Tilapia is mild and fairly cheap at the fish market in my neighborhood at $2.79/lb. I include it in my diet year round.

I do like tilapia, unfortunately it's looking like one of those farmed products that may do more harm than good. With atlantic cod all but wiped out, sea bass and roughy fast headed that way, we're in trouble when it comes to fish. But I do like tilapia. #aslap2lt# #smileybusted4nh#

But I do like tilapia. #aslap2lt# #smileybusted4nh# I was just going to say that Orange Roughy is severely depleted here in the Southern Oceans-it has been SO overfished its not funny and we don't even get any here because it all goes offshore..it won't be long til its no more! I like one we have called Warehou,its nice and firm and yields about 30g protein per 4 oz Yum!!!

The ratio of omega-6 to omega-3 is 11:1 where salmon is 1:1 so if you eat fish for its health benefits dont eat tilapia.Tilapia has higher levels of potentially detrimental long-chain omega-6 fatty acids than 80-percent-lean hamburger, doughnuts and even pork bacon. New research suggests the combination could be particularly bad for patients with heart disease, arthritis, asthma and other diseases involving overactive inflammatory responses.

The Tilapia I have has ZERO fat at all per serving.. Not arguing your point at all, just stunned.

New research suggests the combination could be particularly bad for patients with heart disease, arthritis, asthma and other diseases involving overactive inflammatory responses. That's an old study that gets debunked more every day. Last July from the Mayo Clinic, for example: July 16, 2008 2:50 p.m. Catfish and tilapia: Healthy or harmful? 9 comments posted Read comments | Post a comment By Jennifer Nelson, M.S., R.D. and Katherine Zeratsky, R.D. There's an interesting discussion in this month's "Journal of the American Dietetic Association." What it boils down to is this: Is the fatty acid mix in catfish and tilapia healthy or harmful? The debate has even reached the popular press. Why all the fuss?
First off, since 2000, catfish and tilapia rank as two of the most popular fish consumed in the United States thanks mainly to their taste and relatively low expense. And both contain heart-healthy omega-3 fatty acids.
Consumption of these types of fatty acids is thought to be associated with reduction in blood pressure and reduced risk for certain cancers, inflammatory conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis, and even mental decline.
You may not have heard so much about a second ingredient they contain, omega-6 fatty acids. Like omega-3s, these are polyunsaturated and help lower blood cholesterol levels, however they are thought to play a role in clotting function, are inflammatory and susceptible to oxidation — thereby possibly increasing risk for blood clots, arthritis, inflammatory bowel disease and cancers.
The National Institutes of Health funded study by Weaver and colleagues looked at the favorable omega-3 fatty acid content and unfavorable omega-6 contents of commonly eaten fish and found that while catfish and tilapia contain both, they contain a high amount of unfavorable omega-6 fat.
They report that a 3-ounce portion of catfish or tilapia contains 67 and 134 milligrams respectively of the bad fat (the same amount of 80 percent lean hamburger contains 34 milligrams, and bacon 191 milligrams).
Does this mean you should give them up? No! The rebuttal by Harris is in the same journal. He says the logic of judging fatty fish by the amounts of omega-3 and omega-6 fat contents is flawed. Governmental and professional organizations haven't used such a ratio for years.
He also says that to think that eating catfish or tilapia — because of its high omega-6 content — is more risky in terms of heart disease than eating bacon or hamburger is "flawed."
My take? I'm going to continue to eat fish — at least twice weekly. I'm going to choose a variety of fatty fish — including tilapia and catfish along with others especially high in the good fats such as salmon, tuna and mackerelSince most tilapia is farm raised, it's true it's not as "healthy" as wild caught- but then, the same is true of every fish, including salmon. But unfortunately- it may very well be in my lifetime that fresh caught fish is a thing of the past.

Great info fit saw a quick news segment on TV and this is much better info. Fats and oils assist with joint function; skin, organs etc. Olive oil is also good for healthy fats for those who don't like fish. Look to the natives who only ate whale blubber they had the healthiest hearts of all.

And they don't make fish fat free Ya, I understand that. 1 gram is close enough to zero for me not to be concerned where the fat is even coming from. Thats all.
