Re: Tilapia/Trout fillet....
Well, that's when you know American schooling has failed. The only learning I've ever done, is teaching myself. In over 16 years of schooling, while in 8th grade I learned more than I had in every other grade combined, thanks to amazing teachers who were aware of how to help me learn while I had this condition that kept me from understanding. Only one year out of 16 were fruitful.

I don't have much confidence in the processing from these other countries.
The fish you have mentioned using before (Canadian or USA) is not nearly as clean and safe as farmed tilapia from Indonesia. One can say it's just one of their rules to only eat fish caught at midnight on the summer solstice at a certain latitude and time of day and it would make about as much sense as your rule.
Remember the worms you showed us from the fish you were feeding your snakes? Just try to find that in imported tilapia. Not going to happen. Imported fish goes through more thorough inspection and scrutiny than domestic and tests much lower in mercury and other contaminants. Like, almost none. I prefer hard science and real testing with consistent results over some rule based on some unfounded belief or superstition.

Re: Tilapia/Trout fillet....
fish-farming, for the most part, involves high density populations, with high ammonia production, rendering them prone to disease, fungal infections, and parasites, and frequently bombarded with high levels of pharmaceuticals
tilapia is a fast growing fish, and as such much lower in toxins because it simply does not live long enough to accumulate them from the environment, and being primarily vegetarian, they don't get much from their prey
they are however given hormones to turn them male, and the American farm raised ones are fed a corn-based diet, just like everything else - they're not much different from beef, just with underwater feedlots

Re: Tilapia/Trout fillet....
yeah, I know, it kind of sucks
my understanding of Trader Joe's is that they do check their sources, so I tend to trust their offerings
