Almost every day!!
Me to, I love it, occasionally I'm a good boy and have it grilled but mostly deep fried in batter. Had my cholesterol checked last week because I was eating so much of it, it was high @6.1 but all "good" cholesterol according to my doctor, must be the oil I use, we were both surprised.Almost every day!!
Glad to hear your cholesterol levels are ok. Unfortunately, I don't use flour anymore, since I suspect that I have gluten intolerance, but I have found out that there are grains that do not contain gluten, such as teff.Me to, I love it, occasionally I'm a good boy and have it grilled but mostly deep fried in batter.

We eat fish or shellfish a couple of times a week. But, I will never buy tilapia, or any other seafood, from China again after reading this in National Geographic: Yellow River - National Geographic Magazine

hmm I don't know if the Tilapia I bought was from China. thanks for the info. I guess I won't buy it anymore.
Good for you, GG! WHERE your fish comes from is important information to determine whether or not it is good for YOU, and/or the environment.
I used to eat fish almost every day, but the wild, line caught product has become so expensive, I can't any more. Cooking fish and shellfish -- and teaching others how to do the same is my culinary specialty.
My understanding is that most tilapia sold in the U.S. is from China, although there is some tilapia farmed in the U.S. that you might be able to find. I'm actually surprised you were able to find Dover sole - I thought most of that was sold to restaurants.

It might actually be flounder.
According to Seafood Watch, some farmed fish is okay. Do you avoid all farmed fish? Just curious and wanting to learn more
Sadly, it probably is flounder, or some lesser flatfish that is marketed as "sole," even tho it isn't, really. Doesn't mean it isn't tasty, just not sole.
REAL Dover sole costs at least $26 per pound, last time I saw any.
if that is the case, then my supermarket is lying about it being wild caught dover sole.
