i don't watch the 'where food comes from' stuff. hard enough peeking into the kitchen of the local restaurant...

Tilapia comes from ponds in Florida - ours has tons of them. I wouldn't eat it!

Good call, I worked in kitchen's at the shore during my college years. That's why I cook at home.

is it worse than any other farmed fish like salmon and trout? I try to buy wild caught whenever possible but sometimes not much to pick from

All farmed fish is questionable, but when tilapia was the subject of that episode, Mike Rowe made a comment that has stuck with me. Not that I don't eat other bottom feeding seafood.

Was that farm raised or line caught? Either way, looks tasty.

It’s a lot more complicated than wild caught vs farmed.
I know the comments are about Tillapia, but on sustainability and quality it’s not so cut and dry.

we use that resource quite a bit since visiting the aquarium a few years back
My point was that there's nothing wrong with either, just need to be an informed consumer and know how your fish were sourced

Normally I will brine the ribs but was short on time did 5 racks. The salmon was an experiment I did a piece earlier with the ribs but it was a little dry so did these 2 later at lower temps for 3 hours. The piece I tried was pretty good but next time I may cure then smoke

i've never brined ribs. overnight? just a saltwater brine?

Apple juice sea salt water then seasoning depending on my mood. Makes the ribs extra juicy I usually soak them 6-18 hours, so good def made a difference not bringing them a little dry.

Prepping the lamb for tomorrow




Hot damn. So psyched for this-
I love an Easter at the grill.

Per usual, MiL picked up the leg o lamb.
Once again, she nailed it-
9lbs for 5 people. Lol.
That should cover it.

Tilapia is a trash fish that someone figured out how to market outside of the developing world. Kind of like if figuring out how to market Sunnies, and tilapia is nutritionally one of the worst fish to eat. You can grow tilapia in a cesspool. I personally don’t eat any fresh water fish I haven’t caught myself out of clean water, except for smoked eel, and they’re anadromous. Stick to wild saltwater fish.
