Tilapia/Trout fillet....

[guidofatherof5]

I don't use anything from outside the U.S or Canada.
It's just one of my rules.
I don't have much confidence in the processing from these other countries.
Heck, I don't have much confidence in the U.S. or Canada.
That's why I feed very little fish.

The fish you have mentioned using before (Canadian or USA) is not nearly as clean and safe as farmed tilapia from Indonesia. One can say it's just one of their rules to only eat fish caught at midnight on the summer solstice at a certain latitude and time of day and it would make about as much sense as your rule.

Remember the worms you showed us from the fish you were feeding your snakes? Just try to find that in imported tilapia. Not going to happen. Imported fish goes through more thorough inspection and scrutiny than domestic and tests much lower in mercury and other contaminants. Like, almost none. I prefer hard science and real testing with consistent results over some rule based on some unfounded belief or superstition.
