I Captured the Biggest Tilapia

Why you do not eat fish? How about seafood?

@DaddyEvil Yeah, I remember now. Well, you can have some anti-histamine pills after eating them.

@Shavkat I don't like fish and I'm allergic to seafood.

It is nice to know. How do you cook it if you have some?

@Geoffmax, have you tasted that fish?

@marlina, haven't tasted that fish.

@cacay1 , I did, nothing exciting

@marlina We also consider this not to have them often.

In my country, it was not that pricey. How about there?

@franxav, it has the same name.

@Shavkat I don't know...I don't think tilapia has much cholesterol.

I agree with you. I assumed that it has less bad cholesterol if being cooked.

@snowy22315 I agree.

@Shavkat I haven't gone vegan; I do still consume some dairy and eggs at times, which do carry with them ethical issues. I became vegetarian for a variety of reasons. Pigs are as smart as dogs; cows have friends and love to play; I grew up playing with chickens. How could I choose to eat another sentient being? I started by cutting out certain things when I was in college due to them not being healthy, and it expanded. The health concerns, ethical issues, and environmental consequences of choosing to eat other creatures are horrendous. Humans have a choice in how to eat. We are not obligate carnivores, and our access to food (except in certain regions of the world) allow us choices that our distant ancestors did not have. There was a time when humans needed meat to survive; most of the world has moved well beyond that. As it currently stands, we are doomed to a 1.5 degree temperature rise; COP26 has made that clear. Meat is only one of the pieces to that, but it is there. So, too, are cheap flights, fast fashion, same-day shipping, space tourism... Essentially, every bit of modern life is driving us toward our doom. As it stands, there are reasonable people who are not certain that humans will be around in another 100 years.

@wilsongoddard That's the reason why my granny still lives at the age of 103. She chose to be a vegan. I also think that it is a good way to cleanse one's body by not eating meat.

That's good to know. Can I ask why you turned to be a vegan? Is it because of health conditions? I am sure your whiskers would love some fish meat in the house.

I do not like to eat this fish with soup. Or, even the other fishes.

@cacay1 I love grilling or frying them with some side dishes. I prefer having some shredded tomatoes or green mangoes, fish sauce, and extracted lemon juice.

@Shavkat But I was told it's tasty fish. Better cook in deep frying then beside you, Gibys or Red Horse

I am sure you can have it in one gulp.

@Bullshark That's nice to know.

@Shavkat Yes, but I do not do that. I chew my food...

If I am going to have a picnic at the lake or river, it would be nice to grill it.

@DocAndersen That would be yummy, too.

@Shavkat it is truly amazing grilled - we usually put a little fresh lime and cilantro when we grill it!

How I wish I could catch and do fishing in the future. It is one of my wishes in life. Did you ever try to catch fish in your entire life?

@Chakimmm I agree that it needs to have more patience when doing this.

@Shavkat Yes, I used to often fish when I was in school, on holidays or even when I came home from school, it was quite fun even though I had to be a little patient in fishing

No, I only captured using my mobile phone. In fact, I have not tried to catch fish in any sea bodies in this world. Have you tried it before?

@sinari If I have them, we prefer they will be fried.

@Shavkat I also have never caught fish in the sea. What do you want to cook with your big tilapia? will it just be fried?

Wow! How's the fishing stunt? Did you get anything?

@Faster16 Let me check it, thanks.

@Shavkat you can see it here

@Shavkat maybe it depends, I don't know too but lapu -lapu or red grouper gets more expensive and sought after the bigger they are. It's like what they say that soft drinks in small bottles are stronger than those in liters

@louievill In my city, it is Php 100 per kilogram. I estimated that this fish is around 4 kg. It will be Php 400 if I am going to buy it.

I am not sure if I can validate this claim by my mother. According to her, it is not tasty if a fish is so big.

I cannot blame you. When I was still living in Tajikistan, I cannot distinguish what kind of fish they sell in the public market.

I have the same feeling as yours at first.

It was a huge one and my first time to see it, too.

@Shavkat A catch like that should be a feather in your cap. Congratulations.

Oh, I did not buy it. I just took a photo of it only.

@Shavkat ok dear

It would be great food while having a picnic at the riverside with the family.
