I bought a bag of Tilapia fish fillets at the restaurant supply (better quality than the grocery store) from Indonesia not China.
Damn good broiled with Cajun seasoning and garlic.

Happy heart attack -- if you have ever seen the commercial chicken factories ...
The Chinese fish factory ponds are pretty bad both in animal (fish) conditions and sanitary conditions. Additionally, the food safety laws and regulations in China are lax.
We cannot all live in villages or on farms and raise our own food. Over the years I have eaten a lot of game meat that is naturally fed (and fresh shot ;) ) no comparison to store bought meat. If you want to spend the long dollar buy Kosher or Halal meat it often comes from better sources and tastes much better.
Long ago I worked milking cows for 3 months and had occasion to eat beef, old dairy cow, that the slaughter house guy brought us as a gift (along with a cigar box of cash for the 16 cows and little bull veal we sold him -- long story). Best beef I ever ate but we fed them ground soy renderings, alpha, orange rinds, and leftover unwrapped bread. No chemicals except a vitamin supplement we added -- organically raised milk cow -- Holstein.
But we had a lot of cow shit around -- stunk like hell-- CS would be in hog-heaven LOL. The little bulls we castrated and sold for veal were kept in rather crowded pens so that they were tender, not too muscular, for sales as prime meat. That is the way cattle farming is. They were not pets.
The days of shooting buffalo in the prairies in the west are long gone.
