I'm making blackened tilapia sandwhiches for dinner tonight, with a cilantro lime mayo spread. Do I need to remove the remaining skin from the one side of the filet, or can the skin be eaten with the sandwhich once the fish is cooked?

That's a personal preference........I like to pan fry my tilapia with the skin side down and cover the pan and let it pan fry/steam till just underdone (the carryover cooking process will finish cooking the fish to the proper temp) I however, like to peel the skin off if it's going into a sandwich......BTW, sounds like a delicious recipe, just don't over season the tilapia, as it's so delicately flavored, you don't want to fight with it with over seasoning it.....Enjoy!!

I am a former chef professionally trained in the military with 28 years of experience and I notice that you seem to have a little problem, and though it hardly requires much of my skill, as a former chef professionally trained in the military with 28 years of experience, I, a former chef professionally trained with 28 years of experience, have deigned to answer.
If you're blackening your fish, lose the skin. It might not blacken as well as the flesh an might only prevent the fish on that side from blackening at all or unevenly. And then it may just fall off. Take it off at the start.

communicate on your neighbor. Frankly, what you do on your guy or woman belongings is none of their dang business enterprise, even though if or no longer they think of it is "cheesy" or no longer, incredibly on account that there is greater people who fish than human beings like her. perhaps i'm basically rude, yet i might tell her that after she will pay my lease/own loan, she will dictate what i'm able to or won't be able to do. in actuality, i might probable flow back fishing and get greater fish to scrub basically for her. it is not your interest to make your neighbor happy, so do no longer worry approximately it. EDIT: basically as a reaction to countless different people who propose dumping the entrails back in the water...it is an ideal concept...in case you want to unfold parasites and illnesses. heavily, Colorado has banned cleansing fish on the lakes for precisely that reason, simply by fact it facilitates the unfold of whirling ailment in trout, so as that they limit putting any of the remains back in the water, you need to get rid of all of it precise. even though in the event that they have not got whirling ailment, or are not trout, it is nice prepare.

I would remove it myself. I have only had tilapia without the skin. Sometimes the skin has a strong fishy smell.

the skin can be eaten or removed, you and the other dinners will also find that the meat will likely flake away from the skin while you're eating it anyway.

I would remove the skin once its cooked. Its definitely easier to remove then, and most people dont like to eat the skin.
Sounds delicious though!
