Anybody on the board have any good tilapia recipes? I thawed some fillets out and was going to just pan fry them but I would like to try something a little bit different. I know there are some major cooks on this board so I am hoping to get some good recipes in. Also, if you supply a recipe supply or suggest some side dish recipes to go with it. Thanks!
I season mine well with this seasoning, Top with tomato, onion, bell pepper, and a lot of butter, and bake it. I have also copied Johnny Carino's Garlic Tilapia recipe, except served it over rice.
You can set in a tin foil "boat" with some olive oil and cook them on the grill. Fast, clean, no smell, and easy to throw away the foil later. I dust them with seafood seasoning on both sides, then add asparagus spears, sliced red bell pepper, onions, cilantro and basil in the same tin foil "boat". Turn the fish once. It takes about 2-3 min. per side. Very easy. Serve with bag salad, feta cheese, fresh tomatoes, peppers and onions. Make a great balsamic vinegar and olive oil dressing by adding some italian seasoning to vinegar and oil. Get star balsamic vinegar at Sams in a big bottle for about 6 bucks. Sometimes you can buy Colavita olive oil there too, or any of the better extra-virgin oils will work. It tastes great. You can also take the fish and cut into little pieces and work it into a dirty seafood rice, esp. with some scallops and shrimp. Add peppers and seasoning to taste. You can make fish tacos, of course, as well. The best thing there is to get a good serrano-cream sauce.
add Small can of Cream of Celery a can of Mild Ro tel chile tomatoes quarter diced onion lime mushrooms Preheat oven to 350. Saute Mushrooms and onions in olive oil. Cover Tilapia in this mixture. Heat some chicken stock to boil stir in cream of Celery and Ro tel tomatoes. Roll lime. squeeze 1/2 lime over Fish( other half if needed.) Cover Fish in Sauce mixture. Cover and bake 30-45 minutes. Garnish w/ some chopped parsley. Viola.
I had some blackened Tilapia at Rockfish (In Dallas only?) and it f'n rocked...I love Tilapia...A place called Flying FIsh uses tilapia for their grilled fish tacos...mmmm....
Has anyone seen the Dirty Jobs episode on striped bass and tilapia farming? When the used water from the striped bass tank, full of striped bass excrements and leftover food, needs to be cleaned before being released into the river, the first thing they do is to send the water into a canal full of tilapias and carps. The tilapias and carps eat a large portion of the striped bass excrements and leftover food, and then they send the water for further filtration and cleaning. Then the fish farmers collect the tilapia and carp and sell them. The delicious tilapia you buy at the market grow up eating striped bass excrements. That's what gives it a nice mild flavor. Aren't you glad you know this now?
Interesting article. Tilapia is good, I like it probably as much as shrimp, but neither fish can compare to the greatness that is grilled salmon.
Well catfish eat just about any and everything too. Thanks for the recipe FLAGRANT1, it was pretty good. Anybody got any good fish taco recipes? Never had them but they sound pretty good.
I hate salmon. It must not have been cooked right or something but the only time I ate it I hated it. The thing about that is that I love trout and I was told trout is similar to the taste of salmon, well the salmon I had tasted nothing like trout.
