Post subject:  Should I eat this tilapia?

I've got a large jacuzzi / hot tub tank as part of my AP system and due to space constraints, I want to get rid of it. However it's housing a single Tilapia that the LFS pawned off on me when I bought other stuff from them. I can't keep the water temps up high enough because my system is outside and I've noticed that my tilapia has started to show signs of stress or disease. So I figure it's better to just turn him into dinner...

The question though, is he too diseased to eat? He is still alive. See the video:




And a side question: what's the best way to prepare a tilapia? I have a charcoal/wood smoker, I was thinking of smoking him whole.

Not seen video..but stress causes strange taste changes.. so as I understand it.. better to kill early and try eating..

Cooked through, you will kill any pathogenic organisms so it's safe to eat.

Looks good to eat taste may be less intense. But health wise should be good. Just throw some lemon on it. :)
