Tilapia is mostly consumed in the Philippines because of its budget friendly price and it is easy to prepare. Back to the topic, most of the tilapia being distributed worldwide has not been grown in natural conditions, but in factory farms. Farms use many different fertilizers to take care of the fish, meaning farms are using many different chemicals on them.
