Highly INVASIVE Tilapia! Catch Clean Cook- Tilapia Ceviche + Smoked Tilapia Succotash
Вставка
- Опубліковано 9 лют 2025
- My buddy Ricky from @FL FISHING CHANNEL called me up and asked if I wanted to go Tilapia fishing and there was no way I was turning down a tilapia catch clean cook! We got into an epic tilapia chew! These are Blue Tilapia which are an invasive species in Florida! They are not native to South Florid and there is no bag or size limit on these fish! Tilapia often get a bad wrap, because they are often farm raised in poor conditions. That is not reflective of all tilapia fisheries. Wild caught tilapia are delicious, with a very mild flavor. I made the tilapia into two recipes, the first is an aqua chile style ceviche and the second is a pan smoked Tilapia on the campchef woodwind.

Who else isn't afraid to eat Tilapia? I was surprised as to how many people reacted negatively to wild caught tilapia. These fish are delicious, mild in flavor and a great texture.
Their definitely not on my top 5 fish
If that is where I think it is, (near a certain energy plant) not sure how safe that water is. Other than that good going! the ceviche looked on point!
Depending on where it is caught I would much rather eat wild-caught than farm-raised. Almost always better meat and taste. Usually healthier. Of course again depends on where it's caught.
I love Tilapia but i havent ate much fish
We love wild caught Tilapia. We cast net them from the St. Johns That store farm raised stuff....hard pass.
Perfectly said, "no trash fish, just trash cooks." Boom spot on. Love this channel and it always looks delicious. Yes, I am jealous in a good way. I can't wait to make this. It will not be as good considering I live in Pittsburgh, however, I can get fresh wild tilapia and give it a try.
Where l live tilapia is most common it is really nice 👍👍
Wrong. Shit fish!!!!!!!!! And if you like them you’re shit
Shhhh....they will stop lettings me take all of those beutiful "trash" bluefish and the fishy kings
I've said this on your channel before, or at least made similar comments... One of my favorite parts of your channel is the family aspect. Brook's dad nails it, "how lucky am I?" It's good to hear his appreciation, and you can always see it written on his face, how happy he is with his family. You are some very fortunate folks, and are living your best life. Keep it up!
Love grandma...was chowing down and not paying attention to what Dad had to say. She was in a zone. Clean plate is the best complement huh grandma. Nice to see a freshwater C&C . Very tasty to the eye chef Vik.
Hello Brookie...
Thats all i was seeing too 😂 she was chowing down enjoying every second
Fan from Zimbabwe, tilapia here is a delicacy and people love it! Love the channel and content 👍🏾 keep it going!!
Zimbabwe in the house cheers from florida!
Its actually a pretty common fish in supermarkets in the U.S.A but I assume that is farmed
@@guppy719 yes farmed like crazy
Kenya too.... We eat everything the head... To the tail
Do you fish man? Am a zimbo too
I LOVE the line, "'No trash fish, just trash cooks"!!! I have eaten carp, catfish, bullheads, all types of sunfish and loved them all!!!
Victor's videos are the only thing getting me through college right now, keep it up!
Hahaha push on through brother
@@LandsharkOutdoors Many Thanks from the beautiful Pacific NorthWest!!
pretty sure you are getting yourself through college but i know what u mean brah
What about sex
@@grendergaming2701 probably not getting any
So when’s that Outdoor Chef Life collab coming? A Taku Tuesday with Vik would be incredible
yo that need to happen
Those were mainly blue tilapia (though some coloring suggests hybrids). When I get closer to the coast, me and my family tend to get these, but I personally prefer spotted tilapia which I tend to catch in the Everglades a lot. Amazing catch and vid as always!
have you tried Red Tilapia? ITs such a different taste!
Vik, been watching for years, now, and, I must say, your channel is one of my FAVS, the other being your Ol' Lady (Brooke Crist) and DMFD. You and Brooke just come off as REAL. Don't change, bro.
My wife makes a great parmesan baked tilapia (we can only get store-bought frozen) which I was eating while watching this video :) Knowing that they're an invasive species in FL makes me want to take my next vacation there, and see how much I can bring home!
I was born in south orlando.As a kid growing up we would bow hunt from the bank in a water system called Shingle Creek. Also called Nile Pearch.We also would cast net them and get so many that we would go to the less fortunate side of town and give them all of the fish. We did this for years. I'm 58 and I'm still eating them. Great videos.
The best Catch, clean & cook, I've ever seen. detailed to the mouth-watering sensation!!!
“Just takin my fish for a walk” LOL, made crack up! Great job Vik!!
