FISH- 5-7 oz. TILAPIA FILLET (10 lb. case)
Freshly frozen (5-7oz) per Tilapia fillet. IQF (Individually quick frozen). Flavor Profile Tilapia fish has a sweet, mild taste with lean flesh and a medium-firm, flaky texture. Raw flesh is white or pinkish-white sometimes with a darker muscle layer on the skin side of the fillets. The flesh cooks up to a white color. Many compare the mild taste of tilapia to that of another farm-raised success story, catfish. Aqua-cultured Tilapia tend to have a better flavor than wild Tilapia because Tilapia taste like their environment and wild fish feed on algae.
