Baked Pecan Crusted Tilapia

Per Healthline.com, "Tilapia is an inexpensive, mild-flavored fish. It is the fourth most commonly consumed type of seafood in the United States. Many people love tilapia because it is relatively affordable and doesn’t taste very fishy. Tilapia contains beneficial nutrients. But depending on where the fish is sourced from, there may be a higher risk of safety concerns, including bacterial contamination.  Several reports have revealed highly concerning practices in Chinese tilapia farming, including the use of feces as food and the use of banned chemicals.  Because of this, if you choose to eat tilapia, it is best to avoid fish from China."

Personally, I like tilapia.  It reminds me of our wild-caught crappie from Texas lakes and ponds.  It is mild and easy to cook;  I use tilapia in almost all my fish tacos.  All of my local grocery stores carry tilapia, some frozen, some fresh.  Several of the frozen selections indicate they're from China and I avoid them.  Some of the other frozen and most of the fresh are from South America (i.e. Columbia, Peru, Brazil, and Ecuador) and, as best I can determine, these sources are approved by our USDA so I purchase and cook them.
