Redfish can be commericially harvested in other states' public waters where they are not protected and sold in Texas. Tilapia are extremely fast growing, eat a vagetatian diet (cheap to feed) and can be sold at a considerable margin for profit. Crappie are fast growing, but not nearly on the scale tilapia or catfish are in regards to growth. You will starve before you can raise crappie in ponds for a profit.

Does anyone think Talapia taste really "fishy" and smell that way too? Maybe I didn't get a fresh one, but my gosh it was no where near the great taste of Crappie or Catfish for that matter.

Quote from a "cuzin):
I had a "nay sayer" challenge me about the taste of crappie. I fried a piece and put it on top of his head and his tongue dang near beat his forehead to death trying to get to it.
I eat catfish a few times a year just for old times sake. I still like it very much,and like fishing for them, I just like crappie much more.

Tom It is all about water quality, the ones from Lake Fairfield were great, some that I have eaten at resturants taste muddy, others were fine. If they tasted " fishy " they were not fresh or were mishandled somewhere along the line. After watching the " dirty jobs " segment where they were raising hybrids and tilapia and using the tilapia to eat up the hybrid poop, I don't ever order tilapia anymore. MO

this ignorant hardhead guy from my work pissed me off... As i learned from here, i told my friend that you can't buy crappie at the store cuz they are game fish and illegal to harvest them for commercial reason. He overheard and told me that we don't see crappie cuz there'no demand for it and it doesn't taste good and that's the reason. What is the verdict here? are we both wrong or i am wrong? I need to know for sure now. If i am right, please send me some link to support that.. Thanks. crappie are excellent tasting.

Which fish tastes best, or even good for that matter to each person is as personal as any other food. I for one do not want to eat octopus, monkfish or any dark meat fish, etc. etc. but there are many that love those seafood and different fish. Crappie to many of us is the best fish there is to fry up with a side of fries and cole slaw and hushpuppies.
Just let those "nay sayers" keep on eating what they prefer, don't give them a piece of crunchie fried Crappie, leaves more for the rest of us.

Funny as some cultures will not eat Talipia. Japanese put them in the Koi ponds to clean up the all the excrememt, so they are considered trash fish.
Here its just the opposite. Koi/Carp are the trash fish and talipia are good eats... Go figure.
