Do you understand the intended meaning of this post?

I like to cook fish and vegetables on the grill for fish tacos. The man at the fish counter at the local supermarket always recommends tilapia for tacos. I always opt for some fancier, classier fish. But, two weekend ago, I decided that I would give the tilapia a try. I marinated it for 6-7 hours in a cilantro-salsa-lime juice sauce. Then, when I cooked it, I dusted the tilapia lightly with jalapeno salt. The result was quite satisfying. The tofu comparison made earlier is somewhat accurate -- the fish absorbed flavor quite well, but (addressing GWNC's concerns) did not lose its fish-like flavor. The texture was also excellent, as it was light and flaked into soft taco-appropriate chunks easily. I am now a bit concerned about the raised-in-sewage allegation made by Bilmore. Otherwise, I would recommend this fish for grilling/soft taco purposes without hesitation.
Hank, not every post needs to be Picasso-worthy. As prolific as Picasso was, you are more so. There is no way you can maintain that kind of quality post after post. But that's OK/O.K.
