RABBITS OF FRESH WATER IN AFRICA AND ELSEWHERE
A couple of Red Tilapia - Southern Australia is lucky as in most places the water is too cold for Tilapia. At least they taste better than Carp but do not fight as well.

I have seen Tilapia on a few restaurant menus around the world. I have never tried it myself.

Sad to say they are also in several rivers in Western Australia as well.

It is terrible they are spreading in Australian waterways. They are super tough fish that can go into saltwater and get to different rivers via the sea. I have eaten them a number of times...they are very nice to eat.

they are staple food in quite a lot of asian countries.rodderslw wrote:It is terrible they are spreading in Australian waterways. They are super tough fish that can go into saltwater and get to different rivers via the sea. I have eaten them a number of times...they are very nice to eat.
the only good thing about them spreading is that atleast they are edible, unlike carp (which i know some people do eat as well)

Re: RABBITS OF FRESH WATER IN AFRICA AND ELSEWHERE
Ive had tilapia once at a mates house party. Theyre philippines and had made a sweet and sour dish out of the fish, sadly i ended up only eating the sweet and sour sauce with my rice. Everyone els enjoyed it so it must be just me. Compared to carp, they have less bones but both still stinks of fishy smell.

Interestingly they found a virus last year that is threatening Tilapia stocks! If carp herpes virus is successful, we might take the same route with Tilapia, of course depending on the characteristics of the virus.
