How do you prepare tilapia, or do you reject it as farm raised and missing nutrition? Does it work as food?

Tilapia is low-fat farmed fish that is relatively new in US via the peace corps since 1990's. It's cheap, and cannot ever be presented as cuisine clique. Fine chefs don't like it. We certainly never had this as kids in prior decades. I had it for the first time in FL in late 1990's. To me it's nothing. There's little to no benefit of omega-3's in it, apparently, unlike herring or mackerel, etc... Also it is a rather tasteless fish. On the other hand we shouldn't be eatting ANY big fish at all. We used to think of fish as something wild. Today people don't even know one from the other, and are more and more detached from any notion of wild food, from wild blue berries to mushrooms, and a hundred of other examples that make us poorer. The domesticated model replaced the wild one. 50% of fish in US is farmed.
