Raised correctly, they are excellent and compare with flounder and whiting.<br />I know, because I have raised them, before the state permitting process became so crazy strict.<br /><br />This is a perfect opportunity to buy local, buy American, and support a small farmer.<br />Or better yet, grow your own...Two things you promote regularly on the Porch.<br /><br />In most of FL, you don't need a permit ... I am one county over the no permit line ... arrrrghhh. <br /><br />Around the world, tilapia feed millions of people and provide a living for small farmers, simply because they are "crowdable" and so prolific. Feed to edible protein conversion is much higher with fish than fowl, swine, or beef.<br />Your supermarket chickens are raised in horrible crowded, filthy conditions and your supermarket cows are fed chicken manure as a protein supplement.<br />Yummy.<br /><br />Personally, a tilapia from a clean ditch sounds pretty good compared to that.R.Powershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04905593499136090763noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23068833.post-394000753571854352012-07-19T23:16:38.775-07:002012-07-19T23:16:38.775-07:00Send him over to Tampa or S FL to hunt swamp eels....Send him over to Tampa or S FL to hunt swamp eels.

Friend years ago told me about a story he'd read in the paper in NC about a barbecue place that served only chicken, and was out in the fields somewhere. Apparently it was excellent, and they had no utensils. When asked about this, the proprietor stated, "If we gave these people forks, there'd be food flyin' all over the place."czarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00848336357897046488noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23068833.post-32103062602731418822012-07-17T18:29:04.531-07:002012-07-17T18:29:04.531-07:00Aunty: I am busy trying to bask in your eminence a...Aunty: I am busy trying to bask in your eminence and unpack your labels.<br /><br />I am also trying to apply the following phrase to the czarist household, and I am coming up stumped: "Aunty's job in all this is to keep his masculine spirits up."<br /><br />While I seem to lack most things considered masculine, I don't see anything particularly feminine going on either. Except I weep at plays, although not musical theatre, unless my kids are performing. Then all bets are off.<br /><br />They always have tilapia swimming around at Your DeKalb Farmers Market, which Chick9 can probably back me up on. I never cared where they came from.

Summers are his downtime (too hot to test out in a switch yard), so he's restless and eyeing the squirrels as targets. I'm all, whatever.
