I think the tilapia may be tasteless.....but I am still doing boot camp and Betty Ford since my return from a southern winter....and the calories on this dinner are good

It won't be tasteless if you end up with the tilapia that  taste like dirt.    I refuse to buy it as there is no way of knowing which ones will taste that way.  Used to enjoy the mild taste of it until I got one purchase of muddy ones then never again.

I've never heard of a dirt tilapia - is this common? I had no idea.

Very common and it's not that there is anything wrong with the fi****'s just from their environment.  They look the same, smell the same and when you cook them, some taste good and others taste like dirt.  I had that happen to me and was like wtf so googled and actually lots of hits on OH about it LOL  Some people say catfish taste like dirt but I have never had any that I buy taste like dirt and we buy it often.  It's one of my favourite fish to buy from the fish monger.

I guess I've been lucky!

I am so glad you posted this Tracey.....I had no idea ....and this answers why  sometimes its delicious and sometimes ughh.....

If its one of the "dirty" ones.....a little more habanero might help eh?

More habanero wouldn't help me.  I just see tilapia now and all I can taste is dirt so I will never ever buy it again.  

It has never been one of my "go-to" fish selections either....trying to get my DH to eat more fish so thought this might be a good mild choice for him....
