Tilapia Fillets Tilapia

Tilapia is a freshwater fish native to Africa and the Middle East. It is now farmed worldwide for its mild flavor and flaky white flesh. The fillets are typically sold fresh or frozen.

Tilapia fillets are a versatile protein source used in a wide variety of dishes. They are commonly baked, broiled, pan-fried, or grilled. Their mild taste makes them suitable for various cuisines and flavorings.

Tilapia is a good source of protein and omega-3 fatty acids. It is not an additive and does not have a regulatory status like GRAS or approved additive. The FDA does not have specific guidelines for tilapia consumption beyond general fish recommendations. Some concerns have been raised about the omega-3 to omega-6 fatty acid ratio in farmed tilapia compared to wild-caught fish, but evidence is mixed.
