what, yes it does. maybe you have had fish that has a stronger taste or something, but i think it has a fishy taste. why would you want it to be strong? i like it with onions and vinegar it makes it tangy and hides the fishy flavor. i like whole tilapia better though and fried so it is nice and crunchy with a hot and spicy sauce.
tomorrow i am going to go shopping. they have a sale on salmon 1 pound for $3.98. not sure if i will buy it but it is so tempting.