You now have 2 subscribers ,lol your welcome
Home boy needs some ice
I was saying the same thang
,man loved how this video ended with family eating together and your people so appreciative toward your cooking and your efforts, that's what life's about thanks for that
It’s really cool to see u fishing with the smaller channels, hope it helps them out. Ricky was actually going to take me out last year kayak fishing but it ended up blowing to much so we didn’t get a chance to go. He’s a really cool dude
Where about this is located because I’m trying to do some fishing because I’m coming from Lakeland fl
I love tilapia. It tastes good and is budget friendly. I season mine with olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, italian seasoning, black pepper and salt and pan fry. I really enjoyed watching this video.
I love what Brook says, that things that are fresh caught or homegrown are always so amazing. We all just never realized since we are used to things from the store. I am obsessed with your channel and Brooks!
Víctor cooks heavy on seasoning and spices, as a Latin person i truly appreciate that... Most, if not all gringos cook too plain, simple and light on everything.. People, flavor is key for every delicious food, that's why I believe them when they say that the food is/was delicious.. Kudos to Victor... 👍 👍
Amen brother! I’m trying to get all my fellow gringos to get out of there comfort zones haha!
You know this guy's in a fishing paradise if he's never had to eat tilapia.
Back home in Jamaica 🇯🇲 I use to go to the river and sometimes I caught a bucket full of tilapia great eating 🐟
Dem nuh know anything about that is the nicest fish to fry and eat.
I worked at a restaurant in Charleston, SC in the early 2000's where every Friday we had a lunch buffet.. On that buffet they served "fried flounder" which was actually fried tilapia.. It wasn't bad and nobody ever called them out.. To this day, I think they still serve it...
As you guys have realized, Tilapia is actually a great eating fish. In Africa, though, whereas Tilapia are indigenous and were once plentiful, they have been practically wiped out by exotic aliens such as especially Smallmouth, Northern and Florida bass. So we used to catch Tilapia and eat a few, releasing most of the catch in years gone by but nowadays we release all native fish and keep the bass for the pan.
Thanks and tight lines to you and yours.
Funny how that works, bass are DELICIOUS, if there is no limit, keep ‘em all!!!!
@@brianlocal3 That's exactly what we're doing today1 They are probably the best freshwater eating fish. To be honest I would never take any native fish species out - but in Africa bass are unwanted illegal aliens so...yeah. We find that pan fried with garlic and a bit of seasoning is all that's needed.
Back in South Africa when I was a kid, we used to catch Tilapia (aka Kurper) all day long. Nice video, thanks guys.
Huge fan I get so excited when I get the notification
I used to breed them at home in my aquaponics system. If you want to get rid of the fish taste then keep them alive, put them in clean water for 48hours, no feed.
It pretty much erases the fish taste all together and allows you to decide flavors with seasonings.
Hey dude, dunno if your still active or will see this etc.. but are you still running your system and using tilapia as a complete/full complimentary ecosystem? Interested in your set-up(just general overview or as much as your willing to write I guess). 🤙🙏
I'm glad you like the tilapia but you are a great cook, you make any fish look/taste good, we got to do this again i had a blast fishing with you 💪👊
Thank you amigo
@@LandsharkOutdoors 💪👊
We know them as mojarras. Fried with lemon and some tapatio hot sauce was my introduction to fish as a kid hah
Hahaha I was going to say the same thing!
A lot of Hispanic families fry tilapia and use it to introduce their kids to eating fish 😂 I know it was definitely my first time eating fish because I remember the name eating it with lime and Valentina sauce 😂 it's because of this fish that I am comfortable with sea food and trying new sea food. Now I'm just starting to learn how to fish and I want to find a place to fish for tilapia and feel some nostalgia when I cook it and eat it.
Grandma sayin “i think this says it all”
Love those Dishes brother!
The Second try was sooooooooo cooool. 2minutes at 20 degrees Celsius.. perfect show.
Great video as always. I would eat wild talapi, but NEVER in a restaurant or farm raised, they taste like weeds to me! Why didn't you keep and eat the other cichlids? I hear they are really good eating too!!!! Thanks for sharing with us!
What kind of chef is this?😅. The most beautiful part is when you see happy family enjoying dinner
That freaking does it!!!!!! I'm driving from Utah to Victor's house and have him cook me some lunch!!!!!!
PS....I'm bringing my plate and utensils too!
One day it will be possible
Opening a restaurant?
You are a good cook Victor. You made the humble tilapia a delectable dish.
That succotash looks good by itself! I'd throw some jalapeños in it though 😋
Thanks for your video, very well done. We had tilapia in a coal fired power plant cooling lake and I never had good advice how to catch them. The boat ramp manager recommended lettuce and I saw a video about using bananas about time the power plant quit using the lake. No more tilapia. Wish someone had told me just use worms. 😂 The health of the fish from the cooling lake was good according to our State game biologist I actually trust. By the way, night crawlers are also an invasive species eating leaf mulch and changing our mountain forest. Please don't set them free after fishing.
