The wiey has been buying some fresh fish at the local suppermarket. CILAPIA. Small thin fillets. She broils it in the oven and it is tasty with seasonings. I got involved in a lengthly post on another forum and it cooled off, so I put it in the Microwave for a 60 second warmup. Within 30 seconds it was literally exploding into tinny bits, and made a total mess of the nuker.
Is this fish laden with heavy metals or mineral deposits that are causing it to explode like this?, or what?

cant answer your question,but it is time for your wife and sis in law to go fishing again,I remember they caught some nice ones last season!
 
Larry,
You're wright on that. The farm pond bass were good and I nuked a few of them and they didn't turn into burgerbits on the sides and roof of the microwave.

its tilapia. tasty yes but farmed in all the wrong countries under the worst of conditions. stick with us farm raised catfish. google raising tilapia.
 
I know a guy who is in a group of some kind here in Minn that raises them but they are all sold alive to Canadian stores. I believe he has an operation near Piere S.Dak also.
 
I don't believe you would stock those fish up north. They die when the water temperature reaches 50 degrees. They are good for cleaning a pond, taste good, reproduce very fast. Can't stand cold water.
 
Ya got em superheated and cooked all the goodie out of them. Did that to a small steak once. I don't know what it turned into but I am glad it didn't come to life.
 
A guy was raising them around here, and water temp gets into the 40's in winter.

They are a mild, good tasting fish. I have had strange results when microwaving something a second time, probably nothing to do with the fish.
 
Microwave oven will ruin every thing you put in it.Freezing fish ruins it.The best way to cook fish is on a barbeque grill with hardwood scraps.Charcoal briquets are loaded with coal dust.I have avoided Tilapia because I heard that they put chicken pens over fish ponds in Asia.Plenty of bass here.Small ones are best eating.If fish has been frozen dont buy it.Freezing ruins the flavor and texture.
 
I have had the same thing happen with fish in the microwave. The worse food for me is chili as the microwave tends to explode the beans. It has to do with how food absorbs the microwave energy. Water and fat for example, absorbs more energy. When trapped water flashes to steam you get a small explosion.
 
I have a neighbor that raised Tilapia in MN year around. He had 30' deep tanks inside a heated building. He heated the tanks and had foam balls floating on the top to keep the heat in the tank. The tanks were underground. They would pump the fish and water into a tanker semi and ship them north to be butchered.
He did okay, but it wasn't something he kept doing after he paid off the tanks and building. He filled in the tanks and poured cement over the floor. Now its a heated shop.
 
The top five tilapia in the USA and when they start to die when the water temperature reaches a certain degree.
