Reply to "7 reasons one doctor stopped eating tilapia"

As with most things and most fish isn't it a factor and depends on where you get the fish from?   I know Georges says that they only get their fish from Gulf suppliers and their fish is Gulf Red Snapper as well as Shrimp and I always found their fish to be great tasting. 

As for Catffish I have only ate at Newburns (expensive lately) and Swamp Johns as well as boneless Catfish at Champy's Chicken which is actually very good as well.  I'm always on the lookout for a good Catfish place but the absolutely WORST Catfish I have every eaten, hands down, was and is and remains Cracker Barrel, I avoid that like the plague or an un-sedated colonoscopy.

Cracker Barrel has some good Cod Fish that they serve up on Fridays but the Catfish is horrible or at least the last I had was and so horrible that it left a very lasting impression that won't go away for a very long time.

As for other seafood I have really been impressed with the new owners of Red Lobster and since the new ownership over the company stores, I've not gotten a bad meal there.  They usually have good specials and after the change in ownership/management the serving sizes have increased to what they should have been all along.   I have had Tilapia there as well as their Flounder and found both to be very well prepared and tasty.  The Admirals Platter still remains a very good deal and usually gives the wife and I enough to actually split/share the meal.  I also love their shrimp specials when you can find them on.

Sadly I found out that Outback Steakhouse is no longer going to be offering their All you can eat Shrimp specials that they had last year, around the fall, as that was a very good special with choice of fried and scampi.  Outback actually did a very good job on their scampi but Red Lobster still is my pick for the Scampi shrimp.  As for the Fried, butterflied, shrimp I don't think you can beat Georges but it comes at a cost.  Then I've always liked Georges seafood better than their steaks as it is.  For me Georges best steak offering is their chopped steak which is actually filet and ribeye cuts.

Last Ruby Tuesday has some pretty good offerings these days with their fried and grilled shrimp and with the usual Buy one get one 1/2 off or the $5.00 off $15.00 coupons you can get a pretty good deal.   Speaking of Ruby Tuesdays no one argues with their salad bar offering but I've actually had a really good sirloin there, not the ribeye but the lowly sirloin which comes in a petite or 14 oz larger size for $14.95 and is affordable with the coupons which are usually always available in the mail or from the retailmenot app.  Lastly, regarding Ruby Tuesday's I had their free Birthday burger as one of their e-club members and I have to say that for me Ruby Tuesday's has the BEST QUALITY and tasting Burger in the Shoals area.   I had the Cheddar Bacon burger and didn't select the one with the Prime meat selection but still believe it to be one of the best Burgers I've ever had, here or anywhere else.   The best burger still is the one I had a Houston's restaurant in Atlanta, Ga but Ruby Tuesdays is a very good one.

Sadly the best onion rings are found at Buffalo Wild Wings so no Onion Rings with the RT Burger but hey at least it's across the street and not too far to go if you just want Onion Rings and some wings.

So much for my opinion.  That's far more than two cents worth.
