Tilapia is $5.99 - $6.99 per pound in South Florida, even when buying in bulk from Costco. Tilapia and other fish will likely go up in price tomorrow. Today is the last day until May 1 that you are allowed catch grouper down here. We have a 4-month ban, coinciding with their spawning season, to help correct for the over-fishing. The ban runs is for Atlantic waters from North Carolina through The Keys, and then on the gulf side of the keys, and will be repeated annually until the population recovers.
doesn't Tilapia come from fish farms in Vietnam and China? You can find it pretty cheap frozen at Trader Joes
