Description
Farm raised Wholey Tilapia tastes very close to flounder or catfish. The meat is sweat, lean, and mild tasting. It’s firm, white and flaky. You can broil, pan fry, steam, poach, grill, bake or braise the fillets for the best tasting Wholey Tilapia fillets.
It is a fresh tasting, non-fishy popular fish served in restaurants. Even people who don’t like fish tend to enjoy tilapia. Wholey Tilapia tastes great with your favorite marinade, sauce or salsa on top. It’s great for fish tacos and lightly breaded and pan fried makes for a delicious fish sandwich!
Wholey Tilapia can also be baked or added to soups and stews. A great choice for those of you eating healthy – tilapia is lean and full of protein – try it on top of a fresh green salad. Heart-healthy tilapia contains Omega-3 fatty acids, vitamin D, Calcium, Potassium, and Niacin.
