Tilapia Fillets, Skinless

Firm white fillets with almost no fishiness, which makes them the easiest white fish to put in front of a table that is not sure about seafood. Cut boneless and trimmed to an even thickness.

What It Is

Fillets of farmed Nile tilapia, a freshwater fish now grown across Asia. The meat is denser than sole or flounder, white with a faint pink blush, and it holds together under a spatula instead of breaking into flakes.

Where It Comes From

Raised in controlled freshwater ponds, processed in certified plants, then individually quick frozen.
