What does it taste like?.....
It is a very mild white fish with not very many bones.
Yes... We eat it about once a week, because Tilapia is low fat, low saturated fat, low calorie, low carbohydrate, low levels of mercury and a low sodium protein source. It is also an excellent source of Phosphorus, Niacin, Selenium, Vitamin B12 and Potassium.
We love it in a fish sandwich for Lunch. We lightly bread a Tilapia Fillet fry it for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until white and flaky. Cut Fillet in half and place both halves in a caramelized hamburger bun add a thin slice of cheese, some tarter sauce and a little bit of shredded Lettuce. Enjoy!!!!
Is it a rudd fish?
ReplyDeleteI make Tilapia a couple times a week. I usually just braise it off on both sides in my non-stick skillet spritzed with PAM. Then just before serving I add a couple Tbls. of water and put the lid on really quick to steam it. This really flakes it up. For me, I like it with a little Balsamic Vinegar. Hubby uses ranch dressing on his.
