Meat Experts Tip:
Tilapia has a mild, light flavor. It can be used for almost any fish recipe because it lacks an overpowering fishy taste. It’s a great source of protein, but depending on how the fish was raised, it can lack the amount of omega-3 fatty acids found in other fish.
Preferred Cooking Method:
Skillet, Broil, Bake, Grill
Cooking Temps:
