What I was mentioning was a distinctly moldy taste in "southern fried
fish" I had at Golden Corral... perhaps they weren't careful to rid it
of all the fat...?  It had a fairly mild breading, dunno about any
marinade (but possible), didn't use any sauce with it.   It appears that
some people may be more sensitive to the "muddy" taste, too.

Perhaps what I've had in the past came from that source... :)

Given Wegmans' purported care in choosing their suppliers, their frozen
tilapia and swai fillets are likely quite safely fed... however, I still
haven't been very impressed with the taste etc... I prefer turbot (only
available fresh, in season), trout (likewise) and salmon.  Wegmans has a
prepared tilapia on their hot foods table (and as an option for their $6
meals), made with a crust of parmesan and garlic that is pretty tasty,
though...

... Why do they keep moving my paperwork from the dining-room table?
