“In Japan, fish like Nile perch and tilapia used to be sold a lot under false labels: Nile perch was passed off as Japanese sea bass and tilapia as red snapper. Even though they’d clearly taste better when cooked in recipes designed specifically to bring out their unique qualities, rather than those modeled on the qualities of a different fish! The Japanese have a resistance to freshwater fish, in general. Maybe it’s because people automatically associate them with koi carp and goldfish? But it just goes to show that in Japan, the name is more important than the taste.”
