Tilapia

Tip
How to Pick Tilapia
Tilapia has gained much popularity over the years, but it’s important to ask a grocery store representative where their tilapia comes from and how it’s raised. Since tilapia retain much of the same flavor as the water it swims in, farm-raised varieties may not only taste off, but also contain dirt and bacteria. If you are buying the fish whole, make sure it smells oceanic and has clear eyes.

How to Freeze Tilapia
Properly stored, tilapia will last in your freezer from six to eight months. It is important to take the fish (which can be in its original packaging) and re-wrap it with plastic wrap, freezer paper, or aluminum foil. Stick the filets in a freezer bag for added protection.

Tip
How to Thaw Tilapia
Like most fish, you should never thaw tilapia in a microwave or on the kitchen counter. A microwave will cook the fish and make the filet more susceptible to airborne bacteria. Your best bet is to place the tilapia in a bowl of cold water and change every 30 minutes or so until the fish is ready to be cooked.
