Gross...

I was at the Burrito Co. in Santa Fe some weeks back and fish tacos was the lunch special. The fish was tilapia. The description made it sound like this would be a delicious choice but I am from Hawaii and I'll tell you now: Kamaaina don't eat tilapia. We look at tilapia the way the rest of the mainland looks at Spam. It's junk, it's gross, it's crap. Now here I am at a Flying Star in Albuquerque and tilapia is on the menu again. This cracks me up. I think I need to do some googling and find out if anyone who grew up near the Pacific Ocean actually likes tilapia. I suspect it's a land lubber's fish.