When we make ceviche, we always use Tilapia. My wife is Peruvian and thinks it works the best of all the fish (both fresh and saltwater) available in the U.S.
Hi vic, to get maximum taste of the tilapia fish, DON'T skin off the fish, clean everything else, gut and scale off but leave the skin on, even don't bother fillet it. Then without many seasoning except maybe garlic and bit of salt the fish is ready to go for bbq, short deep fry, or steam boat. Don't over cook it, just maybe 1-2 mins on heat. They taste even better than marine grouper. Just my 2 cents tip from southeast asian way
Fantastic fishing, this place is amazing only has beautiful fish, CONGRATULATIONS you are a very successful fisherman.👍🎣😉
Where is this?
Where is this lake?
Please, can you provide the address? I would like to take my dad and 3 year old
Its Amazing to see Good people that are humble and help and work with others that are up and coming . That is rare.
That fish you caught is called a copetona(real name is red head cichlid). It is a type of cichlid and they are very common where I live. They are actually really good to eat.
I'am Your Newest Subscriber Great Videos
When you catch the cichlids, don't kill them....just put them in your bucket like the tilapia, and take them home with you. At your home, bury the cichlids as fertilizer for your plants. You don't have to tell anyone you didn't eat them, and if you don't kill them on camera, no one is going to complain.
omg .. grow up....
Why would you do that if there are cheaper and better fertilizers? Worm tea/castings is one of, if not the best, overall fertilizer and super easy to make yourself or cheap to buy. You don't waste anything either, like perfectly good fish or your time digging an 8 inch deep hole because if you want to use fish that is about how far you should dig down for it. If you really want to fertilize your stuff, do it normally. God damn. If you really want to use fish use an aquaponic too instead of just burying the fish. Not only can you eventually eat the fish you raise but they also give nutrients to the water that feeds the plants. BuRY ThE wHoLe FiSH, MF gtfo of here with that dumb shit. This ain't native times, we know better ways to farm without wasting food. Now, if it was just scraps then fine but a whole ass fish??? Really?
@@selestedoesntevencare2169 you won't be able to get it soon.
Facts they are also good eating it just doesn’t seem right to me killing a fish someone else could’ve ate or used for soil instead of just wasting it literally could’ve ate it with the tilapia to me they good asl
Grandma mic drop❤️ Love this family and the great videos. Thank you for sharing with us!
Man you got to eat those Mayan cichlids- they taste great. We catch big ones in the Sebastian river and keep them all for fish tacos
We’d catch big cichlids in Wellington Lake (not too far from the mall), and you’re right...they’re delicious. Better than tilapia. I’d fill an Igloo Sportsman 55 gallon cooler with tilapia in a half dozen casts with my 12’ mullet net (1-1/4 mesh) after chumming them up, and give half of those to my neighbors...but keep the Mayan Chiclids for myself.
I love Ricky's channel too, so seeing you guys fishing together was great!
My favorite way to prep tilapia is baking with a generous amount of olive oil, lemon pepper and fresh sliced lemon
You guys are really blessed to have place where tilapia are easily caught. Wow?
Ricky is the man!!! Permit Slayer!!! Great video Vic. Keep up the great work!!!! We can go slay some coolihoos one day!!!!
Citrus juice in ceviche denatures the protein, but doesn't kill parasites. Should you worry about that with fresh water fish?
Good question I feel like I deff wouldn't ceviche fresh water fish
Mike I was going to say the exact same thing. I usually put the fish on the grill and then cube it and put it a ceviche type dish. It not authentic ceviche but it's also safe considering I'm using freshwater fish like stripers.
Yeah, the tapeworm risk is too high to go raw for me
I’m from the UK and I love buying Tilapia fillets and making a curry, my favourite fish to eat in a curry, no question 👌👌
where is this lake. would love to go and catch these Tilapia
People never want to say the locations lol.
I dont know the name or area so I cant look it up on google maps
@sseaga have you found it yet if you have found it can you show it here?
What lake is this
@@Wop.exotics I also want to know
Hello Victor great channel . I just want you to know that I recently moved here from AZ and the fish you guys catch and cook are awesome. In fact I’ve tried several recipes from snappers to Mullets. The bomb man! Keep it up ! Family friends and good eats! ( Fish)
I included tilapia into my diet and I love it. I cook it the local style out here In Hawai’i, I make a mixture of mayonnaise, oyster sauce, Chinese parsley, leup chong(Chinese sausage) , and stuff the tilapia and coat it. You can also also stuff clams, or shrimp. Wrap in in foil and bake at 350 for an hour or so
Sounds so good!
