tuna a week if they so choose.

In our house our most consumed fish is canned salmon cooked into salmon patties.*

1 can pink wild Alaska salmon drained.
2 Tablespoons sweet onion diced fine.
1 egg
1/2 sleeve Ritz crackers crushed. Mix together and form into three patties.

Fry in small amount of oil until brown, turn the heat down and cook for five more minutes on each side and serve with catsup. We have a starch and a green vegetable too and a salad.

I think we love this because it was a childhood favorite in Ohio when we were growing up. People who lived close to the ocean probably don't eat this. It is yummy.

We have salmon patties probably about once every three weeks*. Talapia,about once every two months, Fresh salmon, about every three months. We eat a lot of chicken, and not as much beef and pork. We eat a large amount and variety of vegetables and fruits, fresh and frozen and canned. Rarely have steak or even grill our burgers.

I love shellfish but I am very allergic to it. So because I am the cook, the others are missing out on it too.
