Blue tilapia, also called Nile Perch. They're EVERYWHERE here. They've been called ditch tilapia, guess why LOL.
 
BLUE TILAPIA

(Oreochromis aureus) COMMON NAME - Blue tilapia (sometimes erroneously referred to as Nile perch)

SPORTING QUALITY - Not normally known for their angling quality. The exception being some urban anglers catch these in ponds using small pieces of hot dogs, bread balls, dog food, or live worms; no bag or size limits. They are rarely caught on artificial lures. There is also a group of avid bow anglers that target this species.

EDIBILITY – White flaky meat with a mild flavor; considered excellent eating, and farm-raised fish often sold in grocery stores.
