A friend of mine with decidedly vegetarian leanings once told me that tilapia is one of the most environmentally friendly farmed fish: they take any kind of organic refuse and turn it into high quality lean protein.

Tilapia also lack many of the fatty acids and other nutrients that make fish an in-vogue healthy food. But bang for the buck of cheap protein, it can't be beat.