I grew up on tilapia. You can deep fry the whole fish, too. Filipino style. I'm proud to say it is a staple food of our culture.
Due to them being invasive. I’d say go catch as many as you can and give them away to those who need a meal
Sounds like unlimited eating!
@@schwinnbike18 With Florida invasive fish,it really is unlimited good eating .🐟🐟
Gotta say I love the way u do your videos, and I appreciate that u season your food well each time great presentation also
What lake are you fishing at? Im in North FL id love to come down,
It’s a private lake
We’re is that lake at
@@JuanGarcia-zp9wh it’s near a power plant the reason they got in that day was because the gate was broken, they fixed it now.
@@timothyok3775 that's why these tilapia are big? Because of the powerplant?
@@paekas68 ohh 😮
Tallipia is fish of the century you could cook it as many way from blacken pack fried and savetchi style and come perfectly done better than the augly catfish I enjoy catching the shrimp at night keep up good work guys
so where is this place at?
If you find out where the location is please let me know
Awesome video victor keep doing what you do sir, you and Brooke are awesome
what is the location? I want to go fishing there as well!
doubt anybodies gonna share:(
@@Flistered 3 months ago just after commenting i saw he actually said it. I think is around lake ochekobee if i remember correctly. Its far from me anyways
Just figured ouyt where it is, now the trick is to figure out how to get my car close to the water. Looking at it from Google Earth, it's surrounded by a wide ditch on 3 sides with some railroad tracks on the fourth. There are a few places to cross the ditch to the road surrounding the lake, but I can't tell if those are closed to the public or not.
@@garycovington9044 ok so where?
@@bulldogneon I found it using Google Earth. Use it and look at the big "lake" to the west of Indiantown. It's not really a lake at all, but an artificial pond dug by the power company. If you zoom in, you can see the concrete steps they were fishing from.
Yummy! Very mild and not oily.
One of the oldest living fishes, in fact apparently when Jesus did the miracle of feeding the thousands and multiplied the fishes and bread, most likely that fish would have been Tilapia
Nosa. Haddock. It was delicious haddock from the cold North Atlantic. 😇
Thank you for this video. Now I know two other ways to cook tilapia. Cheers 🤙
throw those evasive species up on land, birds have to eat too.
Here in the Philippines, Tilapia is one of the main fish you'd see in marketplaces. It's a delicacy here. Try it pan-fried and just do salt and pepper, you'll gonna have a very pretty meal. If you're up for the next level Tilapia delicacy, do it escabeche style. The cooking tutorial for Tilapia Escabeche is available in UA-cam as well! Great Video, BTW!!
eating uncooked freshwater fish I-
Victor you're spot on with what you say there are no trash fish only trash cooks.....
Oh noooooo...not Trashlapia - “disgusting”, never said by any Filipino. And some people shouldn’t wear tights, ever!?
You are the best fillet-er I have ever seen. Well done. That skin had NO meat left on it!
Where is this spot your catching those tilapia. I never caught them before
On a now private road that has a gate... Southern Blvd in Palm Beach County
@@daddymcsnacks_561 you can share the exact address ?
Any med to large size ponds in the Orlando area will be loaded with them.
@@Oscariitooo the description that was told is enough. Dont be lazy and work for it. Google Earth. Unfortunately, there is a gate that prevents you from going down the dirt road along the M-Canal. 😏
Were in Florida are you getting theses fish?? I would like to get some
Tilapia is so tasty, when fresh it's so good deep fried!
Release some Asians
Those tilapia will be gone in no time😂
Yeahh.. taste so great
How do you think they got there in the first place
Find this offensive in a good way 😂🤣
Man is eating good with no limit to tilapia
Here in Philippines there are 2 or 3 types of tilapia one is the rainbow-ish color and the black is called "tagalog" i think it's native tilapia but they're both taste different
tilapia are native to the Nile rover
Cheers! Been supporting you and Brookes’ channel for a long time, tune in to every video you guys make! I’m in south fl as well (Broward); love these fish. Sucks that they’re invasive and wreck everything, but they’re everywhere, easy to catch, and very good.
That one looked like a BIG bluegill...
I love your ceviche bro. That is my favorite dish. Thumbs up!! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
aren't humans an invasive species? lmao'
Well done Sharky..g'day everyone from Oz..Gran n co..the fambly that eats together..stays together.

At least tell us the county please lol.
the only place I can imagine that big ass retention lake is over by hialeah.. there’s like 20 pretty large man made lakes that look similar in shape
@@jackgoodman7855 thanks Jack.
Most big ales in South Florida have tilapia. You can see them in schools close to shore, and during breeding season there big nest are everywhere
@@shanek6582 it's in Palm Beach County off Southern Blvd. It's gated now so they know someone that has access...
