Cooking Suggestions

Tilapia can be cooked almost any way imaginable. It can be used in recipes which call for catfish or sole, as the texture and flavor are quite similar. Poach, steam, roast, fry, grill or sautéed with equally great results. Whole tilapia are ideally sized for a variety of preparations, whether steamed, roasted, grilled or pan-fried. Tilapia adapts well to serving with bold flavors, especially Asian-style soy-based ginger marinades.
