Question

I have ask around about this fish and no one seems to have tried it. I love fish but I would like to know if it is a good choice.

Answer 1

IT's my favorite! You can cook it so many diffrent ways.The best way I think is to wrap it in foil with onions,lemon,salt and pepper.You wont regret tryin it.♥

Answer 2

BAKED TILAPIA 1/4 c. celery 1/4 c. onion, chopped 1/4 c. sweet red pepper, chopped 3 tbsp. butter 3 tbsp. flour Salt and pepper to taste 1/2 tsp. dried tarragon 1/2 tsp. dried basil 1 1/4 c. milk 1 c. Mozzarella cheese, shredded 1 1/2 lbs. Rain Forest Tilapia fillets In a medium skillet, saute the celery, onions and sweet red pepper in butter until tender. Add the salt, pepper, tarragon, basil and milk; mix well. Cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly until thickened. Add the cheese and stir until melted. Do not boil. Rinse the Tilapia fillets in cold water and drain thoroughly. Place the fish in a 12 x 8 x 2 inch baking dish; spoon the sauce evenly over the fish. Bake at 425 degrees for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the fish flakes evenly when tested with a fork. Serves 4.

It's great on the grill. Brush some melted butter over both the top and bottom side of the fish. Put a mild pepper seasoning with some minced garlic. Remember to keep the seasoning light, as you don't want to take away from the flavor of the fish. Put it on a piece of tin foil, and put on the grill, medium flame. If you want you can cover the fish with foil, this just helps to keep moisture in.
Enjoy!

Answer 4

I'm a vegetarian but used to eat Tilapia. It appeals to alot of people because it is a light fish and does not taste fishy at all. I used to love it baked in a lemon dill sauce with breadcrumbs sprinkled on top.

Answer 5

It's a good fish. It's very mild and takes on the flavor of any sauce. Light in fat. Cooks quickly too. Good for fish tacos or anything.

Answer 6

I have it at least twice a week from how good it is! Usually for lunch.....Breaded & deep fried or you can go the healthier way & bake it with some french fries, its so yummy!!!! With a drizzle of lemon & ketchup & some salt & pepper, it's perfect...This fish is flaky & moist, really yummy anyway you wanna make it but I suggest not grilling because it'll fall apart! Enjoy :)

Answer 7

Yes, its very good fish and the price is usually reasonable too. Its a hard white fish, like cod but harder, and smaller fish also. Its good pan fried.

Answer 8

YES !!! it is a very good tasting fish I was alittle nervous about trying it at first but I just fried it in the deep fryer...yumm ooo

Answer 9

It is a farm fish that is well received all over the US. It endures cooking rather well.

Answer 10

It is a good alternate if you can't afford red snapper. I like mine whole and fried or on the grill, but you can ask for it in fillets at any butcher shop.
