    If you really want the benefits from fish oils you can always try taking a fish oil supplement. No reason to force yourself to eat something you don't enjoy.

    PS: if anyone is looking for a great recipe for tilapia. try this (courtesy of Bobby Deen):
    season both sides with a dash of salt and pepper
    zest a lime and rub on both sides
    squeeze the lime juice on both sides
    bake at 350 for 8-10 minutes (or about 4 min each side on the grill)
    optional: cut up an avocado to put on top
    enjoy!! :)
