Walmart Tilapia Vs. Costco

[D-Ballin]

I know this is kind of a dead thread, but figured I'd throw this out there:

The kirkland tilapia "loins" that come frozen are the only tilapia I've ever been able to stomach. Honestly, I don't even know that it's tilapia. Either that, or they are genuinely getting a seriously different quality of fish from everyone else, and a much larger sized animal. I used buy the fuck out of them when I lived in Colorado. Costco is not convenient for me now, or I would still be getting them, assuming they still sell them.

Every other piece of tilapia I've had is fertilizer grade, at best. I stick with swai, or real fish when I have the budget for it.

What about all the chicken everybody eats? They're not running around in a farm somewhere until it's "their time". It's crazy how they raise the chickens so fast! I'll eat shit if it'll make me grow!

I raise my own chickens ...so mine kinda are lol. It's not the most cost effective thing to do but I like having them around and I get lots and lots of eggs. Big taste difference too.

My girl works at Costco we get our tilapia there and at stater bros.i was actually gonna try wallmart soon costco pretty pricey stuff.

I can't handle the taste or smell of fish. Due to a bad experience with a girl I force feed it, so I use wal mart to save $$ But imagine Costco would be better quality.

Speaking of Costco and fish for any of you guys that eat a lot of salmon give costco's steelhead trout a shot. You won't regret it. Same nutrition and it tastes exactly the same buts it's half the price.

I like swali on portion has 30g of protein if you put apple cider finger or lemons over the fish when cooking it will kill the fish smell

I soak it in milk for a hour and it gets rid of the smell and fishy taste.

That's how I do it as well, I hate fish but hey we got to eat it every now and then.

You learn something new on Meso everyday will give it a try. Then I won't have too think of the chick I banged every time I eat lol

I threw all my talapia out after reading a recent thread on here regarding said fish.

Nearly all tilapia or swai found in any grocery store will be aquacultured. These two species in particular (if it is true swai) are not known for being the cleanest or healthiest options available regardless of their purchase location.
