Thought this would help. A tilapia is fresh water fish and the name Tilapia is the common name for nearly a hundred species of cichlid fishes from the tilapiine cichlid tribe.
Where I come from its a fish eaten on a regular basis but after watching Mike Rowe's dirty jobs.. The tilapia is beginning to lose its appeal.. Watch it and you'd understand.

Ellen-I love burnt butter on my popcorn!

tilapia is a fish served pretty often where i live. we serve it with the skin on, though, and with this thing called chai poh which is very fragrant and gives a lovely flavour. i think it's made out of vegetables but i'm not very sure.. it's an asian style of cooking though.

Sorry I meant to write West coast

Hi Ellen, I love the Tilapia myself, But I hven't eaten in a while, I haven't eaten since I saw an episode of Dirty Jobs where Mike Rowe showed how they clean dirty water, and At some point it involves fish eating the dirty stuff out of the water, and one of the fish species used was Tilapia, then Mike mentioned that the fish after a certain size were sold for Human consumption.
Kind of grossed me out and I have taken to politely turning the page when I see it offered at restuarants now.
I figured I'd share the info, by the way the place Mike was at was somewhere in the east coast
eek

Why don't we get the recipes... It looks soooo good!

is that GREEN fiji water?

Ok gag! Sorry Ellen but I hate seafood. It gags me. It doesn't even look good to me, but, hey I hope you enjoy your lunch anyway!

Ok that said, that quinoa, I just can't get passed the fact that it looks like umm...little Prophylactics..I'm sorry I said it but that's what it looks like!!!! Sorry if I killed it for ya but the green and yellow string beans are delish!!!!

hey ellen! tilapia is a fish. it's typically grown in Asian countries, particularly the Philippines, by which you can easily buy them everywhere. 3 mid-sizes tilapia would normally cost $1.85 or 80 pesos. It is usually cultivated in a pond using fresh water fish but there are some which grows them in salt water. It's very delicious! Try it steaming it with coconut milk, ginger and bell pepper. YUM-O!

Is that food?

Hi Ms. Ellen, nice lunch! Tilapia is a fish. One of its common name is "St. Peter's fish" because some believed that the Tilapia was the fish that Jesus used to feed the five-thousand on the Sea of Galilee. It also referred to as "the wonder fish." They are omnivore, they eat organic material, not other fish.

'Love your show!

Mimi from Philippines

I think the lunch looks great! I'd love to cook you lunch! Sesame seed encrusted tuna with a wasabi sauce (no I'd not make it spicy). Or a Vietnamese steak salad with Noc Mam Dressing, light on calories but so good and you get all the good calories with great taste. Oh and you'd have a ball trying to cook it with me :=).

Love the show and the lunches.

Hugs,
Sticks

Hey Ellen,
